Description
As the Cloaked Shadow, Fawkes has made his career breaking into prisons for any contract with a large enough purse. He takes advantage of the kingdom’s impending revolution by playing both sides of the conflict. Each rescue contract he fulfills turns a tidy profit until he angers the wrong duke.
Charlotte is a criminal-in-training who yearns to crack her mentor’s guarded façade, but is unprepared to confront the depths of his dark past. As her sense of right and wrong blurs, Charlotte discovers just how far she will go for the Cloaked Shadow and the sacrifices he requires.
Now hunted throughout the land, Fawkes must face long-buried secrets in order to survive, but they could destroy him. Charlotte risks everything, including her heart, to set Fawkes on the path to redemption.
Will Charlotte have the strength to pull Fawkes into the light, or will she follow him into the shadows?

This story had a very interesting, gripping beginning. As the world grew, all the hate, pain, and fear became more apparent. I hated how Charlotte lost her innocent approach to life, trying to protect her family and all. Fawkes brought out the better in her and built her inner strength as well as her outer strength. He was almost like three different people, with his pain from past hurts helping him survive. The two supported each other, and there were times I actually had tears in my eyes. I would have loved a better overall “view” of the world created in this book, but it did not take away from the storytelling.
I received an ARC of this story for free, and this is my unsolicited review.
