The Battle of Danubris (The Shadow Trilogy 1)
by Claus Holm

A searing exploration of grief, desire and self destruction, The End of The Summer follows Ama, a young woman consumed by fear of intimacy, whose affair with the patient Soleil spirals into obsession, betrayal, and collapse. In the aftermath of lost love and the shadow of her father's absence, Ama must confront the wreckage of her own making and the possibility of healing through memory, not redemption.
