Shadow Knights #4
Verrat in den Schatten (Die Saga der Schattenritter 4)
Das Vorbestellungsdatum ist ein reiner Platzhalter mit reichlich Zeitreserve für uns, das Buch werden wir veröffentlichen, sobald wir es fertig haben, wie wir es auch schon unsere bisherigen Bücher eher veröffentlicht haben.
Sechzehn Jahre sind vergangen, seit die Schattenritter den Frieden nach Terrenor brachten, und jetzt kämpft eine neue Generation von Kriegern darum, ihn zu erhalten.
Lia hat das Potenzial, die beste Ritterin von allen zu werden. Ihre Schwertkunst und die Beherrschung des Ursprungs übertreffen ihr junges Alter bei weitem. Die Anführer der Schattenritter drängen sie, ihr Potenzial auszuschöpfen, aber ihre rebellische Natur will nicht zuhören. Noch schlimmer ist, dass die hartnäckigen Anführer ihre Eltern sind.
Um sie herauszufordern, geben Lias Eltern ihr eine verantwortungsvolle Position. Zuerst macht sie mit, trainiert andere und leitet Missionen, aber als die Dinge um sie herum aus dem Ruder laufen, stellt sie alles wieder in Frage.
In der Zwischenzeit entdecken die Schattenritter eine neue Bedrohung, mit der sie noch nie zuvor konfrontiert wurden. Eine Gruppe mit Kräften, die weit über die Fähigkeiten der Ritter hinausgehen, will sie auslöschen, und sie sind machtlos, sie aufzuhalten.
Lia kämpft mit der Frage nach ihrer eigenen Bestimmung und fragt sich, ob ihre Eltern sie jemals so akzeptieren werden, wie sie ist. Und sie muss sich entscheiden, ob sie sich selbst oder ihre Schattenritterfamilie retten will.
Mit epischen Kämpfen, komplexen Charakteren und einer fesselnden Handlung beginnt mit ›Verrat in den Schatten‹ die zweite Trilogie der Schattenritter mit einer neuen Generation. Begleite Lia und die Ritter, wenn sie sich im ersten Buch dieser spannenden neuen Geschichte ihrer bisher größten Herausforderung stellen. Ein epischer Fantasyroman für Jugendliche und natürlich auch alle Erwachsenen, die Bücher wie Kinder des Nebels, Eragon, Der Name des Windes oder Die Chroniken von Araluen lieben.

My teen is obsessed with the Shadow Knights Series. She loves fantasy and this one did not disappoint! Book # 4 provides a different perspective of the Shadow Knights than we have read in the previous books - which we enjoyed! The second half was f the book was particularly exciting and of course ended with a cliffhanger! We are already eagerly anticipating book #5!
As a mom, I love that Michael Webb writes stories that multiple generations can enjoy. I’ve had fun reading this with my daughter and spending time talking with her. It’s also so nice to find a fantasy series without gratuitous or necessary sexual content. It’s more difficult than you think so I appreciate the author for being mindful of younger readers yet still being interesting for older ones as well!

What a great return to this fantasy world! The first novels were really good so I was unsure how this one would play out. I think this one somehow improves upon the previous volumes. Even though this is a continuation of the Shadow Knight story line you could still pick it up and enjoy it even if you were starting here with book 4. The writing pulls you into the story and doesn’t disappoint. You really feel like you are there. The only problem is that I couldn’t put it down!

Teenagers are far too often quite the rebellions in real life as they opt to claim respect and the right to exist. in this Lia is no exception. Self interest is part of her character.
However life has some extensive lessons in store for her.
And the handful of Shadow Knights that safeguards the kingdom.
Shadow of Betrayal by author Michael Webb is another book in the Shadow Knights series that draws you into the plot willy nilly and never lets go.
Enjoy

the Characters have matured
At least by the end of the book. Webb shows how a young person can grow and mature as they seek to know themselves and see how others around them shape their character and their lives. All this with extreme action and plot twists. Excellent book for tweens and teens - action, adventure, and life lessons all rolled into one story.

Really good.
I enjoy the story. It is written in an easy to read way that is fun for ages young and old. I will probably be buying the series for my grandson soon. It is perfect for YA to get involved if fantasy. I already have him reading Xanth. This will be a little more mainstream in the genre.

The Series Continues
Webb continues the Shadow Knight series with plot turns and twists. The suspense and the action are unabated, without sacrificing any of the rich characterizations. A worthy read.

Shadow knights series
I love the way Michael builds his characters. They become real to me as a reader. I have nothing negative to say. It's just a great compaling read. I would recommend this series

Shadow of Betrayal
This book seemed to lose its appear along the way. It went on with too many problems along the way! Obviously looking towards future book(s)! Their were many good points but it just went on too long!

Wonderful read! Great continuation of an entertaining tale. I found that the story seemed to move very fast… hard to put down! Left with a cliffhanger!

Another Michael Webb home run. The book was almost impossible to put down, once I started reading. The only bad part, was it ending. I can't wait to read the next one.

Fun read.
Fun reading. Like star wars force but with real swords. Suggest printing maps through story to keep track of where characters are traveling.

This one is in expected!
I hated Verona daughter in the beginning. Selfish brat. But I changed my mind at the end when she redeemed herself!

This was a great start to the next phase in the Shadow Knights story! I was fully captivated on each page and loved the character development. Can’t wait to see what happens moving forward

I always kind of worry about continuations of a series I love.. will it live up to how much I love the original? Will it flop? Well, FEAR NOT about this one! It was absolutely INCREDIBLE! I don't even know which I like more so far, which is great! I wasn't sure exactly what to expect going in, but I love how the main characters from the original trilogy still played a large role in this more. The new characters were very real and varied as well, though. This is such a strong start to what I'm sure will be an outstanding series. I can't wait to see where the next books go!

Michael Webb always comes through with fantastic stories. This one is no different. It is a wonderful continuation of the Shadow Knights story, adding new characters and great plot twists. Just when you think you know who will betray whom, he manages to surprise you. Another great book!
