A Scourge of Shadows

Book Two of Elanraigh

Why had she acted on the compulsion to enter the dangerous and forbidden cave? Well, why not—Forest-Mind must realize she is no longer a small child who must have a candle at night…besides, the Elanraigh is keeping secrets, just like Chamakin and even her father…Something is going on, and she intends to discover what. There! Something crawling at the edge of her vision—shadowy phantoms, writhed against the limestone cave wall. She felt their awareness of her, and the strength of their enmity and desire to possess her—to draw her lifeforce into itself.
