I’ve worked with authors Jason Russell and A.S. Charly before, but as an author submitting stories to a publisher, namely Starry Eyed Press. I’ve also read and reviewed books they have previously written. Since I believe one good turn deserves another (and I hope they’ll review some of the stuff I didn’t write for them), I decided to buy and review their latest offering In Shadow Spawned: The Shattered Throne Sequence Book One
It’s available from Amazon in Hardcover, paperback, and Kindle formats. I chose the latter for affordability and instant access.
NOTE: There are some spoilers in my review so keep that in mind before continuing.
The story takes place in the mythical realm of Delandaar, an ancient time of Kings and Empires which also includes wielders of something called Glyphs. These are conceptual objects that existed before the first human languages and adepts can learn to manipulate the power of their meaning.
The novel opens with one such practitioner, Daks, in pursuit of someone or something that has attempted to assassinate his King. He fails to catch it, but whatever force committed the deed is not an isolated occurrence. Other mysterious and terrible events have been happening across the countryside. Those activities spur not only Daks, but a number of other people and groups into the adventures we see in this novel.
