Footnotes

A typo on page 97 claims that "Meera and Kealan are thrown to the floor", however, Meera is not in that scene, as she's off in another dimension with Shark at that point in the story [Her return is even stated on page 113]. Instead, the page should read "Sharmila and Kealan are thrown to the floor".

The title of the book itself, Death's Shadow, could be a pun; The apostrophe is a possessive one, however, it could be an abbreviation of "is", so in full, it would be "Death is Shadow."
