Autor Joshua Khan Ilustrat de Ben Hibonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 mar 2017 – vârsta de la 8 până la 12 ani
Lilith
Shadow
wasn't
supposed
to
be
ruler
of
Gehenna.
But
on
the
terrible
day
her
father,
mother,
and
brother
were
killed,
young
Lily
became
the
last
surviving
member
of
House
Shadow,
a
long
line
of
dark
sorcerers.
Her
country
is
surrounded
by
enemies
and
the
only
way
she
can
save
it
is
by
embracing
her
heritage
and
practicing
the
magic
of
the
undead.
But
how
can
she
when,
as
a
girl,
magic
is
forbidden
to
her?
Just when it looks like Lily will have to leave her home forever, Thorn arrives at Castle Gloom. A sudden death brings them together, inspires them to break the rules, and leads them to soar to new heights in this fantasy with all the sparkle and luster of a starry night sky. Book 1 of a three book series.

"If
you
are
pining
for
that
thrill
you
felt
when
you
first
discovered
Harry
Potter,
let
me
recommend
SHADOW
MAGIC.
Here
is
a
fantasy
world
you
will
lose
yourself
in--with
Six
Great
Families
of
magic,
the
nicest
princess
of
darkness
you've
ever
met,
a
peasant
boy
with
skills
to
rival
Robin
Hood,
and
a
supporting
cast
of
zombies,
paladins,
ghost
puppies,
executioners,
minstrels,
murderers,
and
a
giant
hero
bat.
I
defy
you
not
to
love
this
story."--Rick
Riordan
"Zestful,
dynamic
and
addictive,
SHADOW
MAGIC
is
storytelling
at
its
most
exuberant.
Joshua
Khan
sweeps
you
up
on
the
very
first
page
and
never
lets
you
go.
Close
shaves,
high
adventure,
wild
fantasy,
and
giant
bats--this
book
has
it
all.
I
haven't
had
this
much
fun
in
ages.
Sit
back
and
enjoy
the
ride!"

"Great,
in-depth,
unusual
world-building
coupled
with
funny,
down-to-earth
writing.
Just
call
me
Joshua
Khan's
number
one
fan."-Sarah
Rees
Brennan
"There's
plenty
of
magic
to
be
found
in
SHADOW
MAGIC--necromancy,
giant
bats,
ghosts!--but
the
real
enchantment
is
the
spell
it
weaves
around
the
reader.
I'd
battle
a
whole
army
of
the
dead
just
to
get
to
spend
more
time
in
Castle
Gloom
and
the
world
Joshua
Khan
has
created."--Rachel
Hawkins
"An
executioner's
apprentice,
an
embattled
queen
of
shadows,
and
a
royal
hostage
join
forces
toward
a
common
goal-survival
in
a
treacherous
world
of
monsters
and
magic.
SHADOW
MAGIC
is
like
the
best
of
haunted
house
adventures-a
dark
and
twisty
thrill
ride
with
just
the
right
amount
of
creepy
humor."--Cinda

Notă biografică
Joshua
Khanwas
born
in
Britain,
a
land
filled
with
ancient
castles,
dark
forests,
and
tales
of
legendary
heroes
and
fantastical
monsters.
He
can
tell
you
who
King
Arthur
fought
on
Baden
Hill,
but
can't
tell
you
what
he
himself
had
for
breakfast.
So,
his
head
stuffed
with
magical
stories,
it
was
inevitable
that
Joshua
would
want
to
create
some
of
his
own.
Hence
SHADOW
MAGIC.
Josh
lives
in
London
with
his
family,
but
he'd
rather
live
in
a
castle.
It
wouldn't
have
to
be
very
big,
just
as
long
as
it
had
battlements.
