Five years ago Gray stole a magic stone from the shadow-infested ruins of Sangarie. Now the elf who fought beside him has returned to warn him of the impending catastrophe–and to make sure the future happens as it should. The Night of Shadows is less than two weeks away, and it will usher in the end of Sangarie. The vision granted to Gray in the labyrinth revealed he'll be the one who holds the stone aloft and calls down destruction on the city, but he's not willing to accept that. While the elf works to figure out how to make the Night of Shadows happen as it needs to, Gray scrambles to find a way to save not only the people he cares about, but everyone in the city. A darkness inside the stone watches through the shadows, waiting to be released, and a deadly game of secrets is playing out on the streets. Time is running out and the city seems doomed, but Gray is a thief and a cheat, and if anyone can trick fate, he can.
