Shadows Bloom

Tales of the Even

by T.A. Moore

Between the real and the unreal, the created and uncreated lies the capstone of the universe: the living city, Even Na Shetiyah. Eternally in flux and the only door between What-was-Not and What-Was, Even City is many things to the creatures who dwell within its wall: home, stopover, prison. For Blodouwedd, a woman created from flowers by the sorcerer-god Math, it is a sanctuary, a place to escape the punishment meted out for her role in - temporarily - murdering her husband, a hero of Welsh legend. She wants no part in the Even's numerous feuds and power struggles but when an unknown enemy begins to undo the very magic holding Blodouwedd together, she is forced to enter the fray before all that is left of her are the petals Math used to create her. Blodouwedd has no shortage of enemies. Her powerful in-laws whose honour she affronted? The god who created her only for her to defy him? Set upon a dangerous and treacherous path through the Even's chaotic society, Blodouwedd turns to the only one she knows she can trust; Lleu Llaw Gyffes, the husband she killed. Shadows Bloom is a stand-alone novel in T.A. Moore's Tales of the Even.

About the author

TA Moore is a Northern Irish writer of romantic suspense, urban fantasy, and contemporary romance novels. A childhood in a rural, seaside town fostered in her a suspicious nature, a love of mystery, and a streak of black humour a mile wide. As her grandmother always said, ‘she’d laugh at a bad thing that one’, mind you, that was the pot calling the kettle black. TA Moore studied History, Irish mythology, English at University, mostly because she has always loved a good story. She has worked as a journalist, a finance manager, and in the arts sectors before she finally gave in to a lifelong desire to write.

Coffee, Doc Marten boots, and good friends are the essential things in life. Spiders, mayo, and heels are to be avoided.

Reviews

[Rhys Ford · Rating 5 out of 5]

T.A. Moore is a an author that I stand in awe of. When Three Crow Press had the chance to present her works, it was an easy decision to make. A RESOUNDING yes resonated through the internet. I am sure of it.

Moore's ability to weave a lyrical and vibrant story is only matched by her ability to spin out incredible worlds and in Shadows Bloom, she does not disappoint. This tale is steeped in a rich, lush language that picks the reader up and flings them into The Even. The story is complex but so very approachable.

There is no love match greater than T.A. Moore and the written word.
