Hello Hello! How are you?
Today I’m back on the blog to shine the spotlight on Son of Shadow by John Lenahan, currently on #BlogTour with Dave and the team over at @The_WriteReads.
I have to say first and foremost that I adore this cover, it looks very Irish in my opinion, I love the green and the gold, it looks so cool. I also really fancy reading this book, so I’ll definitely do that when I’ve finished my thesis, it sounds like my cup of tea for sure.
Thank you so much as always to Dave for having me on this tour, and thank you to the author and the publisher for providing me with a free copy of this book to read and review. Keep your eyes peeled around September-time for my review on the blog!
Now without further ado, let’s see what this book is all about!
GOODREADS SYNOPSIS
A world of faeries, leprechauns and dragons – and magic fuelled by the blood of trees.
A mystery portal to the Real World.
And a pair of curious young adventurers who know they shouldn’t step through it…
Meet Fergal the Second, nicknamed ‘two’. Or ‘Doe’, in his own language. He can do magic. But, for the moment, he’s forgotten where he’s from. Or what’s happened to his blind friend Ruby.
He’s actually from Tir na Nog, the enchanted world of Shadowmagic, where a new generation of the royal House of Duir are cheeking their parents, preparing for adulthood and itching to see the Real World for themselves – whatever the peril.
