Dealing in Shadows

Description

There are those born with powers beyond comprehension. Some call them blessings, proof that the gods favor their owners and chose them to rule. Others call them an offense, citing the cost of bearing them as proof of divine punishment.

For Carter, they’re another commodity to trade. Everything has a price, and their price is years and lives. Legal or not, the empire’s laws are barriers to maneuver around, not to heed.

For others, the empire’s many barriers are too great to let stand, and they seek his help, promising him great rewards. But regardless of his plans, everything has a cost too.

Dealing in Shadows is a deep look at what moves people. At what they’re willing to do for what they believe is right. At what they’re willing to do for what they believe they want. At the outcomes no one expects.

If you wish to enjoy a realistic fantasy in a rich world with impossible questions through a compelling story carried by a wide cast of flawed, vivid characters, read this book.
