Ian Laverman is an educational developer who, in his spare time, dreams up magical realms, unusual forms of magic and grand adventures. These imaginings gave rise to A sorcerer’s legacy, a fantasy series that now spans two trilogies and a seventh book. This most recent volume has now been translated into English under the title Shadows Cast by Magic. As someone with dyslexia, Ian hopes to inspire others to tell their stories too, no matter the challenges.

Shadows cast by magic by Ian Laverman
"Somehow, I didn't notice that this was three novellas in one book. That's on me. I only read the first story and part of the second story as I only agree to read one story per author, and my list is quite lengthy.

The concept is cool. --5 stars
