Review
The trilogy is a highly enjoyable series of books to read. If you were looking for comparisons in style and substance then the late Professor Tolkien and the wonderful Robin Hobb would come close. The narrative is at is strongest when dealing with the past, the creation theory is first-rate, well conceived and genuinely moving, and the way in which Kaplyn experiences the past-life of his shaol (a kind of guardian spirit), Shastlyn, is delightfully well described. The parts where Kaplyn battles with his very real inner demon make for compelling reading as the noble and caring man struggles with violent, cruel and tyrannical compulsions.

Product Description
Astalus has returned. He has found an Eldric spell book and, in particular, a spell to summon dragons. The allies march north to confront the Trosgarth's growing might. Warrior priests can now communicate across the battlefield using their shaol, death knights have been resurrected, and in the air grakyn are supported by a new threat - a demon/dragon hybrid. To make matters worse, Astalus discovers that the power that Kaplyn recovered so long ago can open a permanent gateway to the demon world. Drachar is finally free and his minions will march from the very depths of hell. Astalus knows all of this through a demon that has possessed him. The army marches to its fate, unaware of the trap awaiting them. Prince Fiad leads them. Will he be the army's salvation or damnation? The men mutter, uncomfortable in the knowledge that, at the final battle, a king will not lead them against the tides of evil. Drachar is poised, his death knights ready to tear the army apart.

Format:Paperback
Shadow of the Demon created a perfect ending to the trilogy Prophecy of the Kings. If was full of action right to the end and the battle scenes were superb. I was sorry when I finished it but I am now reading David Burrows' new novel, Drachar's Demons, the prequel to the trilogy. Like the last 3 books, I can't put it down.

What a fantastic end to the trilogy. My 13 year old son said the books got successively more exciting and he was right. As a Dad keen on the content my son reads I dip into his books now and then and I caught the David Burrows bug I'm afraid.
If you like your fantasy clever, fun and thoughtful this is the book for you. There are dark elements there it is true but it primarily an entertaining read.
For Mr Burrows: When is your next book out?!
