Shadowblack

Kellen is only sixteen, and a reward has already been set on his head. He left home—he has neither money nor magic. But he and his partners—the page and mapmaker Ferius Perfex and the bloodthirsty white-beast cat Reychys—have gained a reputation as a gang capable of handling any mage. So it’s hardly surprising that many people turn to them for help.

Beren is threatened by mage-hunters who cast a deadly spell on his only daughter, Seneira. At first, Kellen doesn’t want to get involved in the matter. But noticing that the symptoms of the girl’s illness resemble those he has himself, he can’t stay on the sidelines. If he defeats the Black Shadow of Seneira, will he receive healing hope for himself too?
