In the gripping sequel to Lord of Secrets, outlaw wizard Corcoran Gray is just starting to rebuild his life - but then a mysterious plague starts killing magicians, and threatens everything he holds dear.
Death is simple. Dreams are dangerous. Life is . . . unexpected.
Outlaw wizard Corcoran Gray expected death to be final, but life, and his loved ones, had other plans. A year after being resurrected and flung into a new body, he's still trying to come to terms with his situation - and his self - when the all-powerful Mages' Guild demands his help to stop a deadly plague.
He's inclined to refuse the organisation that still wants him dead, until his partner Brix starts showing symptoms - to save her, Gray will do anything, even if it means working with his greatest enemies.
But it quickly becomes clear that this is no normal plague. The situation is more complicated, and more lethal, than anyone has realised. Ancient dangers are stirring, and thousands of lives are at stake . . .

Rezension:
The number one best thing about Breanna Teintze's books is voice. Her voice, the characters' voice, it's fantastic and never contrived. Her characterization is great. I even liked the bad guys! Teintze shows a range of skill in Lady of Shadows by making a fantastical whodunit, with twists that keep you pulling toward the finale. She delves deeper in the magic and politics as well; they're very well thought out and intriguing Charlie N. Holmberg, author of The Paper Magician
