Book Synopsis
"A puzzling, absorbing mystery.... Recommended for readers who have been caught up in the fantasy mystery trend."--Library Journal on Shards of Glass There is always a price to be paid for power and justice. With the Academia now awakened from its centuries-long slumber, Robin, a student who hails from a prestigious family, must own up to his destiny. As heir to the Gardianno seat, a highly coveted position within the human caste court, Robin stands to inherit great power when he assumes his birthright--but at what cost? Under the guidance of a formidable Barrani lord named Teela, Robin wrestles with his newfound duties and the societal complexities that come with the privilege. Soon, however, it's apparent that others feel entitled to the seat...and they're willing to do the unthinkable in order to get it. With Teela and his best friend, Raven, at his side, Robin is ready to battle for what is rightfully his. But when the Halls of Law consider reopening the investigation into the baffling murder of his parents, the truth could lead Robin right to the heart of danger.
