Experience all three books of Kayla Joan Baur's The Vigilante Trilogy in one paperback volume!
SHADOW tells the haunting story of Dakota Sterling and how she became the ruthless vigilante, Shadow, who -- along with her partner, Jasper Beauregard (Sparrow) -- protects the very city which turned her into the monster that she is. Silver City is plagued by crime and corruption, most of which is owed to the secret underground railroading faction called the Faceless League which kidnaps children and trains them to be barbarous assassins. Thirteen years ago, the Faceless League targeted three very important, wealthy children: Dakota Lovett, her younger brother, Wesley, and his best friend, Alice Fitzgerald. When young Wesley is murdered, a Dakota and Alice plotted an escape and their plan worked, but only Alice made it out. Dakota Lovett was left behind, and no one – not even Alice – ever knew what happened to her. Through analepsis, twenty-year-old Alice recounts the days of her captivity in the Faceless Institute up until her miraculous escape in order to expose the faction. To Dakota Sterling, the little girl she was before she was recruited by the Faceless League has long since been dead. To ordinary Alice Grey, the past is the key to everything - she just doesn’t know it yet. As the Shadow does what is necessary to achieve justice and protect the people, she also struggles with her epic love for the equally-haunted Jasper. When Alice Grey sets out to find the Shadow's true identity, she opens old wounds, discovers even larger conspiracies hidden beneath the streets of the city she calls home and joins a dangerous game she never meant to play.
SPARROW starts off six months after Dakota surrendered herself to the Faceless League, and Silver City has become a war zone. With the Faceless League fighting for more control over the city, and Jasper and Alice nearly powerless against them, they have no other choice than to call upon Dakota's most dangerous allies for help. They find themselves in a race against time to find a secret rebel organization called the Resistance and to expose the secrecy behind the existence of the superhuman race in an attempt to dismantle the Greywald Empire once and for all. However, in their heroic pursuit to cleanse Silver City of the evils that plague it once and for all, and save Dakota from a horrible fate unknown, they find themselves face to face with their greatest enemy yet.
ECHO concludes the trilogy as the Greywald War arrives in Silver City, at last. It is up to Dakota Sterling, Alice Grey, and Jasper Beauregard to lead the Resistance and take down the Faceless League once and for all. When Alice becomes the sole inheritor of her father's empire -- leaving her with absolute control of the dirty politics of the city -- , and Dakota becomes the unlikely leader of the superhuman Resistance, both women struggle with their newfound roles of leadership and strive to break the bloody cycle of history their parents started so many years ago. However, as their childhood traumas come back to haunt them, they realize that they must delve into their pasts and unleash the demons that Evelyn Greywald sought to make of them as children if they have any hope of defeating her once and for all. They must become heroes and monsters alike. They must become their greatest hopes and worst fears in order to survive the final battle -- an epic showdown that will prove to be unlike anything they have ever seen before.
