The unforgiving Northlands . . . In Othir, he was at the top of the food chain—an assassin beyond compare, a dark shadow in the night. But Caim left that life behind when he helped an empress claim her throne. And now his past has come calling again. Searching for the truth behind the murder and disappearance of his parents, Caim discovers a land in thrall to the Shadow. Haunted by temptations from the Other Side, he becomes mired in a war he does not want to fight. But there are some things a son of the Shadow cannot ignore, and some fights from which he can’t run. In this battle, all of Caim’s strength and skill won’t be enough. For none can resist the Shadow’s Lure. From the Trade Paperback edition.

The storyline progressed well enough in this book but I was surprised to see that Josey is no longer a strong woman. Now she's a weak, whining fool who pines for Caim. The only reason I was interested in her section of the plot was my interest in what was happening to the city and the creature loose in it. This complete change in her personality threw me, and disgusted me. She seems to make every wrong choice possible and hides away in her room like a child. Now as for Caim's storyline, I was happy to learn more about his abilities, or at least what he is capable of, but I wish there had been more to Kit's story. The small tease we received leaves me wanting to know about where she came from and who she is. All together the action was great, the amount we learn about the shadow lands was suitable and at the end we are left with new questions to pique our interest in the next and final novel.
