Shadows Gather (In Shadow, #21)
Description
What would the world be like without the Shadow? Particularly without Jace? For most, it might be a relief, but for certain people, life just got a whole lot more complicated, if not downright weird! After a brief cameo in another series/world, Jace is back and eager to show off his new ninja skills only to discover there isn't a Shadow left to impress, instead he has a pocketful of rocks, an old book of stories, and a mission from the Fiend himself. Donning a Famouser Hat of old acquaintance, hunting sea monsters, infiltrating a school for female assassins, and being framed for the Lady's murder are just the beginning of yon scamp's adventures, nobody knows what he will get up to next, most especially Jace himself!

Person
Once upon a time there was a sensible young lady who pursued a practical career, but finding it far less fulfilling than the proponents of the modern fairytale promulgate, she then married a clergyman, much to everyone's astonishment, including her own, and in proper fairytale fashion keeps house for the mysterious gentleman in a far away land, spending most of her time in company with a very short, whimsical person who can almost speak English. She enjoys fantasy, fairy tales, and adventure stories and her writing reflects this quaint affectation. She considers Happy Endings (more or less) a requisite to good literature and sanity, though real stories never, truly end.
