Cain is not having a great week. Guilty of murdering his own brother, he’s lying low hoping his new neighbors don’t find out. It doesn’t help that he has a sarcastic guard dog who can remember the future, plus a mysterious theft that just might implicate him and blow his cover. Hardly without trying, he stumbles on a plot that threatens the entire Race. Can he and his newfound circle of Firstworlders use their Skills to prevent the shattering of the one thing that holds Humankind together? The odds are not good.

Shard Night is the first book in the Firstworld Cycle.
