A Book of Fire & Shade: A Trilogy of Fated Love by Snow is a deep and complex fantasy that revolves around two star-crossed souls and the universal fates that ebb and flow through their seemingly doomed romance. Although their relationship features as the main plot of the story, the rich and semi-familiar fantasy world of the Sphere provides a textured setting for this timeless tale of love lost and found, and lost again. In this world, the spiritual Practitioners are outcasts from the religious Chancel. From this conflict sprout the seeds of deception, betrayal, and the ultimate struggle for magical supremacy.

As this is the first book of a trilogy, the full story arc is not revealed, and this left me wanting to continue reading beyond the last page.
