Secrets of Neverak

The Tale of Light and Shadow, Book 2

By: Jacob Gowans

Narrated by: Shaun Grindell

Henry Vestin always believed that, despite being a carpenter with no training in swordplay or survival, he could lead Isabelle and his friends to safety. He thought he could defy an emperor and protect Isabelle from harm. He was certain that love and friendship would help them survive.

He was wrong.

The second volume in the Tale of Light and Shadow series follows Henry and his friends after the disastrous battle at the Iron Pass. Horrors await the band of travelers in strange new lands. Crippled and broken, Henry must rely on his friends more than ever. New allies and foes find them at every turn, but which are friendly and which are deadly? Isabelle, now a slave in Neverak, finds herself surrounded by enemies, uncertain about the fate of her friends and relying on only herself to survive. The emperor moves forward with his plans of conquest, spurred on by the Seer's dark prophecy, but he has not forgotten those who defied him.

Return to the world of Atolas, where swords and daggers extend life or end it, where feuds and friendships influence kingdoms and courtships, and where magic is feared by all but a few.

Cliffhanger

Where’s book 3?! There’s no information about it and it’s been years, stops before it concludes and lots of stuff is missing

Where’s book 3!!!!!

Wonderful world building and interesting, lovable characters. I sped through both books within a few days and immediately looked for the third, only to find that it hasn’t been published yet. Definitely worth your time if you enjoy fantasy/adventure novels set within a rich universe.

Great story

Can not wait for book 3. I would love to hear the end of the story.

Best story I've read in a long time

can't wait for the next book. well written and read. I love the cleanness and want to thank the author. Seems to be authors have to dirty up stories. I personally and many I know enjoy a good story without all the trash. I will spread this one around to the many many people I know.

Amazing!!!

This story has continued to surprise and enthrall me! Well written and intriguing and clean!

Why no book 3? 😭

Loved this series so much, but I HATE cliffhangers when I don’t already have the next book to read. Very disappointing. This story was really creative and romantic and I could not stop listening to it. I hope that Jacob Gowans will write a third book soon!

No Book 3 why?

I got super invested in these characters and now there’s no book 3 I don’t get to see how it ends. Why?

Captivating and Original Story

Fantastic story and character growth. A good clean read. Eagerly awaiting the release of the Third Tale to see where this story goes.

Where Is Book Three?

This is not cool. No book three? Story good, but this is not cool. Very disappointing.

Excellent series

I love this series. The author paints a vivid backdrop with characters that are easily relatable and ones that you really grow to care about. The narrator does an excellent job of lifting the story off the pages and bringing it to life.
