on Jul 01, 2022

Donald L. Marino, author of Return of the Shadows Book Two: Under Attack, was one of the featured authors at the Guadalajara International Book Fair 2021. It is the second book in a fantasy fiction trilogy about Alastrine and the chosen ones who were all sent off to fight for balance.

They all face obstacles thrown up by the Goddess Hel, who uses her shadowy troll army to stop them, destroy, and enslave the races. Suspense, excitement, and magic abound in the Return of the Shadows trilogy.

"The mystery, flow of the story, character development, suspense, plot twists, action, and drama are some of the elements that make the book exciting to read." The author is fascinating, and he makes the reader feel as though they are a part of the narrative as he tells it."

“They walked and picked their way through the crowd. The crowd was slowed by everything they carried physically and mentally, and soon they were at what seemed to be the front of the crowd.”
