The Darkling Souls world returns with a novella set in the conquering empire, which hides a dark and deadly secret that could change the course of the war. The Nameless Shadow is intended to be read as a companion novella between books 1 and 2, though it can function as a standalone.
You Can't Defeat a Shadow
The nameless spy swore to stop the conquering emperor and his bloodthirsty goddess from unleashing a horde of ancient beasts. As rebellion rises in the enslaved city, the spy finds himself thrust into a deadly world of magic and interfering deities—where one misstep can cost your soul. Running out of time to weaken the invading forces, the spy turns to rebel Mei for help. After a lifetime of lurking alone in the shadows, he finds himself with an unlikely partner whose energy and chaos is a breath of fresh air. Their missions hurl them straight into the midst of the magic consuming the city while the emperor assembles the might of the empire to hunt them down.
