Aprašymas

Set in dark alien worlds and told in the first person with three separate voices, The Shadows We Make is a young adult tale filled with bravery, magic and the binding power of friendship.

Sixteen-year-old Grace Irese possesses more than her warrior's prowess; she is gifted in ways she does not yet realize. One thing not in her possession is the sense to keep her mouth shut. In the midst of war she dismisses an aging practice which has over the years become tantamount to law and is charged with treason. Finding herself transported to an off-world facility for juvenile political prisoners in the ancient Emerald Penal Colony, she soon suspects the horrific stories they've all heard are true, and why none ever leave except in death. Grace refuses to be broken by the lifelong punishment, however, and even though little can be gleaned about the planet's environment beyond the prison walls she plots to break out from the secure facility and return to her war-torn home. If the desert warrior and her unlikely companions manage to escape into the verdant darkness, can they survive unscathed and unchanged, or will they find they've been altered in unimaginable ways?
