the King and Shadow Lord

Some worlds need a hero. Laknohl just needed someone who could survive.A warning from Larkspur: librarian, historian, pacifist, and reluctant witness to the ensuing chaos-Scribbler to the King.For the record, I despise violence. I would much rather be sitting in a library, accounting for the history of the world, than describing war. But when the darkness in the world gets so thick you can feel its icy fingers freezing your spine, one has to make exceptions.I was there when the King reached into your world and pulled out a broken teenager named Liam to save ours. Liam wasn't a soldier. At least, he wasn't supposed to be. But the evil doesn't care about our preferences, and it was spreading faster than we could handle in Laknohl, a land of peace. We needed someone familiar with evil, capable of good. Liam fit the bill.This book is my account of what really happened. It's the story of a troubled boy in way over his head, a spine-tingling darkness, and the sheer, unfortunate necessity of fighting back. Read it. Preferably somewhere safe.For Parents & Educators: The Fables of Laknohl series is written specifically to bridge the gap for young men who have outgrown graphic novels but need fast-paced, substantive adventures. Free of sanitized fluff, this first installment weaves themes of courage, consequence, and the cost of choosing the light into a high-stakes fantasy your son won't want to put down.
