In Solitude’s Shadow by David Green is a dark fantasy novel about Calene Alpenwood, a powerful warrior-mage gifted with Spark, and her mother Zanna, who had been banished for a terrible crime.
Green is a fantastic writer, and In Solitude’s Shadow is evidence of that. From war to love and trust, Green pulls you through a whirlwind of emotions and gives you some beautifully written sentences in the process.

This book is not for all readers as it deals with torture, rape, and PTSD, which draws on experiences from the author’s life.
