Shadow Fall: A Tale Of The Black Rose

Modern special operations meets fantasy 101. Shadow Fall is a fantasy novel, set in a detailed world but with a twist. The primary characters are members of the Shadows, an elite force specializing in long range reconnaissance and denied area direct action missions. As such, they use the tactics, techniques and procedures of special operations within this fantasy setting. Magic substitutes for many advanced technologies but at the end of the day, its all about the men, not the gear. Rook and his team find themselves the fall guys for a complex political maneuver after a routine mission into Alfar (Elven) territory. Drawn deeper into a plot by unseen forces, the team finds themselves betrayed to add veracity to the plot. Come run the shadows with Rook and his team as they test the true meaning of loyalty. Enter a hard bitten world of military adventure in a grim fantasy setting of magic and politics. Stalk through hostile territory, fight using medieval weaponry while remaining true to the principles of speed, surprise and violence of action, learn to trust your team and no one else while trying to survive in this world of betrayal and ambush. If you enjoy realistic tactics and combat within a fantasy setting, if you enjoyed Glen Cook's Black Company and the darker end of the fantasy genre, this book will be for you.
