By Janelle McCurdy, illustrated by Ana Latese
The launch of an outstanding debut fantasy series.
Beware of the shadows, the Reaper King is coming . . .
Mia always dreamed of being an umbra tamer until she met the wild creature on the Nightmare Plains. Since that day, she prefers to stay safe within the walls of Nubis.
