A new star is rising in the fantasy firmament...teems with magic and spine-chilling amounts of
skullduggery.-Dave Duncan author of The Great Game When young Alec of Kerry is taken prisoner
for a crime he didn't commit he is certain that his life is at an end. But one thing he never
expected was his cellmate. Spy rogue thief and noble Seregil of Rhiminee is many
things-none of them predictable. And when he offers to take on Alec as his apprentice things
may never be the same for either of them. Soon Alec is traveling roads he never knew existed
toward a war he never suspected was brewing. Before long he and Seregil are embroiled in a
sinister plot that runs deeper than either can imagine and that may cost them far more than
their lives if they fail. But fortune is as unpredictable as Alec's new mentor and this time
there just might be...Luck in the Shadows.
