What if curses are real?
Shadow of the Son is Book 2 in the Eye of the Moon series. It is preceded by the award-winning Book 1 Eye of the Moon and followed by Book 3 Dark of the Earth.
Twenty years ago, Lady Alice died under mysterious circumstances. Her ex-husband, Lord Bromley, was said to have played a part, but nothing was proven.
When Lord Bromley arrives at Rhinebeck, he sets up a chain of events from which there is no escape.
But what does Lord Bromley really want?
He says he wants certain artifacts and books from the secret library that are rightfully his, but most of all, he says he wants forgiveness and to make peace with his former wife, long since dead. But what if the dead want neither? What then?
Shadow of the Son is a complex psychological thriller about family drama, gothic mystery, and extraordinary magic that will captivate and enchant you.
This Special Edition includes an excerpt of an interview with Kathy Stickles of Feathered Quill and Ivan Obolensky about Shadow of the Son, which may be of interest to book clubs, educators, librarians, and readers in general.
***
Shadow of the Son is the novel that the readers of Eye of the Moon have been impatiently waiting for.... The plot unfolds at the same palatial estate on the banks of the Hudson River, a bucolic setting crisscrossed with mysterious undertones that can be at times benevolent or threatening.... Surprises follow one after another, making it difficult for the reader to put down the book.... The doors will open to reveal new secrets, all of which make this book, like the previous one, a true thriller.
This is a novel that wholly fulfills its mission: the telling of a story in the best possible way. Written with mastery characterized by his elegant prose and a fine, penetrating humor that is at times sharp, yet always intelligent, Ivan Obolensky develops a brilliant narrative with a sure hand that does not let up for a moment....
