In the Shadows, Jana Smith’s second book in the Children of Light series, continues Emma’s journey in a fractured post-rapture world. The narrative follows Emma’s inner turmoil and her struggle to reconcile her extraordinary abilities with her faith, her service to God, and her love for Kaiden. She is gifted with White-Light, a rare and powerful force, which is both a blessing and a curse in a world divided by factions and oppressive control.
Emma’s journey becomes more complex as she faces rejection from Kaiden, who questions the worth of her Light, leading her to run away. The story explores themes of trust, betrayal, and divine purpose, as Emma grapples with the fear that her gifts may be used against her. As she seeks guidance from her past and contemplates her role in God’s larger divine plan, Emma faces difficult choices that challenge her faith and desires.
Parallel to Emma’s journey is Grayson's, who is forced to confront his own insecurities and his loyalty to family. Grayson is sent on a mission by his father, Nestor, to locate Emma, though he is unsure of the true purpose behind the task. As tensions rise and the mysteries of the Light unfold, both Emma and Grayson must navigate a path toward their destinies, guided by faith and the hope of redemption.
In the Shadows delves into spiritual warfare, divine calling, and the sacrifice required to fulfill one’s purpose in the end times.
