SHADOWS OF VALOR

Cover on left: New cover by Dane Low in conjunction with Amberjack Publishing for the 2017 reissue. Cover on right: Original cover for the 2013 release by Jolly Fish Press with cover photography by Yelena Baykova of cover models Paulina Baykova and Brady Knighton. 

OVERVIEW: 
Something dark stirs within the peaceful walls of the prosperous city of Graywall, something only the mysterious vigilante known as The Shadow—a man torn between a sense of justice and the desire for revenge—can overcome. In reality the nobleman Sir Calan, The Shadow is sent to hunt down smugglers who have run rampant after the levying of a harsh tax by King Edward. When he learns of a plot against the just ruler of the city, Lord Shaufton, on his mission, he must enter a pseudo courtship with Shaufton’s daughter under his guise of Sir Calan, even as he wrestles with emotions stirred by the lovely Elsbeth, Lord Shaufton’s niece. Elsbeth may be the only person who can heal Calan’s troubled soul, but she has secrets of her own. Rife with deceit, greed, inner struggles, betrayal, and love, this page-turner will grip readers from the opening lines.
