Save those you can. Avenge those you can't.

In a world where friends are a liability, Night Riders like Shade have none. Riding alone keeps him alive and lets him help those who have no one else. But when a man who was once his friend-and knows the identity he cannot share with the world-chances upon him, Shade makes the mistake of making the smallest personal connection.

But friendship can be a double-edged sword, and darkness haunts Shade's steps. Both are outlaws, hunted by those who conquered their nation. Capture means a slow and painful death, living means fighting a guerilla war against overwhelming odds. Shade has never believed in no-win situations, but even the most dangerous man in Evendar can only fight so many battles. Will this be his last?

Set in the world of the Legacy, Shade is a prequel to Night Rider, currently on Kindle Vella.
