Thanks to Second Sky Books for my invite to the tour and my gifted ebook to write my honest review.
They say Locan A’Shadow is the greatest assassin who ever lived.
They say he faced down dragons and the armies of an undead king.
And every word of it is true.
Locan was once the deadliest man in the Dominion. Now he’s a nobody—a stranger living quietly at the edge of the world. And that’s just how he likes it.
But when bandits raid his home in the night, killing and burning, Locan is forced to reveal his skill with a blade.
A vicious enemy ordered the attack—someone Locan thought he killed years ago. But the vampire Solis Deadhand is alive. And far to the north he is building an empire of blood and magic.
Locan is no hero. He always laughed at the stories people told about his adventures. But there are evils he cannot ignore. And grudges that can never be forgotten.
He marches into the wilderness, through haunted forests and snow-capped mountains, with an idealistic young noble and a beautiful elf sorcerer by his side.
As they draw ever closer to the vampire’s realm, Locan must step out of the shadows. He might not be a hero. But to save his world from centuries of darkness, he must become a legend.
This is a brand new fantasy series, and I just had to read it. I have read previous books by this author and know they write immersive tales. I just hoped that this new series would be as good.
The Assassin’s Shadow is a thrilling and solid start to the Legends of the Shadow series. The world building snatched me away from real life, and I was sucked right into Locan’s world. This is exactly what reading is for, in my opinion. To escape the stresses and strains of my everyday life. R.S. Moule has the ability to do exactly this.
The characters grabbed my attention, and their journey is packed full of tension, excitement, and moments of holding my breath! The character development is so clear, and the foundations are firmly in place for the next book to build upon.
I didn’t want this book to end. In one breath, I was turning the pages so quick, and in the other, I prayed I didn’t reach the conclusion too quickly. As always with R.S Moule, I can’t wait to see what is in store for the characters next.
