A Dream of Shadows, Paperback

A taut, highly intense story filled with stunning twists and interludes of terrifying action, A Dream of Shadows takes place in a nerve-wracking 48 hour timeframe. The book's protagonist, Vazeer the Lash, has lived on a knife's edge his entire adult life working as a smuggler in the crime-riddled city of Hell's Labyrinth. Having turned himself into an educated man, Vazeer longs to retire from his nefarious career, which has always been at odds with the more cultured side of his personality.

His chance comes when he is paid a fortune to bring down The Raving Blade, one of Hell's Labyrinth's most infamous and sadistic power brokers. Given two days to complete the job, Vazeer joins a rogue's gallery of expert Shadow Bidders, each a master of a unique set of unsavory skills. Among them are an ex pirate, who's enormous size and skill with weapons makes him a veritable one man army, a brilliant actress who finds herself playing a key role in a criminal world where she doesn't belong, and a calm, mysterious assassin, who draws events ever forward towards a series of increasingly dire consequences



With life and death hanging in the balance, a dangerous romance unfolds. Secrets are revealed and violence erupts, irreversibly blurring the line between good and evil.

Perfect for fans of George RR Martin, Joe Abercrombie, and Patrick Rothfuss, A Dream of Shadows marks the start of a thrilling new literary fantasy series from Peter Eliott.
