''Burying the Shadow'' is novel by [[
But now the eloim are falling victim to an illness called [[Enemy Within|the Fear]], which is leading them to commit suicide. Gimel and her brother Beth go seeking a soulscaper to heal their people, but all their attempts with adults fail. They decide then that they need to find a child, which leads them to Rayojini.

=== ''Burying the Shadow'' provides examples of the following tropes: ===
* [[A
* [[Achilles in His Tent]]: Sammael spends centuries alone in a tower because [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here|he gets fed up]] with the eloim and their ideas of how to live on Earth.
* [[Archangel Michael]]: Mikha'il.
Line 29:
* [[Creepy Child]]: Salyon Tricante
* [[Creepy Twins]]: Perdina and Voile Tricante always struck Rayojini as being more than a little odd as all they seem to do is [[Incest Subtext|stay in their room]] and read strange poetry. Creepiness factor upped by them being [[Old Maid|women in their mid-twenties]].

* [[Ironic Nursery Tune]]: "The pale lady rises, the pale lady falls. Up again, up again, smelling out souls."
* [[Journey to
* [[Lady in Red]]: Hadith Sarim, the first time Rayojini meets her. Incidentally, Rayo is also wearing red at the time, but this mostly serves to highlight the differences between them as sexually experienced woman and virgin.
* [[Like a Son to Me]]: Gimel starts thinking of Rayojini as her own daughter.
