Publisher Description

An army is gathering; thousands of giants, ogres, and other creatures are joining forces from all across the Desolate Lands, united, for the first time in history, under one, black banner. By the spring, or perhaps sooner, the Nameless One and his forces will be at the walls of the great city of Avendoom.

Unless Shadow Harold, master thief, can find some way to stop them.

Epic fantasy at its best, Shadow Prowler is the first in a trilogy that follows Shadow Harold, the legendary thief of Siala, on his quest for a magic Horn that will restore peace to the Kingdom of Siala. Harold will be accompanied on his quest by an elfin princess, Miralissa, her elfin escort and ten Wild Hearts, the most experienced and dangerous fighters in their world...and by the king's court jester (who may be more than he seems...or less).

"I really enjoyed this story and can't wait for the 2nd book. It does have some editing issues with the translation. More care should have been taken to catch those items that make it confusing and choppy at times. Once you learn to read past those little quirks the book flows really well."

    " A good, well-written, funny fantasy tale from the take of the thief. Has a bit of the noir take to it which is a nice touch. "

    " It was a great book and I found myself reading it during lectures at school. Sorry Mrs. Geaman but Alexey was a little more interesting then you. I really hope he follows through with the rest of the series, I'd be disappointed to not hear the rest of Harold's quest. "

    " This book is like a spaggethi bolongese , you have eaten it a hundred times before, but it is filling and with excellent cooking skill it is a feast. The book is true and pure fantasy vanilla. It uses some slightly differen shades on standard tropes and archetypes, but do not actually add anything to the genre. Instead it rests comfortably on on the standrards and the thing that saves it from blending into the faceless soup of fan writing is the prose. Even if the translation certainly has killed the most if it, the poetic expressions and philosofical expressions of the russian language is present. The author manage to write a enjoyable book in first person view, not a small achievment and as long as you do not mind High Fantasy and/or Sword and Sorcery I think you will enjoy it. It is reading Fritz Leiber with a slight seasoning of War and Peace and in the direction of Scott Lynch... "

    " A completely pedestrian fantasy novel with very little to offer besides more Tolkienesque tropes, and a very annoying style of introducing setting information through the first-person narrative. Not much to write about. "

    " Een onderhoudend boek. Minpuntje: de infodumps in het begin van het verhaal. Gelukkig zijn die er later niet echt meer. Wel jammer is dat het boek middenin het verhaal eindigt. Het is eigenlijk geen einde. Dus nu begint het wachten op deel 2. "
