In Othir, he was at the top of the food chain—an assassin beyond compare, a dark shadow in the night. But Caim left that life behind when he helped an empress claim her throne. And now his past has come calling again.
Searching for the truth behind the murder and disappearance of his parents, Caim discovers a land in thrall to the Shadow. Haunted by temptations from the Other Side, he becomes mired in a war he does not want to fight.
But there are some things a son of the Shadow cannot ignore, and some fights from which he can't run. In this battle, all of Caim's strength and skill won't be enough. For none can resist the Shadow's Lure.

Once an assassin without peer, Caim left his former life when he assisted the empress Josey in claiming her throne. Now, as Josey engages in the daily battles of political intrigue within her palace, Caim travels to the far north, which has fallen to the Shadow, to search for answers about the disappearance of his parents and the truth of his birth. The sequel to Shadow's Son brings together the dark plots and underpinnings of Sprunk's fantasy world and expands on the nature of Caim's ghostly companion, Kit. VERDICT This addition to the sword-and-sorcery genre features both action and magic as well as a tale of unrequited love and unlikely lovers.
