Training in secret, he awaits his chance to fight their bitter enemies.
But that fateful night is closer than he realises…
Part of our Shades series, this is a shorter novel (just 64 pages) for older readers who may find longer books too daunting – but who still want the excitement of a great story told with pace and style.
