Product Description

Synopsis

Nightshade was once the best warrior in Delgarvo. But defeat at the hands of the evil sorcerer, Avoch Dar, left him without his sword arm. Now Avoch Dar has returned and intends to lay Delgarvo to waste. Only Nightshade can stop him. But what use is a one-armed hero against such powerful sorcery?

5.0 out of 5 stars Heroic fantasy written just like it should, 10 Aug 2006
By Pieter W. lak (The Netherlands) - See all my reviews
The Book of Shadows
The first book in The Nightshade Chronicles
Stan Nicholls

Dalveen Leandor, also known as Nightshade, is the best warrior in the kingdom of Delgarvo. The readers gets into the story the moment Dalveen discovers a conspiracy against the ruler of Delgarvo, king Eldrick. The evil wizard Avoch Dar, mastermind behind the conspiracy, is captured and brought before king Eldrick to stand trial. Since Avoch Dar used to be one of the kings trusted councillors Eldrick decides to banish Avoch Dar from Delgarvo instead of putting him to death. Not one of his best decisions......

Avoch Dar returns to Delgarvo with a huge army, only to find Dalveen and the armies of king Eldrick on his path. Dalveen almost succeeds to defeat the wizard in after a bitter fight. Sadly Avoch Dar takes away Nightshades most powerful weapon...his swordarm....

Devastated by shame Nightshade flees the country. Only to discover that only he can stop Avoch Dar by finding the fabled Book of Shadows. This is where his quest starts....

The Book of Shadows is the first book in years I've read from page one till the end in just a matter of hours. Just couldn't stop turning the pages. Slightly predictable at certain points but without a doubt a story very well told. Heroic fantasy written just like it should.

5.0 out of 5 stars EXELLENT! EXELLENT! EXELLENT!, 24 May 2001
This was the first book I ever read. It is what got me into reading. It's one of those books that you'll read until your asleep! Stan Nicholls really makes you feel that your actually with the characters all the way. It's full of action and excitement! I read the second one which was equally as great. I have now ordered all three of the books and am going to read the first and second all over again. I would like to purchase some more of his books soon. (Thanks Amazon). Do yourself a favour and buy this book, in fact buy all three! Or at least go to the library to go check them out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant! Just Brilliant!, 18 Feb 2001
By A Customer
I read this book in the school libary and it is great. It is full of action, and altogether a fantastic book. Once you've read this book it will make you crazy looking for the other two (Believe me I know) The second is also a Brilliant read, but is annoying at the end. I haven't got the thrid book yet but I will! Stan Nicholls is now my fav writter!
