The Shadow of the Four (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781069299116)

After the traumatic death of her mother, "Girl" wants nothing more than to fade into obscurity behind the clandestine walls of the Faith of the Four Spirits Monastery. As an exceedingly rare magic wielder who possesses the ability to manipulate all four elements, Girl is worshipped as a divine being but forced to train with the very power responsible for her mother's murder.

When Girl realizes she may not be as unique as she was led to believe, she embarks into the world only to discover elaborate deceptions to be unraveled, concealed identities to be exposed, and that the leader of the Monastery may have more sinister plans for her followers than mere education.

Girl must decide if her newly forged friendships are worth facing the reality of what she is training to become, or whether she will succumb to the darkness that feeds her.
