Shadowmancer

By G.P. Taylor

Book Overview

Vicar Obadiah Demurral isn't satisfied running the affairs of his village -- foolishly he wants to control the world. And if his plan works, he will obtain a weapon so powerful that all of creation will fall down at his feet. Demurral will stop at nothing -- even commanding restless souls to do his bidding. Who will stand against him? Raphah, a young man on a godly mission, has come a long distance to reclaim the ancient relic Demurral has stolen -- dangerously volatile in the wrong hands -- but he can't do it alone. Even younger are Thomas and Kate, accidentally drawn into this ongoing war between good and evil. Their struggle against Demurral brings them face-to-face with the powers of darkness in this unforgettable epic battle. G. P. Taylor's first novel takes readers on a breathtaking voyage, full of suspense and intrigue, where fallen angels and demonic forces come in the night and where the ultimate sacrifice might even be life itself.

Customer Reviews

NO, THIS IS NOT HP OR LOTR!

I have been reading fantasy for 30 years. I try to read all varieties and never compare one to another. This book is probably one of the best. It is an easy read and I found it hard to put down. It seems like everyone is looking for the next big thing. If you are not one of these people you should like this book.

Wonderful book for teens and adults alike!

My daughter, son and I loved this book. It is a fantasy, action story with a good message. We borrowed this book from a friend and then went out to purchase it in hard cover. We can't wait to read other books by G.P. Taylor.

Awesome fantasy novel with a Christian view

What G.P. Taylor has written is a novel that my 13 year old son and I both agree is exciting, scary and thought provoking. The deeper your knowledge of religious history, Christianity and/or evil, the more believable this novel is. I like to read what both my youngest sons are reading so that I can put things in the proper perspective, and use the books as a teaching tool. From the reviews I've read, I plan to read all the rest of the books Taylor has written. P.S. We also liked Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings, The Chronicles of Narnia, Eragon and Eldest.

G. P. Taylor is a wonderful author

G.P. Taylor, as I said in my review of Wormwood, is a very good writer. His two books that I have read (and own), Shadowmancer and Wormwood, are great page-turners. I love G.P. Taylor's writing!

Great Book!

My teens and pre-teens loved this book. They loved the story and the fantasy themes of this book. My kids could not put this book down. As a Christian parent I loved that this was a nonwitch craft alternative to the popular Harry Potter series. This book is a wholesome book that is not campy and full of adventure.
