Return to Shadow: Part I

Teutevar Saga #2.1

by Derek Alan Siddoway

As shadows lengthen and darkness falls across Peldrin, everyone has a score to settle.

Headstrong and impatient, the young, exiled lord, Revan Teutevar, has his heart set on returning to Athelon. Between him and his ruined homeland, however, lies Vhaleons: a city ruled by corruption and greed. Chasing the threads of a dangerous conspiracy, Revan and his friends soon find themselves entrapped in a game of power and deceit. One false move and the lives of the three drifters are forfeit.

Captain Nikoma is a young woman desperate to prove her worth in a man’s world. She’s a loner, an outsider even amongst her fellow Simarru riders no matter how well she swings a sword. But war with the Imperium League is at hand, and with it, the chance to step out of her father’s shadow…if she can stay alive long enough to change her stars.

With war looming, the west has forgotten about Arund. Even so, the one-time Hero of the Republic and would-be high king hasn't been idle. East of the Heimwall, he’s rebuilding his capital and amassing a motley horde to stake his claim in the growing chaos. If he can hold them all together — fierce Jotun, barbaric Periwaneth and treacherous Emorans — the White Knight could very well make good on his vow to rule all of Peldrin.

I found the story interesting and would like to finish reading the whole story when it is published. That being said I also hope that the editing of future books are a lot better then what was present in this book either none or very little. There were just to many errors in the book to give a higher rating then I gave this book. I have read all of this authors books published so far and can not understand why there were so many errors in it. I mean the other books might of have a few errors in them but were not as obvious or as many as this one had.
