Description
Rhia Harlyn is a noble in Shen, one of the dozens of shadowlands which separate the bright, alien skyland. She has a missing brother, an unwanted marriage proposal and an interest in science considered unbecoming in her gender. Her brother's disappearance coincided with a violent unsolved murder, and Rhia impulsively joins the search party headed into the skyland - a place whose dangers and wonders have long fascinated her. The dangerous journey brings her into conflict with a young rebel stuck between the worlds of shadow and light, and a charismatic cult leader who believes he can defeat death itself.

Featured Reviews
Stefan F, Reviewer
The first book in the Shadowlands series.
HIDDEN SUN is an interesting fantasy tale. The protagonist is well-drawn, and it offers a good spin on the popular device of having a protagonist (in this case a woman) bucking social mores/conventions. She's capable and confident, and a good guide to this world.
The story was pretty good, but with some dips in momentum and I didn't *love* it. I'd be interested in checking out the second book, but I can't say that I'm in a rush to do so.
