    About this ebook

    Darkness never falls in the City of Lights. The last hope of a broken world, the remaining Shonri warriors brave the ever-vigilant city to fight their war against the vicious Magi — or meet their deaths. For the last witch Medina, powerful, seductive, and untrustworthy, has sold her art to their enemies.
    Can the handful of Shonri end the battle before Medina’s magic reveals them? Can Medina survive her attempts to use the Magi for her own means? And can any of them live with the results of the battle they are about to face...
    For while they scheme and fight, something stirs beneath the City of Lights... something more perilous than death itself...

    Author

    Stephen Godden

    STEVE GODDEN writes speculative fiction. He reads pretty much anything. He uses the second to fuel the first. (And writes this stuff in the third, because somebody told him once that he should and he didn’t like to argue.) Other than that, Steve’s just a bloke of independent penury and incidental personality. He also writes under the name T F Grant. Well, gotta have some variety in your life. His novella, Tales of the Shonri:City of Lights, is published by Firedance Books.
