A Culling of Shadow

A Culling of Shadow

Book Three in Echoes of the Untold Age

Tommy Maple has worn many names - hunter, wanderer, Herald of Autumn - but none of them have prepared him for the reckoning bearing down on Unterfels.

The sorcerer Ryker Carrows was driven from the steads once, but his hunger for the village hasn't faded, and now he knows what Tommy intends. With Samhain night closing fast, the Herald must track the madman down before the last of his plans collapse - and along the way, he's forced to confront the worst choices of his long, strange life. Old debts come due. Old loves resurface. And the fair-folke of the Thornèd Hedge are about to learn just how far their guardian will go to protect them.

Between binding oaths, fae riddles, and horrors that gnaw at the edges of sanity, Tommy must decide what he's willing to sacrifice to save the people - and the person - he holds dearest.

Dark, wry, and steeped in folklore, A Culling of Shadow continues J.M. Guillen's genre-blending Irrational Worlds saga for readers who like their fantasy haunted.
