Winner of 2016 Readers Favorite 5-Star Review & Recommendation Gairynzvl risked everything to escape his captivity in the darkness.

The success of his plan hinges upon the unique skills and magic of everyone who chooses to join his band of Liberators, and it will require a level of dependence upon each other for which few of them are prepared. Their actions will test all their limits, could easily divide loyalties, and will shake the foundations of everything The Fey of The Light have accepted as truth for thousands of years. Based in part on the true-life events of the Lord’s Resistance Army or LRA, a rebel militant group in Uganda that commonly abducts children and forces them to commit horrifying acts of violence against each other and their own people, Standing in Shadows reaches deeper into the darkness, but never strays entirely out of the Light.
