Here Casts No Shadow explores the impact of war, exile and trauma on a
family and the consequences of a single act of revenge. This is a
story of war and refuge, told from a woman's perspective. Fifteen year
old Mira lives a quiet life in the small town of Zazour.
Her
country of Lyrian is under the grip of a ruthless dictator but the
political situation has little impact on Mira's daily life until she
witnesses her brother's friend, Tam, shot dead in the street. Mira has
never had a romantic relationship with Tam but she has always loved him
from afar. As war intensifies and the dictator's grip hardens, Zazour
is bombed and friends disappear.
Mira enlists the help of her
brother, Kaz, in a terrible act of vengeance for Tam's death. Shortly
after, the family is forced to flee, surviving hardship and camp life
before finally settling in the safety of Neeland, thousands of miles
from home. But will Mira's past now catch up with her and threaten to
destroy the life she has built for herself?
