_________

No one who knew him would accuse Christian Richardson of being the sort of person who took the easy road.

Stranded in the Moorlands in fifteenth century England, Christian must come to terms with the aftermath of his quest for vengeance. Embracing the gifts passed on by his father has put everyone he cares for in danger, and any hesitation to face the road before him could cost someone he loves their life. In no position to be choosy, he finds himself working with a secretive new ally who is more than what they seem. First, they must locate Christian’s brother, Jeffrey, and from there everyone’s safety will depend on getting the scroll his father had left them as far away as possible.

Between them and their goal is a sect of magicians with a vast network of spies bent on claiming ownership of the scroll. Some are vicious creatures that make even Christian’s assassin blood run cold, and leave him with no doubt that the Luminaries are both patient and deadly when it comes to dealing with their enemies.

Learning the reality of his father’s past shatters the idolized memories Christian kept tucked in his heart, and forces him to contemplate a soul-deep sense of betrayal. His desire for vengeance is replaced with a urgent need to protect the things that had mattered to him, even if that means confronting the shattered remnants of the life he left behind. Feeling as though there is always some secret waiting around the corner, he struggles to offer words of comfort while wishing he could receive some of his own. In the wake of such life-changing revelations, only two things ring true.

He loves Paolo with everything his has.

Life would never be the same.

Connor Peterson has always found an escape in books. In elementary school, reading kept him out of trouble when he finished his classwork. In high school, he bargained with teachers not to confiscate his notebooks that ended up full of story prompts and character ideas. Now, he has a crippling coffee addiction and an obscene ability to recall song lyrics. Also, he writes books.

A fan of horror novels, superheroes, and video games, Connor writes urban fantasy with heavy romance tones. His stories are always lgbtq, usually steamy, and often poly. Bonus points for making it historical.

You can follow him on Twitter (@AuthorConnorP) and Facebook (@AuthorConnorP), where he actively avoids being on time for any of his deadlines.

5.0 out of 5 stars A sequel as good as if not better than the original

Once again Peter Dawes has written a fabulous novel that sucked me right back into Christisn's world from the first page. This sequel is as good if not better than the original Deathspell. That's not an easy feat. The characters are compelling, setting intriguing and plot rich with nuances. It's unlike anything else I've ever read. History buffs, romance lovers, mystery fans and magic seekers will all find something just right for them in Shadowcast. Be prepared to possibly miss your stop on the train or lose a few hours of sleep as you fall deeper and deeper into this world. I can't wait to meet up with Christian, Paolo and Lucie again. At one point I was reminded of Antigone and the difficult choice between moral rights and legal rights. It made me love the book even more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Christian RIDES AGAIN! kinda.
Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2017
A surprising sequel full of more twists and turns than its predecessor. A desperate journey continues for the heroes of the previous novel, and while there was just a brush with the main villain before, now he lurks even more predominantly like a fist closing around the good guys. Very exciting, I was sucked in sufficiently at my work break that I almost fell out of a chair when someone tried to pull me back to reality. Good stuff!
