The Lady has spoken to me.
It has already begun.
Shadows move out of the shrinking desert, south to the rich and arrogant cities of Sembia.
“Be brave, little man,” says the shadowman, and the boy thinks his voice is surprisingly soft. “Stay with your mother. This will be over soon.”
The shadows swallow him and he is gone.
On the edge of a war that will change the face of Faerûn, the world will find that not all shadows serve Shade.

I have nothing but the highest praises for Paul Kemp and his work. The latest installation, Shadowbred, continues his stellar work and is a must read for any Forgotten Realms, nay, any fantasy fan.

If you know who Erevis Cale is you don't need to read this review. You already know what Paul Kemp's take on the Forgotten Realms is all about and either own Shadowbred or will own it as soon as you lay hands on it. Feel free to go back to shopping Amazon.com
If you don't know who Erevis Cale is buy Shadowbred. He's the protagonist. The Twilight War is a fantasy epic centered on Cale's attempt to transform himself from anti-hero into hero... and along the way it touches on man's struggle with himself, man's struggle with (his) God and man's struggle with other men. In this case said other man is an immortal magic user and High Priest of a nihilistic goddess of secrets and betrayal.
If you turn your nose up at shared world fiction read Shadowbred, it will change your mind
If you enjoy a good yarn about people who struggle to do the right thing in spite of their belief that they themselves are not good, read Shadowbred.
If you love the Forgotten Realms but have never read one of the novels, read Shadowbred.
