The Shadow War Trilogy

The Blackened Prophecy trilogy had closed the chapter on Ray Harris’s story. His arc was complete, and he finished his part in the grand design.

Stay with me, friends. The story is nowhere near done. In fact, Tom Edwards created five (yes, 5) new covers for me for The Blackened Prophecy saga.

Stay tuned :).
