Read OnlineReviewPraise for Shadow Prowler:"Toothy, gritty, and relentless. Alexey Pehov sneaks up on you and fascinates with the wry voice of a young Moorcock. Clear space on your shelf—you'll want the whole series."—E. E. Knight “Those who like fantasy novels offering ogres, elves, undead creatures, wizards, and the like joined in an epic quest will be delighted...pitched battles are described so well that they seem to unfold before one’s eyes. A first book in a series that piques interest for the others.”*—Booklist“Bestselling Russian author Pehov translates easily in his English fantasy debut...protagonist Shadow Harold proves modest and witty enough a narrator to carry the series.”—Publishers Weekly “[Shadow Harold is] almost like some character out of The Adventures of Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser by Fritz Leiber. He’s an unlikely sort of hero for a series... Shadow Prowler is a very good beginning to Alexey Pehov’s trilogy.”—BSC Reviews*“A book that most fantasy readers will want to read and explore.... In short, if you like reading fantasy, you’ll love reading this book.”—Graeme’s Fantasy Book ReviewsAbout the AuthorALEXEY PEHOV is the award-winning author of The Chronicles of Siala series, a bestseller in his native Russia.
