Description
Everything has its price; even death. For Leopold and his friends, a group known as The Shadow, assassination, theft, and espionage are nothing personal; they're just part of the job. Their skills go to the highest bidder no matter the assignment, making The Shadow the most notorious collection of criminals in the realm. As long as the money is good, they never ask questions; however, as the jobs get personal, Leopold's walls against his reservations begin to buckle. Anything for the money" is The Shadow's motto and their leader's favorite saying, but how long can money continue to pay off their consciences? Join the Shadow in an episodic journey of danger and adventure as they struggle between money and morality, asking the question, is it worth gaining the world at the cost of your soul?

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.
