"
With atmospheric writing, metaphysical magic, and an internal quest every bit as exciting as the external adventure, this is an inspired debut. No doubt the beginning of a marvelous career!

of
Shadow of Legends (The Dragonforged Saga, #1):
"Shadow of Legends hits that classic fantasy sweet spot in the fashion of Tolkien; a sensational, emotionally-charged work from the mind of Rosell. A must-read for fans of Cahill and Paolini."
