So far, he’s worked in an ice cream shop, trained as a hairdresser, studied sociology and psychology, written for and performed with a touring theatre company, and backpacked across far-flung countries with loose change in his pocket.

SHADOWLAND by C.M. Gray, A Tale From the Dark Ages
October 9, 2012 | Filled under Uncategorized |

Today’s featured book is SHADOWLAND by C.M. Gray.  An intense story about the dark days before the rise of King Author. It currently has a 4.1 star rating with 29 reviews.
A Little About SHADOWLAND:
From Tom Clementson, Reviewer with The Kindle Book Review
Call this the prequel to some of the best tales surrounding King Arthur and the mythical Camelot. Step back in time to a dark age a generation before the famed Knights of the Round Table when a Saxon horde, treacherous Britons, and savage Picts relentlessly scour the countryside for the true heir to the British throne. Caught up in the fray are Usher and Cal, along with dozens of other children who are rounded up as the invaders burn village after village in their search. Narrowly escaping slaughter in their own village, the boys hunt the war band for answers and Cal’s sister Clarise, who was taken captive in the raid. Their journey is one of discovery, about the plots for power and the power within themselves.
Gray has a real gem starting with his subject and carries it through with an excellent delivery. The Arthur legends rarely talk much about the dark days before Camelot so it was intriguing to see someone attempt this story. He approaches this in much the same way Patrick Rothfuss rolled out The Name of the Wind, where the central character, much older, tells the story of his youth. This bridge between past and present allows the story to breathe and provides transitions without disrupting the overall pace. I was also pleased that the battle scenes provided a sense of strategy and action without going overboard and losing momentum or the central theme. The main characters are well developed as are many of the supporting characters, all of whom tie you firmly into the plot. This book has been re-edited since its original release so some of the glitches earlier reviewers mentioned have been corrected. Excellent work by C.M. Gray – a solid 4.5 stars.
