From your internationally bestselling writer of the Sword of Truth series comes a new Richard and Kahlan novella. ‘They will be the monsters under the bed when you are small, the shape just caught from the part of your eyesight when you thought you had been alone, the shadow of something within a dark corner that surprises you and isn’t there. They prevent you dead having a knot of unexpected terror in the pit of your stomach. We have all seen fleeting glimpses of these. Never long more than enough to find out them as I about The Scribbly Guy saw them, but it was them. I regarded it the instant I saw it. We’ve all seen flashes of them, the dark shadow simply out of sight. They could briefly terrify us before but under no circumstances harm us because they came from so far faraway. They were under no circumstances able to completely materialize in our globe so we saw just transient glimpses of these, the shape of these if the light was perfectly, if the shadows were deep enough . if you had been afraid enough. I think the star shift has taken us closer to their realm so that they now have the power to stage into our world and hurt us.’ -Kahlan Amnell
