The Ghost and its Shadow

By Shaun Hick

FORBIDDEN TO YOU ... IS THE FLESH OF MAN

A child is taken from the banks of a river in Northern Australia. Her killer could be any of a number of man-eating wyrms in the area. Each of these monsters has its own story and a date with an unlikely trio determined to make them repent for their transgressions.

***

Washed from her home moments after her hatchlings are born, a small gyrm named Yigit soon finds herself in dangerous waters where the larger, ferocious wyrms rule unopposed. Confronted by a monster intent on devouring her, she is reluctantly saved by the actions of a mysterious wyrm with no name.

As she is forced deeper into wyrm-ridden waters, Yigit's only hope of ever finding a safe new home for her remaining hatchling is to ensure her unwilling guardian is around to protect them. But given his seemingly suicidal mission, to locate the most fearsome man-eaters in the world - and make them repent - he's going to need all the knowledge, trickery (and live bait) Yigit can provide.
