The first in an all-new futuristic fantasy series from Keri Arthur—the New York Times bestselling author of the Souls of Fire novels.
 
When the bombs that stopped the species war tore holes in the veil between this world and the next, they allowed entry to the Others—demons, wraiths, and death spirits who turned the shadows into their hunting grounds. Now, a hundred years later, humans and shifters alike live in artificially lit cities designed to keep the darkness at bay....
 
As a déchet—a breed of humanoid super-soldiers almost eradicated by the war—Tiger has spent her life in hiding. But when she risks her life to save a little girl on the outskirts of Central City, she discovers that the child is one of many abducted in broad daylight by a wraith-like being—an impossibility with dangerous implications for everyone on earth.
 
Because if the light is no longer enough to protect them, nowhere is safe...

      Hundreds of years ago, a war between humans and shifters almost destroyed the world, ripping holes in reality from which monstrous things came to pass. The humans' weapon of last resort was the dechet, or engineered soldiers. The victorious shifters believe they destroyed all the dechet, but Tiger has been hiding for a long time. Now, something is stealing children, and Tiger agrees to work with a group of shifters to retrieve them. This series opener from Arthur (Full Moon Rising; Darkness Unbound) introduces an intriguing world and a marvelous heroine who speaks to ghosts and agrees to work with the shifters who hate her kind to protect the vulnerable. VERDICT Fans of Nalini Singh's "Psy-Changeling" series will enjoy the similar mix of sf and fantasy, although the romance elements here are not as central to the plot.--MM
