Hunted by Shadow

Someone knows her secret, and they’re willing to kill to keep it under wraps.

After their rocky start, Avery and Master Wendyn have finally formed a friendly partnership that allows them to rely upon one another. But then things start to go wrong, beginning with the Wizard Council implementing gender tests. As a girl disguised as a boy, Avery has reason to be concerned. Why does the Council seem to be aware of her presence, and how far will they go to smoke her out?

A trip to her hometown to clean up loose ends leads to the discovery that someone has been doing the cleanup for her—and they’re not afraid to kill. Who is this person who knows her secret, and more importantly, can she rationalize their murderous methods, even if the next target is the father she’s long hated?

With Avery required to prove her gender to the Council at every turn and her father a constant thorn in her side, Avery must rely on her master and her friends to evade detection. Can she keep her secret under wraps and save the life of her father too? Or will her best laid plans come tumbling around her ears?
