"Shadow's Edge" is the 2nd book in the Night Angel Trilogy, and the book I just finished last night. I read the first book last month. In this book, Kylar Stern is coming to grips with a change in his life. He has a fiance, and they are caring for an orphaned child. He has left Cenaria and started a new life. But, just like Al Pacino in "The Godfather", Kylar keeps tryin' to get out, and they keep sucking him back in. As The Night Angel, his abilities make him the perfect man to rescue deposed King Logan Gyre, and stop the Khalidorian God King before he can make Cenaria his permanent home.
I liked this book a lot, though it was hard to get through the first part of it. The Khalidorian villains go beyond despicable, and much of the first part of the book focuses on the evil acts they carry out on the Cenarian people. After you get through that and the story settles on 3 main lines, that of Kylar, Logan and new hero Vi Sovarusi, the story takes off. It is full of great action, and some very funny exchanges between Kyler and Vi.
Similar recommendations to the last book. "Shadow's Edge" is definitely not for the squeamish. It's an R rated book, so be careful. If you made it through "The Way of Shadows", you'll get through this just fine.
