Synopsis

After five years of ceaseless fighting, the Attrition War continues to divide and ravage the galaxy. Having spent two years in forced exile, all Naytan desired was to assist in the liberation of his violently occupied home-world. But when a coded transmission begins to issue across the vacuum of space, unexpectedly threatening to turn the tide of battle, the very survival of his people is called into question. Faced with seemingly insurmountable odds, Naytan must now travel to the code¿s source and discover the truth before all is lost. With time quickly running out, he soon discovers that it is not just the fate of his own home-world that hangs in the balance, but that of the entire galaxy as well. For within the darkest reaches of space, a long hidden nation stirs restlessly, preparing to join the conflict ¿ a nation comprised of terrifying supernatural warriors. Utilizing all the classic elements of contemporary space-fantasy (intergalactic space travel, alien races, future weapons) and combining them with the best of traditional fantasy literature (kings and queens, elves and dwarves, perilous quests and of course dragons), The King & The Shadows relates an epic adventure spanning the width and breadth of the galaxy. The sword-wielding, ethereal Velle-Saar (and their arch-nemeses, the Suel-Forge) represent a genuinely interesting twist on the vampire mythos. ¿Kirkus Discoveries
