Synopsis
Shadow's Edge picks up after Kylar Stern has abandoned his identity as the assassin known as the Night Angel, settling into a quieter existence with his companion Elene following a coup in Cenaria that left his mentor Durzo Blint and his best friend Logan apparently dead. Trying to build an ordinary life away from killing, Kylar is unsettled when he receives word suggesting Logan may in fact still be alive, held somewhere in the chaos left by the new Godking's rule. Torn between the peace he has found and his loyalty to a friend he believes he failed, Kylar must decide whether to set aside the life he has tried to build and take up his old, dangerous skills once more to learn the truth and, if possible, save him.
