Shades and Shadows

Mason Jerah is a Shade, a mythical healer, living in secret in Northern California. Alaric Lambrecht is a Shadow, an empath and psychic, working alongside his family in the suburbs of Sacramento. After a serial killer is caught, and discovered to be a Shade, it sets in motion an unexpected tidal wave that affects them both.

Held captive by the fanatical 8th Battalion, Mason Jerah is convinced he doesn't have long to live...and he isn't alone in his captivity. The Shadows have a plan; one that could mean freedom. Meanwhile, operative Raven Ivany struggles against the forces aligning against Shades and Shadows - Shifters and Sages - and finds an unlikely companion in Zero, a teenage girl with a mysterious past and desire to prove herself.

As the world descends into ever darker chaos, Alaric Lambrecht seeks vengeance. No matter the cost. In Washington, evil takes another step toward true power. In the West, the Eighth Battalion advances a terrible plan. The Shades' refuge is in ashes. Alaric's path takes him deep into Eighth Battalion territory and on a collision course with Raven Ivany and Zero, bringing Shadows and Shifters, Sages and Shades all together with a common enemy. The question is, can they together take the fight to the mastermind who is tearing the country apart - and defeat him?
