Between the real and the unreal, the created and uncreated lies the capstone of the universe: the living city, Even Na Shetiyah. Eternally in flux and the only door between What-was-Not and What-Was, Even City is many things to the creatures who dwell within its wall: home, stopover, prison. For Blodouwedd, a woman created from flowers by the sorcerer-god Math, it is a sanctuary, a place to escape the punishment meted out for her role in - temporarily - murdering her husband, a hero of Welsh legend. She wants no part in the Even's numerous feuds and power struggles but when an unknown enemy begins to undo the very magic holding Blodouwedd together, she is forced to enter the fray before all that is left of her are the petals Math used to create her. Blodouwedd has no shortage of enemies. Her powerful in-laws whose honour she affronted? The god who created her only for her to defy him? Set upon a dangerous and treacherous path through the Even's chaotic society, Blodouwedd turns to the only one she knows she can trust; Lleu Llaw Gyffes, the husband she killed. Shadows Bloom is a stand-alone novel in T.A. Moore's Tales of the Even
