The warlock’s shadow

Berren is not enjoying himself. Trapped in a temple, forced to learn how to read, how to write and how to recall the histories of the Saints, all he wants is to be given a sword. As a thief-taker’s apprentice he imagined a world of daring night time chases, glorious victories and a life of excitement. His dreams aren’t quite coming true.

So when a prince – the first and last prince he’ll ever see – hires the thief-taker as a bodyguard, Berren is thrilled. When he hears that a troupe of Dragon Monks – exotic warriors and the best swordsmen in the world – are visiting, he sees an opportunity to learn how to fight. When one of the Monks turns out to be a girl of the same age, his future suddenly seems a lot brighter.

But when a shadowy figure launches an attack on the life of Prince Sharda, Berren finds himself plunged into a world of danger, intrigue and terror. He may discover that being trained with a sword isn’t enough – sometimes, you have to know who to fight.
