Or was it a dangerous order of Carathian sorcerers, believed extinct, resurfacing from the shadows?Through their inquiry, the preceptors discovered evidence linking the Na'dari killings to the terrorist attacks--and a wider plot within the Imperial Government to overthrow the empire. Now, Bribane and Hawkins must tread carefully or risk becoming targets themselves. Shadows of Carath is the first book in an Epic Space Fantasy series in the tradition of Star Wars and Flash Gordon.
