Adventure, romance, and magic fill this tale of a girl who longs for love and freedom, and above all, to know herself. In a time of kings, queens, and conspiracy, it's impossible to know whom one can trust. . . . In a kingdom far away and long ago, it was prophesied at her birth that the queen would die before her sixteenth birthday. So Shadow, an orphan girl the same age as the young queen, was given the duty to watch her every move. And as prophesies do tend to come true, the queen is poisoned days before her birthday. When the castle is thrown into chaos, Shadow escapes with a young knight, whom she believes was betrothed to the queen. Unsure of why she is following Sir Kenway, but determined to run as far from her longtime prison as possible, Shadow sets off on an adventure with the handsome knight. But the kingdom is dying around them, and Shadow senses there are unknown forces at work. As mystery and romantic tension build, will Shadow uncover her own destiny?

"4.5 - Superheroes wreck up the cities, leaving waves of destruction behind them as they try to stop the villains. Who has to deal with the mess now? <br/><br/>Well, call S.H.A.D.O.W., the company that is hired to keep the buildings built and civilians safe. <br/><br/>Why haven’t you heard of them before? It’s because the protocol of a SHADOW worker is to wipe the memory to make it seem as if they don’t exist. <br/><br/>If you can’t tell already, I love this story. Previously I had never even thought about who has to clean up behind the superheroes. SHADOW members do it quickly and efficiently, along with working with really cool equipment, too! <br/><br/>I found the art to be enjoyable. Another bonus was that it matched the story. Everyone had different faces which is unlike the manga/manhwa world. <br/><br/>It’s sad how this was so short. It was 12 episodes on Webtoons, which is unlike a lot of their other Originals. It had such a compelling story with interesting characters. I wouldn’t mind if it got a prequel series at all. There was a ton of info that wasn’t given that could be given. But that’s probably not what the creators want. <br/><br/>If you’re looking for a quick but compelling superhero read, give this one a shot!"
