text: Shadowbred by Paul Kemp is simply an excellent book.  The story is incredibly engrossing, the atmosphere set for each scene is really top-notch, and the journey Paul takes his character's through is really incredible.
  
  We see personal demons and struggles of the heroes.  Struggles with faith, the journey of an anti-hero to a hero and whether he can really make this journey.  The villains are equally deep and interesting and frankly human.
  
  If you are a fan of fantasy literature, definitely pick this one up - you won't regret it.  
  
  As a side note, you might want to pick up the previous books by Paul featuring Erevis Cale as well
