An old foe and an ancient enemy join forces to conquer the known world. The Brethren are forced to confront the mostly contented and oblivious nations and prepare them for a war that might destroy everything. Even if the nations can unite, a much greater evil has yet to reveal itself and this may mean defeat in the very hour of victory unless a mission of dire secrecy is successful.

The armed conflict is over and the world anticipates a time of peace and prosperity, but a war of a different sort is looming, one for the heart and soul of humanity. Since time began, the Brethren have been the guardians of Knowledge and Truth, but their ancient stewardship is about to be challenged by those who seek Reason at any cost. Who will decide how the world puts itself back together?

Can these two enigmatical leaders come to a mutual understanding of one another and their peculiar roles and work together against an ancient foe? And perhaps more importantly: who will keep Jace out of trouble?

He’s finally done it, the only wonder is how the world's survived his antics this long. Jace, the imprecisely named Last Shadow, finally blows up the world. Perhaps it is not wholly his fault, but that’s never stopped him from claiming credit for such feats before. Join Jace and a few old friends for a last romp through the world’s twilight years; the Apocalypse has never been this much fun!

Snippets from a time-traveling library? Just another day in the life of a Shadow! Join a few old friends, and make a few new ones, on a rollicking adventure through time wherein you might encounter just about anything from zombies to the world's most exciting retirement party, but as ever, nothing is more peculiar than Jace himself! Enjoy a collection of short stories from the 'In Shadow' series.

As a new generation of Shadows comes of age, some things never change, most especially Jace. Join the world's most astonishing hero, and a few new friends, as they discover not only what it means to be Shadow, but more importantly, human.

Jace is at it again, no not destroying the world, that's a whole other book, but rather introducing the next generation of Shadows to his usual impish mayhem! Filled with his usual incomprehensible humor, zany antics, and impossible adventures, delve in if you dare! Don't forget your smile and sense of humor, but any Philosophers in the audience are strongly cautioned.

For a man whose life is one epic tale after another, what happens when he suddenly encounters a variety of characters out of what everybody else thinks is just another book of fairy tales? What happens when the world is bereft of the Shadow, and Jace in particular? Jace gets to discover just that after his vacation in another reality, and for once he isn't the only one having absurd adventures!

A few really old friend and Jace's usual zest for zaniness can only mean another Shadow book. You never know what will happen or where or when the adventure will take you, but at least you'll make good time, at least when you aren't suddenly stuck in the past, never mind, with Jace around, anything and everything is possible, except boredom. So sit back and enjoy!
