The Shadows We Make

A war-torn world. A desert warrior, a con artist, a mystic, a thief. Destiny.
War has come to Citadel, threatening the desert provinces. Grace Irese, sixteen-year-old warrior, makes an enemy in a powerful man. She's not alone. Duncan Oaks, teenage member of the Grif-Drif Con-Artist Guild, has made one bad choice too many in his dealings. When both are remanded to an off-world juvenile facility with lifetime sentences, Grace and Duncan plot an escape into the horrific environment beyond in order to save Duncan's sister from the embattled planet below. Will they and their unlikely companions survive unscathed?
The Shadows We Make, book one in the Shadow Journey series, is a blend of science fiction and fantasy in a dystopian alien world and told in the first person in three distinct, separate voices.
