Notes

Kellen and his murderous squirrel cat are on their own, searching for a mythical monastery known as the Ebony Abbey. It’s a place that outsiders can never find, where the monks know more about the shadowblack than anyone else.
But there are darker truths waiting there for Kellen, and when he finds himself separated from Reichis he’s forced to face the world alone and venture deeper into shadow magic than he ever knew he could.
