She's a master thief as elusive as her name whose dagger is as sharp as her eyes and wits. Where there's a rich merchant to rob, good food and wine to be had, or a lusty fellow to kiss ... there's Shadow. What do the Guild of Thieves, the deadliest assassin in Allanmere, a long-vanished mage, a treacherous swamp, and a gem missing from a temple have in common? Shadow, of course. When Shadow is accused of a theft of guild-wrecking proportions, she forms an unlikely alliance with the strange immortal creature known only as Blade to find out who has framed her and the Guild of Thieves for the theft-and why. Deadly Companion! When shadow has to recover a stolen jewel from the wizard Baloran, her journey is as perilous as her destination. For only Blade can guide Shadow to the sorcerer's lair ... and Blade is an assassin who takes a life as easily as she takes a breath. Shadow's score with Baloran can end only in destruction. But in the final battle, will Blade be at Shadow's side-or in her way?

About the Author
Anne Logston has been steadily building a body of work that has earned a unique place in fantasy fiction. With the novel Shadow, she created a fascinating medieval world filled with magic, humor, grit and a feisty, unforgettable heroine, Shadow--an elvan thief who returned in the novels Shadow Hunt and Shadow Dance. The adventures of Shadow's niece, Jaellyn--born of royal and elvan blood--are vividly portrayed in the thrilling novels Dagger's Edge and Dagger's Point. And her powerful fantasy epics Greendaughter and Wild Blood take readers deeper into Logston's fully drawn world--generations before Shadow was born. Her new novel, Guardian's Key, is her most ambitious work to date, a magical journey of self- discovery that opens new doors of the imagination.
