Under the Shadow of Darkness by James Cardona

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

While this book is a decent read for a young-adult fantasy, I also thought there was a lot of unexplained backstory for the main characters. Hopefully if the author continues this series the backstory will be filled in with new books.

This book tells the story of Bel who is apprenticed to a the great Mage of the forest and their fight to close the breach that has been raising ghouls (undead) who have a thirst for blood. The journey is filled with peril,darkness and the occasional humor.

I got this book in exchange for an honest review.
