Shadowshard

By Michael Riggs

Cypress thought the worst that could happen on her hike with three friends in the forest wilds was an encounter with scragolts, but a human hunting shadow entity?

When three of her friends invite her on a hike in the forest wilds outside of town on their day off from their summer jobs, Cypress is a little more than reluctant. Especially with her loudmouth best friend Cam leading the expedition with obvious intentions for adventure beyond just your average walk in the woods. She is soon convinced by Nebunet and Galax, two of her friends who possess the gifts of the spirit, elemental fire and ice magic, to join them on their adventure.

Before she knows it, she finds herself suiting up in her leather armor and strapping her sword to her back. The worst that could happen was an encounter with scragolts, small pointy eared beings known for ambushing travelers, or so they thought. When the four are lured into an epic battle with a bloodthirsty shadow entity, they find themselves on a quest to the capital to bring a corrupted shadow crystal necklace to the queen.

The four battle off magical and terrifying creatures across vast landscapes on their journey far from home while also battling the shadow crystal's dark energies, turning them against each other and attempting to corrupt their minds into shadow.

Shadowshard is full of epic intense battles, quirky and whimsical characters, and magical and terrifying creatures in a vast new fantasy world to explore.

Shadowshard is the first book in an all new series that takes place in the Blink Universe by Michael Riggs. If you like rich fantasy, immersive storytelling, epic adventures and strong friendships with quirky character interactions, you'll love this page-turner.
