Joined by a number of unlikely allies, who do not all get along with one another, Venetia has to fight against not only the darkness threatening to destroy her home world but the treachery of politicians, the fear in those around her, assassins that want to take her throne from her and those that would go to any lengths to try and prevent another war.   The Shroud of Darkness Box set contains the three volumes of the Shroud of Darkness trilogy in the Chronicles of Celadmore - Shroud of Darkness, Lady of Fire and End of Days   ~~~   Shroud of Darkness (Normally £9.99)   In the realm of Celadmore, evil is stirring.
