Hunted. Captured. Indoctrinated.
Auren thought leaving the Dark Isle would give her freedom, but the Galvadi Empire has other plans. With Kado gone and her friends scattered, she must navigate a world where every shadow hides danger-and every truth comes wrapped in lies.
Torn between rescuing her loved ones and uncovering her destiny as the prophesied delohi-saqu, Auren is thrust into the heart of the Galvadi's cruel reconciliation centers. There, torture is called "cleansing," and loyalty to the empire is demanded at any cost. But even as she struggles to resist their control, a dangerous connection forms between her and Makari, the very man sworn to capture her for his father, Emperor Drevin.
Can Auren survive betrayal, brainwashing, and the terrifying pull of fate long enough to save her people? Or will she become the monster the Galvadi claim she was born to be?
Shadow Stalker Part 2 (Episodes 7-12) continues Renee Scattergood's dark fantasy serial of prophecy, survival, and the thin line between free will and destiny. Perfect for fans of Trudi Canavan, Robin Hobb, and epic YA/adult fantasy crossovers.
