When her parents plan to hand her over to the Lady Aisling, who promises to “cure” Emmeline and others like her of their magic, Emmeline flees, taking shelter with a family that is also in hiding to protect their son, who can command light. Now 12, a white girl with shadow-black eyes and hair, Emmeline has a powerful talent for shadow weaving that delights her and terrifies those around her-and it doesn’t help that her own shadow, called Dar, has a life of its own.


A young girl with the power to manipulate shadows must fight for her life against enemies and friends alike in this middle-grade fantasy.Įmmeline, born under the blessing of a magic-granting comet, has had an affinity for shadows since infancy.
