About the book: 2003 / A decade and a half has passed since the Great Empire fell under the blows of countless hordes of Mogons, but people did not reconcile. Terrible deities, dark magical strength, the malice of low souls and the opposing light magic of Earth and Life, courage and loyalty - everything is mixed in a seething battle, through the screams and blood, the defeat of people is about to turn into victory. The novel “Lords of Shadows” depicts a world that is terrible and at the same time bewitching. No wonder Michael Cobley, whose work has been compared to the novels of Glen Cook and Steven Erickson, is considered an author with a bright future in the fantasy genre.
