Description

Seer of Shadows: Shadows of the First Trine 1... They were hardly a threat before. Sure, the shifters could look like allies, but they weren't good at imitating personalities or the little quirks that make each person unique, and they had a distinctive odor that always gave them away . . . but change is inevitable, and over time, they must have learned how to model the behavior of their chosen identity accurately. It's even rumored they managed to extinguish the telling smell! Unrest has once again blanketed the kingdoms in its darkness. A hint of magic is on the rise, and those acting from the shadows have sent out their much-improved shapeshifting monster to take advantage. Now, they allegedly walk among unsuspecting folk, virtually undetectable, but Lady Shey, with all her power as a sorceress, can't devote her time to worry about shapeshifters. She must set aside her worry and focus on her quest to save the kingdoms' only hope to crawl back into the light--a group of descendants, according to the seers, living a simple life tucked away peacefully in the mountains.
