These are dark times. The Romans are leaving the island of Briton, and
the Saxons are taking their place, invading the land of the tribes. A
false king sits on the throne, demanding allegiance. And all of that
seems very far away to Cal and Usher, two boys living in a remote
village. All that changes one dark night, when everything they knew and
loved is destroyed. Forced to run, Cal and Usher cross a land that is in
turmoil, unaware that each of them has a vital destiny to fulfill.
Close behind is an implacable enemy determined to destroy a future king
and willing to kill anyone who comes in the way. Assisted by a
mysterious archer and a prophesy from the Druids, Cal and Usher must
grow up fast, for they are about to be thrown into the midst of a battle
that will determine not only their future, but that of all of Briton.
"Shadowland" is a tensely written story about the dark days before the
rise of King Arthur. Flawlessly weaving history, legend and imagination,
C.M. Gray spins a thrilling tale that brings to mind classic epics of
days gone by. The mystery of who Cal, Usher and their archer friend are
is intriguing and satisfying. Anyone interested in historical fiction
around the time of the Saxon invasion, or in stories about King Arthur
and his predecessors, will enjoy this great romp through a small but
significant time in the turbulent history of Briton.
