When Rivia is devastated by hordes of undead invaders, young Prince Alarik must embark on a quest to reclaim his kingdom from dark and terrible forces.
He stands behind a granite wall sixty feet high, thoroughly taught and trained in the art of warfare. Still, nothing could have prepared Prince Alarik, the firstborn son of King Humbert, for this moment. Hordes of undead Shadow Stalkers have swept south from Kerg’s northern border slaughtering everyone in sight. Behind the chaos: an ancient sorcerer who seeks to avenge wrongs against his ancestors with a terrifying assortment of magic.
Now, with the castle under siege by these dark supernatural creatures, Prince Alarik is ordered by the king to flee the city with a small band of guards. Armed with some new information about the mother he never knew, and the discovery that he’s inherited a rare magical path, he embarks on a desperate quest. Prince Alarik realizes that one more sword can’t stem the black tide that has arisen. To have any hope of avenging the fallen and reclaiming his kingdom, he must unlock the mage potential that lies dormant inside him.
In the thrilling debut of the Shadow Slayer series, you’ll traverse a magical landscape in an epic, death-defying quest, where no character is safe from the grip of fate.
I absolutely loved this book, and will definitely continue to look for the rest of the series anywhere that I can find them. Very well written, and so in depth to the point where you feel as if you are Alarik, the main character of the book. This is now in my top three favorite books that I have ever read!
Great book. Alarik and his army go on a journey to avenged the death of Alarik's father. They face bloody battles with the undead, the Blood Druids, and many other powerful enemies. The suspense builds throughout the book with a great ending. I highly recommend this book. It is a page turner!
LOVED this book! Amazing characters and story lines! As soon as I finished reading it, I was ready to continue with reading the next book! Can't wait for it to come out. I am anxious to see how the characters' lives all weave together!
I really enjoyed Shadow Storm and look forward to the next book in the series. The way the author incorporated magic into this fantasy world was excellent.
