Silver Shadows

Silver Shadows splits you in two. Half the book is Sydney trapped in Alchemist re-education, fighting brainwashing and despair with nothing but her own mind. The other half is Adrian spiraling, pulling every thread to find her. When they finally reunite, the relief hits like a freight train. This is the book where Mead proves the Bloodlines series earned every ounce of slow-burn payoff from the previous four novels.
