She was born in shadow.

She was raised in shadow.

She was trained in shadow.

She was free of shadow.

Now she is being drawn back in.

Kylanna Noric finally had the freedom she had always wanted, escaping her former life of death and mystery, as one of the greatest assassins who had ever lived.

But just as she was beginning to enjoy her life on her own terms, a figure from her past finds her and pushes her back into a life she worked so hard to free herself from.

Now, tossed into the great city of Valla, and forced to dawn the Obsidian Mask once again, Kylanna must navigate a world she knows very little about and dig deeper into the mystery of her target, a man said to be able to summon lightning from his fingertips, all while juggling a secret identity and a romance she never wanted.

By day she is just Kylanna Noric but by night she is someone else. She is something else. And in order to save a kingdom, she must embrace her former identity, as the Shadow of Khyara.
