SILVER AND SHADOW
by Robert E Kreig
A PROMISE TO HONOUR THE DEAD BECOMES A BATTLE FOR THE LIVING.
When young warrior Arnald Oberlin and elven sheriff Kysha Naberyn arrive in Wyvernmont to lay their commander to rest, whispers of a grim discovery stir the town. Two boys, slain under mysterious circumstances. An expedition into the wilds. An ancient ruin steeped in silence and shadow.
What they uncover there will awaken a hunger long buried—the Upyr, a blood-thirsty scourge capable of turning friend into foe and the innocent into monsters. As the siege of Wyvernmont begins, Arnald and Kysha must unite trolls, fae, and townsfolk in a desperate stand. But even if they survive the night, the true heart of the darkness still waits in the depths.
To destroy it, they will have to return to where it all began… and face the choice between safety and sacrifice, light and oblivion.

From the very first chapter, I was immersed in the world the author evoked with words, and the captivating imagery kept me engaged. I followed compelling characters through trees that gather and hug each other closely. This is the kind of stylistic language you encounter in Pit Guard: Silver and Shadow, as the engaging dialogues fuel the conflict and move the plot forward. The setting's details capture feelings, sounds, and sights, teasing all the senses. The narrative is filled with action, the characters are well written, and the conflict grows from page to page. This author combines style, exceptional prose, and superb storytelling to entertain fans of epic fantasy. This book is deftly plotted and features a massive conflict in a well-imagined and stunningly developed world.”
