From the Dust Jacket: "It is March of 1945: the war in Europe is nearly over, and with its end the end of another desperate lost cause. General Vlasov, a Red General... defected with a division of Red soldiers to the Germans. It was his object to occupy a sector of the front with the logistic support of the Nazis command, and invite the Russian Army to rally under his leadership in turning on the Soviet oppressors. His mission was doomed to defeat, but... the reader can feel the spark of hope that lived with the army until it was finally crushed in the ever narrowing corridor between the Soviet Army crashing westward, and the Allies rolling east."

"Spacenapped when she stumbled on a kidnapping in progress, Shadith - captive for centuries in the alien artifact known as the Diadem, now once again living in human form - finds herself the prisoner of Ginbiryol Seyirshi, a being who has instigated devastating wars on world after world purely to film and sell Limited Editions of the resulting violence, destruction, and death. Along with two fellow humanoid prisoners, Shadith has been chosen to play a key role in Seyirshi's newest 'production', serving as a demigod around whom the rebel forces will rally only to face a terrible doom. But prisoner though she is, Shadith has some unique resources of her own, and with these Diadem-mastered powers, she will do all she can to rewrite his script so that the people of this troubled planet, as well as she and her fellow captives, can win their freedom and put an end to Seyirshi's interstellar reign of terror." 2.

Shadith and her companions are "free from Seyirishi's control, and they have sworn to track down the monster and put an end to his evil works. But he has made many enemies in his long career and has long ago learned how to protect himself from those in search of vengeance. To stop the world-wrecker, Shadith must first find him. And now she and her comrades have found the perfect bait, Wargun, one of his devoted 'customers'. But before they could carry out their real mission, they have to capture Wargun. And even with Shadith's unique talents, this first challenge will prove almost as impossible as catching Seyirishi himself." 3. Shadowkill - 362 pp, 1991 1st printing, ISBN 0886774675. "Mindwiping or death would be the fate in store for Shadith if she could not find a way to escape the Institute ship and captors who had put a sudden stop to her own plans to end to Seyirshi. But though she was truly on her own - her partner Kikun having evaded the trap into which she had fallen - Shadith was not without her resources. So she created a controlled, temporary mindwipe, hiding her identity so thoroughly that even she herself no longer knew who she was. Only a direct meeting with Kikun would serve as a cue to reawaken her memories. Seyirshi too had become a prisoner of the Institute. What the agents of the Institute could not foresee was that by their actions they were about to make sworn enemies into temporary allies in a battle that would not end until Shadith, Kikun and Seyirshi were all dead, or the Institute was overthrown."
