The Shadow Gypsy is the second book in the Shadow Sisters series (The Shadow Ryana) featuring Ryana the Shadow Sister.  It picks up immediately where The Shadow Ryana left off.  Ryana marries her beloved Luca and joins his Gypsy clan to travel and entertain across the country.  Only Ryana is not completely happy in her new life. She is still tortured by inner thoughts of the many people who died at her hands in the quest to stop the murder of her fellow Shadow Sisters.  She feels unworthy to be a Shadow Sister with so much blood on her hands.  In the Shadow Gypsy Ryana finds herself in the middle of a new war where she must kill again.  Minding altering and enslaving drugs are being used by cult like followers of various Gods in an attempt to take over the country.With the aid of her friends from the first book and help from the Shadow Sisters Ryana must stop the overthrow of the governments of her country. There is a very harsh divide between the Nobles and commoners in this world Ryana lives in. Commoners seem to have no rights and are subjected to the whims of the Nobles who can brutally punish or kill as they wish.  However harsh the present government is, life under the cults would be much more horrible.  In the process of stopping the war, Ryana finds peace and redemption working with her Shadow Sisters who admire her,not hate as she had thought.  If you liked the first book of the Shadow Sisters you will enjoy this second adventure very much.  Also, this book is suitable for all ages.
