The Brightest Shadow Books in Order

Warrior Tani crosses the grasslands seeking a way to avert war between humans and the mansthein. With unlikely companions and divided loyalties around her, she confronts legends of a Hero whose certainty may be more dangerous than any enemy.

Tani and her companions journey north seeking sages who might stop the Hero's destructive quest. Their search leads into mountain conflicts that test her ideals, her allies' loyalties, and their hopes of preventing another devastating war.

Veteran warriors Anyinn and Canumon represent different peoples drawn into a struggle over an ancestral homeland. As political forces bring their families together, their friendship faces a test neither could have anticipated in their younger years.

As rival powers push toward war, Tani and her allies race to stop the Hero and another formidable warrior. Their separate searches for strength, history, and loyalty may determine whether the approaching confrontation destroys everything they hope to protect.
