Shadow’s Fall

shadowstalker book 3

Rose Trewin went in search of a ruin and found a clan instead; people she didn't know were alive. As the newly appointed Chief of the magical Shademaker Clan, Rose must learn what it means to lead while still trying to control her magic. She soon discovers the powerful mage, Gerik, has escaped capture by the king. Gerik is intent on destroying everything Rose loves and the family she’s found. She must travel to the strange southern land to hunt him. To kill him. To be an assassin once again. 

King Micah Ellsworth’s country is at a tipping point. He returned from the south after fighting the trespassers that attacked his people and he expected a hero’s welcome. He finds, instead, a rising religious group is dividing his people and fighting against those with magic. King Micah is without a queen and with his country facing a famine in the spring and hate in the streets, he must fight to stop the brewing unrest.

Rose and the king both must sacrifice to save their people.

They just don’t realize how much they have to lose.

What people are saying…

Natalie Johanson’s third installment in the series is so exciting. Although it is part of a series, it stands alone well. I got great recaps of past events at the right moments to help me understand what happened before and how it ties to the present events occurring. I was able to create very vivid pictures in my mind of the action with all the clear descriptions from the aftermath of the war at the beginning to the forest of the Shademaker Clan where there is a magical shadow shroud to keep them hidden. I loved getting to know the names of the Shadows as they appeared. The battle against Gerik was intense. I am intrigued by learning more about the connection between Rose and King Micah and rooting for them. I can’t wait for the next book to be released, so I can get more answers about the new enemies that have appeared.
