Ananka meets Kiki Strike who changes her life forever. Kiki and Ananka form the Irregulars from Girl Scouts who have talents beyond winning merit badges. After they find the Shadow City and begin to explore, they run across far more than they bargained for and begin to question whether Kiki is a good guy or just someone who used them to further her own criminal agenda. As the story progresses, and the girls grow older, new clues begin to emerge about Kiki Stike and the world of Shadow City. A very interesting story with several twists and turns as well as a great lead in to the next book in the series, The Empress's Tomb.
