Description
The Shadow knows some truths may be incriminating. Thanks to their friendship with Lady Maria, a new chapter in their lives has blossomed, taking them in a fresh direction from their career of crime. But while in the eyes of many they are quickly becoming heroes, they have not been absolved of their previous crimes.
Compounding the issue, Daniel, ever the profiteer, is quick to point out being a hero does not pay as much as their previous vocation. Besides, it is only a matter of time until Lady Maria, Baron Dietrich, and the rest of their allies discover their dark secret, and then the cost will be high indeed. As circumstances force wedges into The Shadow, the ever-present question remains: How many good deeds must a man do to atone for a life of sin?

Person
PETER LAST was very nearly born in an elevator and has continued to be unconventional ever since. He is the sixth child in a large family but, despite having been homeschooled from kindergarten until twelfth grade, has an expansive social life and has never been locked in a closet. He began writing his first novel, Guardians of Magessa, at the age of eleven, receiving great encouragement from his family in the form of compliments such as "Your book is actually not that bad!"
After earning his degree in Civil Engineering and commission in the United States military, he is now serving in the US Air Force, protecting the nation from its enemies, termites, and HVAC outages. In the little spare time he has, Peter writes a blog (peterlast.blogspot.com) where he posts short stories, reviews books and movies, and addresses a mixture of serious and absurd topics, from global warming
to pencil sharpeners. Peter's other hobbies include drawing, dabbling in amateur film directing, and discharging powerful firearms at shooting ranges. At present, he is busy finishing up In the Service of the King, the third and final book in his Shadow for Hire series.
