Book Description
Everything must face the end As the human population recovers from the great wars of thirty years ago, the young Nila Straese discovers that she is a descendant from a long lineage of dark mages, both blessed and cursed with the ability to rapidly disintegrate living flesh and matter. As she embarks on a perilous adventure, she discovers that her true father might be the legendary dragon man himself, Candor Shade—and that her powers have far greater importance than she ever imagined. As Nila continues her journey in an attempt to master her power, the three populous countries and even the tribal grasslands begin to stir. In the populous country of Lyend, the devout prince Mellwin Gowrett appears to be blessed by divine beasts to reinforce a struggling military, but inequality and revolution begin to brew in the shadows. In the People's Icen Republic, the mysterious Heldara Valendorf recruits eight new conscripts, eager to continue the path of conquest and attempts at enlightenment that her ancestors started. And in the technologically advanced country of Bayselt, the young commander Bestin Steel attempts to mediate conflict between the two countries. Deep underground, as humans continue to foolishly bicker over wealth, power, and territory, a mysterious undying has begun to rise. Humans have always craved salvation and immortality, but what does that truly mean?

Book Description
"Hauntingly good" - P.C. Cast, co-author of the #1 NYT bestselling House of Night series Like everyone born after The Shift, sixteen year-old Aura can see and talk to ghosts. Persistent, and often angry, some even on the verge of becoming Shades, these violet-hued spirits are constantly talking to her, following her, and demanding her help to make amends for their untimely deaths. Aura has always found this mysterious ability annoying and wished she could find a way to reverse it. She'd much rather the ghosts left her alone so she could spend time with her boyfriend, Logan. But when Logan dies suddenly and unexpectedly, Aura is forced to reconsider her connections with the dead… and, the living. Surely a violet-hued spirit Logan is better than no Logan at all, isn't it? And things are complicated further when new exchange student, Zachary, is paired with Aura for a class project researching the 'Shift phenomenon'. Zach is so understanding - and so very alive. His support and friendship means more to Aura than she cares to admit. And, as Aura's relationships with both the dead, and the living, become more complicated, so do her feelings for both Logon and Zach. Each holds a piece of her heart… and clues to the secret of the shift. "A fully satisfying read, with well-developed, believable characters. Smith-Ready changes the world completely by simply changing our ability to see" - Publishers Weekly, starred review
