The Ravenglass Fragment II: When Shadows Walk

by Anthony Pryor

It is a thousand years since the events in "The Dream of the Rood" and the mysterious Ravenglass Fragment is going on display at the Portland Art Museum. The ancient Norse warrior Arngrim warns his friend, demon hunter Alex St. John that the fragment is a potential source of limitless power and evil magic, but when Alex and his friends visit the museum to investigate they are confronted by a hostile sorcerer who summons living shadows to seize both the fragment and archaeologist Dr. Naomi Johar, the fragment's discoverer. Now Alex and his friends are in a race against time, desperate to learn the secrets of the Ravenglass Fragment and to rescue Dr. Johar from her kidnappers -- whoever or whatever they are.

About the author

I started writing in the iron age of roleplaying games, back in about 1986, writing material for FASA's Battletech before moving on to other products like Shadowrun, Bard Games' Talislanta, and TSR's second edition of Dungeons and Dragons. More recently I've done product development for White Wolf/Sword and Sorcery Studios' Scarred Lands setting and for Frog God Games. My new supernatural thriller trilogy The Shepherd is coming soon from Permuted Press, and is available for pre-order through Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Google Play and Simon and Schuster. I look forward to hearing from readers here and on my blog, so feel free to drop me a line if you're so inclined!

[Dawn · Rating 4 out of 5]

I didn't enjoy this as much as the first book in the series - there seems to be less story to this one... maybe because it's set in the present whereas the first one (set in the past) needed more description.
It's still a worthwhile read though as it's entertaining and fast-paced.
