An evil queen…a girl of the old race…a mage torn between them…
In a land ruled by a cruel queen, only her half sister—born of an ancient, powerful but despised race--can stand against her and her ally, the Graylord, master of the undead. Yet although Shadow has inherited special gifts, she and her ragtag friends must journey to a forbidden realm to enlist the aid of a great mage… who has the power to claim her heart, and to betray her.
First published by the s.f. imprint DAW, Shadowlight has been lightly re-edited for its digital release.
Jackie Hyman has created a world in Shadowlight that is interesting and keeps the reader going. Good and evil are clearly defined, but there are hidden currents that make the picture riskier than originally thought. Shadowlight is an easy read and was a good way to while away a rainy afternoon and evening.

I strongly recommend this novel to all fantasy readers, especially those who enjoy original stories, unpredictable plots, and characters who grow over the course of the book. I got to bed late every night while reading SHADOWLIGHT because I kept reading "just one more scene" and "just one more scene" and "just one more scene," wanting to know what happened next to Shadow and her companions.
