Shadow Mage, Blacklight Chronicles Book 3


Buy on Amazon
Introducing the third book in the Blacklight Chronicles fantasy series, SHADOW MAGE! The book is available right now on Amazon Kindle. 

Here is a short overview of the book:

Talis glimpses an alien world where Rikar, his old friend and traitor, is being tortured. He is tempted down a dark path leading to the forbidden knowledge of Shadow Magic, the magic he needs to keep from going insane.

The feud between the royal houses of Naru has Talis and Mara caught in the middle, and once again threatens their friendship. And the magical Order of the Dawn distances themselves from Talis, pushing him aside to study the discarded magical art of runes. With civil war looming, Jiserian sorcerers again invade the city of Naru, and Talis must rise to help protect their city.

A mysterious sorcerer from the Tarasen Islands arrives, with eyes on the black crystal, aiming to create a World Portal to the planet where Aurellia and his Elders have escaped. Talis finds his heart wrenched between saving his city and saving the one closest to his heart. Even after being trapped on an alien world, with no way back home, Talis realizes that his friendship with Mara and Nikulo is the key to their fate and survival.

    1. I ate this series up in a matter of days....then I tried to determine the release of book 4 only to see it was released not long ago. Its just hard to not know what will happen and having to wait! But I will follow you and wait patiently.

  7. John, you have an amazing talent for story telling! The Blacklight Chronicles has completely pulled me into it's universe. I especially enjoyed your philosophy of magic. And on how it grows more and more. It reminds me of how Raymond Fiest wove his tale in the Riftwar Saga. I look forward to more stories from you. Keep up the flow and stay the path my friend!
