Gwyllgi. Black Dog. Churchyard Beast.
These are names that have terrorized the Cradle since before the days of the First King. More curse than creature, the gwyllgi became the reason people fear the dark.
While in search of the legendary Well of Worlds, the Songspear known as Aristoi fell victim to just such a bloodthirsty beast. Although she slew it through courage, cunning and iron, she inherited its foul legacy.
Aristoi, Hollis, and Asaege are forced to brave the peril-filled streets of Oenigh and the punishing wastes of the Expanse in search of the last surviving herald. In the hope of saving the Songspear’s soul, the companions must make a deal with the only being on the face of Taerh with the knowledge and power to free her from the bonds of her ancient curse.
Meanwhile in our world, Hector returns with a trail of bodies in his wake to threaten Jillian and a recovering Stephen. Friends, both old and new, emerge to aid them in their time of need, but whom can they truly trust?
Shadows of a Promise is the fourth and final installment in the Well of Shadows tetralogy. Filled with action and suspense, it serves as the thrilling conclusion to SL Harby’s beloved series.
