The final instalment in the Damnation Day quartet finds Angelus once more embroiled in events, as events gain pace causing him to reassess his life. As he finds answers to some of the questions he has asked over the years about the course his life has taken, he is reminded of the old saying "be careful what you wish for" as the answers he receives rock his world once more. Shadow and Light was written by way of a window into a past Angelus would rather forget, although perhaps not quite the "truth, the whole truth and nothing but...." that Angelus might pretend it was, and Dante"s early years concluding with his reunion with Angelus, bringing the story full-circle.
