A failed mage turned outlaw must use guile and a handful of spells to challenge a dangerous rival in the second audiobook of an exciting adventure fantasy series from Sebastien de Castell.

Forced to live as an outlaw, Kellen relies on his wits and his allies to survive the unforgiving borderlands. When he meets a young woman cursed with a deadly plague, he feels compelled to help. But her secrets draw powerful enemies, and it's not long before Kellen is entangled in a conspiracy of blackmail, magic, and murder.

As the bodies begin to pile up, Kellen fears he's next.

The second novel in a compelling six-title series, bursting with tricks, humor, and a whole new way to look at magic.

Kellen’s life after the first book didn't get better, it got harder, and eventually he learned. And flexing that brain is definitely his asset for sure. Performed amazingly by Joe Jameson, and even still, amazing prose and written characters and development! can't wait for the next!

Great sequel

This is turning out to be a pretty good high fantasy western. Amazing voice work and fairly compelling characters. Seeing that future books keep getting longer and longer is not encouraging. I've seen this in countless other series and longer books usually means more self-indulgent filler, not more quality. Still, so far so good. If I can get book 3 in a sale, I intend to do so.

Pretty good series

When it comes to sequels there is always a tipping point after the first book. Many simply fall flat, and can never match what made the first book good. That's not the case with Shadowblack. This book takes the riding off into the sunset finish of the last book and crashes it back down into reality.

I'd say the only draw back is the first 15- 20 minutes where the author is trying to acclimate the reader to the characters.

As for the narrator, the guy was just as good as last time.

Great sequel- Keeps the pace from the last book

I love this series, it has excitement and drama and other than a few choice words it would be a great family listen.

love this series

This book was better than the first one. The MC still often acts younger than he is, but he is at least a little less expecting of others to do things for him and less whiney about it.

Better

accidentally started on book 2 but love the narrators voice and was hooked just from the preview. Now that book 2 is done, I'm off to buy book one and figure out how it all began. have been telling everyone I know about this book in the last 24 hours. finished it within 48 on audibles.

hooked...

I came across this author after one of the Greatcoats books showed up in an audible sale. I enjoyed that series so much that I went looking for his other works. This series is quite a bit different, more YA than the more adult Greatcoats, but I still enjoyed it. It has been interesting to see how things develop for the characters, both their growth as they come to understand each other and the world around them, and their interactions with each other. It's very much the story of a young man who just keeps pushing forward through everything the world throws at him.

An interesting story with a great reader
