'Deception: ‘The act of using trickery to mislead by deliberate misrepresentation or lies.’

'When Lili has just about given up hope of ever seeing Sam again, unexpected events turn her world upside down, and she finds herself headed back to Australia. But years have gone by—will Sam even want to see her again?

'And what’s with this new addition to their group? How can a strange woman, who claims to be a dhampira from Spain, arrive unannounced and be accepted so readily? Has jealousy blurred Lili’s vision, or is she the only one that can see clearly?

'In this final instalment of The Absent Shadows Trilogy, Lili must fight for the life she feels she is destined to live, and for those she calls family, even when a new evil threatens to destroy their world. '
