Shatter - Rise of the Empress, #2

Which is best? To cut away the parts of ourselves we can't accept, or to find a way to accept them anyway? It's been a month since Redrinna journeyed home only to find it in ruins and come face to face with the enemy, Osiris, himself. Now, she's tormented by unrelenting guilt, indescribable nightmares, and long, sleepless nights. Tak left his home to escape his past, regardless of whether or not the Dragon Kin is where he truly belongs.
But as Redrinna grows more distant, he can't seem to find a way to fit in and not be a burden. Together, they set off to find another dragon, but their enemy is also on the move. An attack on the group lands them in the hands of the Torijin, the last survivors of a brutal genocide nearly a hundred years ago, who are being hunted by a demon that craves human flesh. Redrinna is determined to keep her friends from getting hurt, no matter what it costs her. Tak is desperate to belong, no matter what he has to hide. Now, they must find a way to leave the past behind before they destroy the Dragon Kin completely.
