River of Night is the first book in the Shadow Kingdom series by Naomi Kuttner. If you have been searching for a great new book to read that is in the fantasy genre and is different from other things out there, this might be the book for you.
Ivan is hoping that he is actually going insane, and there’s a reason for that. The alternative that he is completely sane is worse to him because of the reality that he is going to have to accept as a result.
Ivan has just found out the truth that his quiet hometown is not what he thought it was. It is instead home to a Viking death cult that wants to raise up a horrible power. Ivan decided to break into their ceremony so that he could save a friend– and instead, he ended up becoming their main target. That was the last thing that he ever intended.
Now things are picking up and he’s not sure what to do. The cult leader has disappeared and is thought to be dead, but no one has any way of knowing for sure whether that is true right now. The truth of the matter is that if the facts come out, there’s going to be a top suspect, and it’s going to be Ivan.
That’s not even the largest problem that he is dealing with. Ivan has begun seeing the types of things that other people are not able to. He’s seeing shadow wolves, ancient death gods, and some type of dark power that is coming together in the mountains.
Ivan doesn’t know what to do with this information. They say that seeing is believing, but Ivan is having a tough time believing in what he sees. He has no idea whether he can trust his mind or whether it’s malfunctioning on him. He knows that he is either losing his mind or there is an actual reason behind what is happening. The Viking cult has managed to come up with something that is really strong and it’s affecting him in some way.
All that he knows is that he has become too involved to back out now. Summer is going to be wonderful if Ivan can get through it. Does he have what it takes to survive or is he about to find out that he’s just had the bad luck of coming into circumstances that cannot be conquered? Read the first book in this series to find out.
Net of Shadows is the second book in the Shadow Kingdom series by Naomi Kuttner. Readers who enjoyed the first book in this series will want to get on board for the sequel as the adventure continues in this fantasy genre-based story.
After all the things that were going on last summer, Ivan has come to the belief that he has left all of the insanity that came with it behind him. That’s in the past and he’s determined to move forward, which is awesome because he really didn’t enjoy what was going on anyway.
Everything seems to change when he finds himself part of a secret order of knights who have taken an oath to keep London safe. Ivan has been made to join them under the protection of an old enemy, but there’s also a very big catch. If any of them end up discovering what Ivan is able to do with shadow power, it would put his life in danger.
The threats are growing on every side, and things are getting complicated. In this world, people are anything but what they appear to be. Can Ivan protect his secret while controlling his power or is he about to find out that things are tougher than he expected? This is a world of shadow magic where danger and mystery are as common as enchantments and spells.
Naomi Kuttner has crafted her own world here in a fantasy series that will have fans spellbound. This is a great book to tuck along with you while commuting or just to settle in with at home and read cover to cover. Check out the second book in this series and find out what happens with Ivan next!
