A woman guard learns that the government is not her friend in this young adult dystopian thriller from the author of The Final Olympics.

Scarlett would never kill her best friend, perhaps a Citizen if the situation called for it, but never Rhys. There are quite a few rules in the training center, but a few are the kind that are never broken.

- Greens are not sent into Cities without officially being promoted to Blue. - Blues don't kill each other.

So why is Scarlett being sent into a City without the proper training? And why does a bizarre, elderly male say Scarlett will kill Rhys? In the Shadow of the Cities details Scarlett's life in the training center before she is pulled unexpectedly into City life. Without the proper training, she is confused about these things called "families" and why the Citizens aren't grateful that she is keeping them safe.

In this dystopian novel, In the Shadow of the Cities, the story is told not from a Citizen's point of view but from a Guard's. Why do the guards seem to tirelessly obey the government? How can they gun down Citizens mercilessly? Find out as you follow Scarlett on her journey into the Cities.
