People never really listen. Ask Mandy Svetlana Valems, who, after the harrowing death of her not-so-imaginary friend, is being forced to visit a psychologist and being interrogated by the Cape Breton police after reporting his death. "He isn't real", they all say, but they have no idea. With some help from an unlikely source, Mandy is going to revive her friend and help others who are in danger of the same fate he had. But from her well-meaning yet misunderstanding family, to the locals she grew up with in the past, to old memories that refuse to go away, there are a lot of obstacles to get over... including her friend, who has some dark secrets about what happened to him during his death that are driving him crazy. When your friends aren't ordinary people and your world is changing every day, how do you stay down-to-earth? Mandy is about to find out. Shadowed Skies explores a life ignored by most other people, but one that isn't lonely. When your friends are Personifications and you have a chance to start things over for a brighter future, anything can happen.
