Shadows: Book of Aleth, Part One

By: Michael Duncan

“If history is written by the victorious, what if the victors lied?”

A stolen text...When the Book of Aleth is stolen, Aaron, captain of the Royal Guard, is ordered by Emperor Therion to reclaim the ancient tome. The mission thrusts Aaron into a world he's never known--a world of elves and dwarves, races long thought extinct; a world where everything he has known and believed is a lie.

A secret past... Forced to challenge his long-held beliefs, Aaron and his companions, two soldiers of the Royal Guard and two men of the Dwarvish kingdom of Brekken-Dahl, set out on a quest to recover the Book. Aaron resolves to discover the truth, and rescue the empire he is sworn to protect.

Clare and Michael,

Great post. Shadows sounds wonderful! It's so nice to get to know you a little better.

Thanks for letting me visit here!

Much of our world has hidden the truth in the shadows. I hope that those who read this story will discover a need within themselves to pursue the truth no matter how difficult the challenges are or how large the obstacles.

Dora and Mary, it's my prayer that you enjoy it immensely.

I liked your comment about how our world has hidden the truth (or at least has tried to.)

Hope your book helps shine light in the darkness. :)

Blessings!~
