ShadowBane

LoveReading Says

Available on Amazon. 

Shura and Jin are twins, the last of the Shikōken bloodline and specially equipped to destroy the demons that terrorise the kingdoms. We are thrown straight into such a battle which skillfully introduces the abilities of our main characters as well as establishing some of the world building and the evils they face.

This is a storyline that is rich with folklore, and a world that is inspired by Eastern Aisian culture. The dynamic between the twins is compelling - Shura wanting to restore her family’s name and position and Jin’s disregard for cultural niceties, sense of duty and hope that he’ll have the chance to leave it all behind after his work is done.

The dichotomy between the two had me wondering what would happen in the end and hoping that somehow both would get their wish. The prophecies that arise in the storyline create a sense of urgency and a sense of tension as you wait to see what exactly will come to pass. 

ShadowBane is a deeply immersive story that had me hooked from the beginning and I think that it will really appeal to other fantasy readers. It is clear the amount of research and planning that has been put into this book in order to create such a detailed authentic feeling world and characters. There’s action, twists and turns in the plot that I didn’t see happening and that made my jaw hit the floor. Highly recommended.
