It's hotter than Potter

Shadowmancer (written by G.P. Taylor) is an excellent book (it's even better than Harry Potter) and is suitable for people of all ages.

The story

This book is about a sorcerer called Obadiah Demurral who owns one of the only two keruvim in the world. With this keruvim he could unleash pure terror.

While Demurral sets evil on Thomas, Kate and Raphah he lets an even bigger evil on the loose without even realizing.

Demurral reckons that he owns the power and will keep it but the pyatheon, controller of evil, will only let him use it for so long.

Commendation

The plot is very complicated but because the book is so well written I could follow it easily.

You could actually start reading it almost anywhere and it would make sense.

I liked this book very much and would recommend it for confident readers.
