Synopsis
After months of searching, The Seekers think they may have come to the end of their search for the Chalice of Fire that was stolen by Bricriu Poisontongue. But just as they are about to reach their goal, the wily thief slips away. Grimly, the Seekers once again set off after Bricriu to return the Chalice to the Red Branch. But the way is overrun with vampires and other creatures of the night controlled by the evil wizard Maliman. The wizard has escaped from his prison deep within the Great Rift and has begun to rebuild his army of followers. Bricriu makes his way to the Valley of the Shadows, a region ruled by the dead who lost their honor while alive and now try to draw the living into their evil kingdom. Here, the Seekers meet the greatest challenge of their search--with no choice but to follow Bricriu through the valley of the dead.

About the Author
BRIAN CULLEN is a former professor of classic literature who lives near Lunenberg, Massachusetts, and in Ireland. He lives in a house filled with books and music in a world of his own creation. Valley of Shadows is the second in the trilogy that began with Seekers of the Chalice.
From Publishers Weekly
Cullen continues his fantasy quest trilogy (begun with 2008's Seekers of the Chalice) with this predictable central installment. Bricriu Poisontongue has stolen the magical Chalice of Fire, and six Seekers—humans, elves, wizard and Sidhe—must undergo trials by combat as they chase him down. The colorful settings and well-choreographed martial encounters stoke a bit of interest in an otherwise derivative tale mostly based on Celtic lore and eclectically punctuated with motifs from classical mythology, the Iliad, Dante's Inferno and the Bible. Cullen even tosses in a bit of poetry to keep things interesting, but grisly action wins out over character development, producing a tempting banquet of vicarious derring-do that never quite achieves lasting satisfaction.
