Publisher's Synopsis
THE ADOW SPOKE A FALSE PROPHECY and now a kingdom of warriors follows her to their doom. She knows it's all a lie, but what can she do when everyone expects her to speak as the voice of god?
A FATHER FAILED TO PROTECT THE woman he loved, and now must save his daughter from assassins. He knows she deserves better, but what can he do when tradition dictates he serves as protector?
A BOY ENTERTAINS HIS AUDIENCE WITH tales of wonder and glory, and then must scrounge for food lest he starve. He wants more out of life, but what can he do as a member of a discarded community?
In The Adow, the first book of his God of Another World series, Chad Michael Cox shows us a fantasy world filled with fallen heroes who continue to fail, scholars who accept fiction as fact, and sorcerers whom everyone openly mocks. As heard in tales told by the cursed taggles, or glimpsed through the eyes of the Adow, we find people who never get what they want-and don't deserve any better-yet somehow manage to endure. They fight for one bastard or another, fall in love with the worst of creatures, and honor those who deserve mention only in stories of demons or monsters.
