They were hardly a threat before. Sure, the shifters could look like allies, but they weren't good at imitating personalities or the little quirks that make each person unique, and they had a distinctive odor that always gave them away . . . but change is inevitable, and over time, they must have learned how to model the behavior of their chosen identity accurately. It's even rumored they managed to extinguish the telling smell! Now, they allegedly walk among unsuspecting folk, virtually undetectable, but the sorceress Lady Shey must set aside her worries about shapeshifting monster to focus on her quest of saving the kingdoms' only hope back into the light—a group of descendants, according to the seers, living a simple life tucked away peacefully in the mountains. The only problem is she might be unwittingly leading the monsters straight to them.

Serpent in the Mist: Shadows of the First Trine 3…The forces of darkness have a new weapon, and they are using it to extraordinary effect, taking the wielders of magic totally by surprise. Not only does this new weapon take on the form of anyone it chooses but it also mimics their quirks, mannerisms, and voices as well. The stakes are high. An ancient battlefield, reduced to a wasteland long ago, is regenerating and exuding high levels of the magical energy, which makes the battlefield a prize worth winning. Devyn, his friends, and a handful of magic wielders have fallen victim to the devastation of the shapeshifting monsters. Having nowhere to turn, they must now travel to the ancient and wise Ianthill, a master magic wielder, and seek his counsel on what to do next. But Ianthill is old, out of practice, and has never faced anything as destructive as what he must face now. Time and time again, his plans lead to death and despair. But, just over the horizon may be the lucky break they need to turn things around…if they can manage to stay alive that long.
