Bound to the Abyss #4
Shadows of Home
An old enemy never forgets . . .
The last person Ean Sangrave expects to see on his return home from the Deadlands is the magician, Sadiek Nidot. Two years ago he killed Ean and stripped the lovely Azalea of her wings. Upon seeing his murderer, Ean can’t decide if he fears using his own dark power more than he thirsts for revenge. The brief moment of indecision allows the crafty Sadiek to slip through Ean's fingers, but not before he gleefully reveals that Rottwealth, Ean's hometown, is in danger.
Ean speeds to the land of his birth and rebirth on a mission to save it. All the while, he’s being pursued by bounty hunters and religious zealots sent by temple leaders who see him as a threat to the common good. Upon arriving at the land of his birth, despite all he has accomplished during his travels, he learns some things never change. The villagers who treated him so badly as a boy still don’t respect him. Complicating matters further, Sadiek’s evil influence has reached the hearts and minds of the people, hardening them against him. As Ean's frustration with them mounts, the darkness within himself grows stronger. Will he continue to defend the people or become their greatest enemy as everyone fears?

About the author
James R. Vernon
9 books153 followersJames R. Vernon was born and lives on the planet Earth. He holds a degree in teaching mathematics in junior and high schools, which has zero influence on his writing. Instead he has spent as much time as possible, from a time when he could handle somewhat complicated words, reading and enjoying fantasy novels.
Often stuck in long commutes for his job, James's imagination was free to create new worlds and stories. Through the assistance of family, friends, and some generous backers, James has been able to pursue his dream of sharing his stories with more then just the characters he has created.
When not writing, he can usually be found with those he holds most dear, teaching those that put more white in his hair every year, losing money playing poker, losing time in a good book or song, or completely lost in his own mind.
Oh, and obviously he tries to enjoy life as much as he can.

Well written and worth the read
This story continues the to be a well thought out tale. The characters continue to develop and grow, while the main character has to deal with multiple problems without being overpowered. The politics between men and between god factions keeps the story interesting, as does the ominous hints at what is to come. Can’t wait for the next release!

Good book
Nice addition to an already good series. Really feels like Ean has grown can't wait to see where the story goes next.
