The story takes place years before the events of the classic film and follows the journey of a young Gelfling woman who leaves her secluded home to uncover the truth surrounding the disappearance of her brother who has been accused of treason by the sinister Skeksis Lords. Praise for SHADOWS OF THE DARK CRYSTAL: "With deft nods to the original "Dark Crystal" movie and a passionate attention to detail, the author has fashioned an impressive prequel. Fans (who will instantly recognize certain elements) and newcomers alike will find themselves immersed in a new narrative, with new protagonists and dangers to face. Readers who crave otherworld fantasy such as Jaleigh Johnson's THE MARK OF THE DRAGONFLY and Paul Durham's THE LUCK UGLIES will enjoy discovering this new series." --School Library Journal
