The Darkest Part of the Shadow

by Caroline Lacombe

In the not too distant future, Serafina Severn has lived her whole life in the gated island community of Lansdowne, thinking she was just like everyone else. But after she finds a hidden shrine to a woman who could be her twin, Sera comes to realize she isn't like everybody else. She will meet many people along the way: Rebecca Goodfellow, a girl from the nearby Caelite community that supplies Lansdowne with organic food, and believes in a simplistic life without amenities like electricity. Alice Neron, an albino, will become Sera’s close companion – but is she to be trusted? Finally, Matteo Sandoval, a mysterious stranger from a nearby island, shows up and turns things in Lansdowne even more upside down than they already are. Sera sets out on a journey to unlock her past while trying to escape those who would control her future.
