Shadowblack : Book Two in the page-turning new fantasy series - Thryft

Wild west magic meets dark magic danger.

Shadowblack could be a great book for anyone who likes fantasy books with a unique twist. It has a wild west flavour that blends well with its humorous and magical plot. The main character, Kellen, is an outlaw mage who is thrust into a conspiracy of magic, blackmail, and murder. The tension and power struggles are perfectly balanced with humour, creating a fun yet suspenseful read.

Description

SORCERY IS A SCAM . . .

Four months after fleeing his own people, Kellen has discovered he's an even worse outlaw than he was mage. It doesn't help that his only allies are a swaggering card player and a thieving squirrel cat.

Then he meets Seneira, a blindfolded girl who isn't blind, and whose secrets get them caught up in a conspiracy of magic, blackmail and murder. Now Kellen must find the mage responsible before the entire frontier falls victim to the mystical plague known as the shadowblack.

Perfect for fans of The Dark Tower, Firefly, Guardians of the Galaxy, Terry Pratchett, Ben Aaronovitch and Jim Butcher.
