Yet she can't hate magic or that she is host to a Larkin, for without those life changing events Shadowdancer, the Santhyrian ambassador, would never have come into her life. In the days following their first meeting, Sorsha knows Shadowdancer completes her soul. There's only one problem. He's a horse, or at least, enough like one that her growing love is impossibly doomed before it's even fully formed.

His first obligation is to protect her and bring her back to the safety of the herd, but when Sorsha is threatened by Lord Master Trensler and his priesthood, they soon discover Trensler serves a darker master, one willing to devour all magic until the world dies and everything in it. And it wants Shadowdancer and Sorsha, and through them the rest of the Twelve. When an ambush set by Trensler traps Shadowdancer in the form a man, Sorsha sets out to teach Shadowdancer that being human isn't a curse. The proud santhyrian stubbornly tries to push Sorsha away, but when they are endangered once again the two must work together to find a way to heal themselves in order to help the rest of the Twelve. If they fail, Trensler will devour first them and then everything else Sorsha and Shadowdancer ever loved. In Deception's Shadow: The Dead Queen Blurb coming soon.
