About the Book

In this trhilling epic, Prince Trigarius must race against time to stop a disaster of his own making. When a mysterious seal is accidentally broken, an unstoppable force from another dimension is unleashed. Part phantom, the creature passes through solid objects. Part virus, it multiplies when it feeds. As Trigarius learns about the Netherspawn's origins, he soon realizes that he has stumbled upon an ancient war that spans thousands of years. Can the prince stop the shadows in time, or will the world of Sheradan be lost forever?

"? Shadows over Sheradan ? is a delicately crafted fresco of words, colours, emotions and adventures. The author?s refined pen carries us step by step to a final tableau in which every single detail unveiled throughout the book takes on a dimension transcending genre, bringing forth a very seductive world that clings on to our own imagination long after the last page has been turned. The characters and their relationships are described with great finesse, striking a cord deep within the reader?s soul. The adventures are true to Fantasy, the setting drawn from a vision unusually rich and coherent . Beyond the story line, the author subtly depicts through his intricate weaving of images, messages of hope, lessons in loyalty, the value of true friendship and the sometimes difficult sacrifices one must make as a result of one?s decisions and actions.

I began reading ? Shadows over Sheradan ? anticipating the author would tell me a great story?.and that he did! The last hundred and fifty pages captivated my imagination beyond expectation. Whilst I eagerly await for the second book I find myself pondering upon the possible tangent of the intrigues and its characters who are now also part of my own imaginary world.

? Shadows over Sheradan ? is not only for aficionados of Fantasy Literature but also for those in quest of a story that reclaims human goodness through passionate action and characters. And to others, who like myself, thrive on the musical flow of cleverly chosen words and intelligent stories, this one is for you.

"I am going to begin this book review with an admission. I am not well-versed in the genre of fantasy/adventure. I do, however, have a great appreciation for strong characters and compelling storylines, and can get wrapped up in a novel regarding of its literary category if I enjoy the writing. I share all of this because I hope it makes my thoughts on Shadows over Sheradan, the new release by Scott Barker, more meaningful to other readers who, like me, do not bring an extensive home library of fantasy books into consideration when determining their next book selection. Barker has crafted an epic, three-part novel that led me to develop emotional investment in the outcome and have one of those experiences in which you tell yourself ?just one more chapter? before finally compelling yourself to bed.

Shadows over Sheradan tells the story of Prince Trigarius? pursuit of the dark Izzasha the Betrayer through the moons and rings surrounding the planet Zalaghorn, physical landscapes that all are described with rich effect by Barker. Trigarius is joined on his journey by a crew of loyal and talented individuals who hold their leader in the highest regard, along with one reluctant passenger whose mysterious presence and powers lend some great layers to the plot. As Prince Trigarius? charge is revealed in more detail and readers follow him on his quest, the pages bring forth the joining of forces with another crew through tragic circumstance, battle scenes that will make your heart race, moments of romance both new and rekindled, and, undergirding it all, a testament to the importance and power of true friendship.

Being a three-part novel of around 500 pages and already admitting to my own lack of fantasy reading experience, I readily share that Barker does his own masterful job of revealing the story and readers will be doing themselves a greater service by allowing the author to draw them in with his talent rather than settl
