Synopsis
Wars are won with blood and steel, but in the haunted forests of Tenumbra, the true threat lurks in the pagan night, where ancient gods linger and rebellious heretics plot to return the land to the old ways. But a new danger is rising, one that will bring the church, the pagans, and the world itself to their knees. Tenumbra is a land torn apart by old rivalries and older secrets. Northern lord Malcolm Blakley and his son, Ian, are trapped in the middle. Faithful to the twin gods of the Celestial Church, respected and feared by his countrymen, yet still haunted by the gods of his ancestors, Malcolm is called upon to help restore the peace when the threat of war looms. But dark forces are moving beneath the surface of the world, and Malcolm's every effort will only plunge the world deeper into darkness. Meanwhile, the huntress Gwen Adair protects an ancient secret. To all appearances, her family is faithful to the Celestial Church, but deep beneath their keep, the Adairs secretly keep the old ways. Gwen is tasked with hiding her family's heresy even as war sweeps across the land, threatening to destroy everything she loves. Praise for The Pagan Night: "Full of strong world building, cinematic and frequent battle scenes, high adventure, great characters, suspense, and dramatic plot shifts, this is an engaging, fast-paced entry in a popular subgenre." — Booklist, starred review "A must for all epic fantasy fans." — Starburst Magazine "It's great to see someone is still writing good traditional swords and sorcery, with as much attention paid to the magic, as the action. It moves at a fast pace, the characters are real enough to make the unreal more credible, and the whole thing is just an excellent page-turner." — Simon R. Green, New York Times bestselling author of Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves
