Draped in Shadow

When Ayah Davan was assigned by the University of Kizdir to experiment on one of the most expensive minerals in the world - casibe, she didn't expect to discover a science both deadly and magical.

Framed for setting fire to a peace summit and causing a diplomatic disaster, she manages to escape her cell only to be kidnapped by the very people who framed her. They want the secret of her discovery. The cost? Her life.

Zara Uzcal is in a sticky situation. Somebody knows her identity as the black marketeer and casibe supplier that has plagued Kizdir for months. They want her to supply them with casibe, or they'll turn her in. Except Zara has a problem - her casibe shipments have stopped arriving, and Ayah Davan may be the only person who can identify the blackmailer. She snares Ayah's friends, making promises she knows she won't keep.

Hilal and Waleed will do anything to find Ayah, even if it means allying with the elusive Spider.

What they don't realise is who they are up against - a group that has lingered in the shadows for hundreds of years, its hand in every country, kingdom, and government.

And they are about make their kill.

They are all connected, knives at invisible throats, ready to murder each other in the dark.

But they all wait...
