A Shadowcaster, trained from youth Kira lives a double life. An antiguities expert who is role by day and at night she fights evil. An evil that has reached the city trying to claim a 4,ooo year old daggar that has fallen into Kira's hands. She feels that she is cursed though, not able to touch anyone, literally sucking the life from their bodies she has become hard and lonely. But the girl is strong, one kick ass deadly woman. But now in possession of the dagger from her handler who was murdered she now has an Egyptian, an ancient Nubian warrior who claims that the dagger is his, and he wants it back. That Eqyptian Warrior is named Khefar and he will do anything, anything to get it back. Even if that means team up with Kira! Very cool and excited I really liked Seressia Glass' Shadow Blade.
For Kira Solomon, normal was never an option.
Kira's day job is as an antiquities expert, but her true calling is as a Shadowchaser. Trained from youth to be one of the most lethal Chasers in existence, Kira serves the Gilead Commission, dispatching the Fallen who sow discord and chaos. Of course, sometimes Gilead bureaucracy is as much a thorn in her side as anything the Fallen can muster against her. Right now, though, she's got a bigger problem. Someone is turning the city of Atlanta upside down in search of a millennia-old Egyptian dagger that just happens to have fallen into Kira's hands.
Then there's Khefar, the dagger's true owner -- a near-immortal 4,000-year-old Nubian warrior who, Kira has to admit, looks pretty fine for his age. Joining forces is the only way to keep the weapon safe from the sinister Shadow forces, but now Kira is in deep with someone who holds more secrets than she does, the one person who knows just how treacherous this fight is. Because every step closer to destroying the enemy is a step closer to losing herself to Shadow forever....
