The Shadows We Make

A war-torn world. A desert warrior, a con-artist, a mystic, a thief. Destiny.

War has come to Citadel, threatening the desert provinces. I, sixteen-year-old warrior, have made an enemy of a powerful man. I'm not alone. Duncan Oaks, teenage member of the Grif-Drif Con-Artist Guild, has also made one bad choice too many in his dealings.

Now we are both remanded to an off-world juvenile facility with lifetime sentences. Yes, you heard me right. Lifetime. Still, we are determined. Even now, we plot an escape into the horrific environment outside these walls in order to save Duncan's sister from the embattled planet below.

There's only one question, the only one that matters, I suppose. Will we survive?

The Shadows We Make, book one in the Shadow Journey series, is a blend of science fiction and fantasy in a dystopian alien world and told in the first person in three distinct, separate voices.
