In this third book of the After the Last Day saga, the fascists, weakened by the military and natural consequences from their attempt to destroy Huron Territory, are finally subdued.
Nature's fortune benefits the people of Huron, and in, The End of Shadows, they enter the future taking advantage of an uneasy peace to overcome the lingering but fading emotional and physical shadows of the lives they had been living before the last day of industrial society.
Nature again reminds them to be humble, but adversity strengthens them to face bravely the uncertain future. This is somewhat the personal journey of the travelling scribe, Brandi Shadly where a world striving for political, economic and emotional security forms a backdrop of constant struggle.
