In Shadow Spawned: The Shattered Throne Sequence Book One by Jason Russell & A.S. Charly
The period of peace long enjoyed by the realm of Delandaar is nearly at an end. A mysterious assassin works its way into Silverpeak’s castle, setting into motion a perilous quest to the Vale – a sanctuary run by the
elusive Masters of the Glyphs.
On the far side of the world, an apothecary’s apprentice sets off seeking knowledge on the rising shadows plaguing her village. Spurred by dreams of a Shattered Throne, her path takes her to Lakeside, where an ancient evil is roused from slumber.
Fates collide as delicate balances topple and the true source of power reaches from beyond the borders of any known kingdom.
