In a kingdom on the brink of ruin, King Varic has fallen under the sinister control of a shadow being that invades his mind, twisting his thoughts and actions. With the once-great ruler now a puppet, the fate of the kingdom rests in the hands of one man-the kingdom's First Guard, Draven of Wraith More.
The King's Guard is tasked with a perilous mission: to find the legendary Amulet of Protection that holds the power to save the king. But this journey is fraught with danger. Accompanied by a young prince who disguises himself as a peasant to escape the looming threat to his life, Draven must navigate treacherous lands, where every shadow could be the enemy.
Their quest leads them into the heart of a thieves' underworld, where they form an uneasy alliance with Laurail, a skilled rogue from the notorious guild. Together, they must face brutal battles in the deadly slave pits, uncover the secrets of a hidden waterfall cave, and navigate the catacombs of the indiginous filled with deadly traps.
Time is running out, and the darkness within the king grows stronger. As Draven and his companions race to recover the amulet, they must question whom they can trust and whether they can save the kingdom before it falls to shadow. A journey of friendship, betrayal, and survival, "Shadows of Vangail" will keep readers on the edge of their seat until the very last page.
