Shadows Past

The bestselling Borderlands saga continues Rabbit is struggling to make sense of his new powers and his new position as King Jusson's heir when a man once scorned by his mother comes seeking retribution-and demands that Rabbit marry his daughter... From In the third Borderlands novel, Rabbit, now a royal army officer, journeyman mage, and the king’s heir, meets a new complication. King Jusson has just put down a sorcerous rebellion when he receives an offer of marriage for Rabbit. Lord Idwal of Mearden, once jilted by Rabbit’s mother, wants Rabbit to marry his daughter. The royal party goes to Mearden, where conspiracy, attempted assassinations, secrets from at least five families’ pasts, clandestine revenge, and some exceedingly cunning women keep the action lively.
