Publisher's Summary

True evil never dies....

Barely surviving his last battle against malevolent forces, retired marine and ghost hunter Shane Ryan is surprised to receive an invitation to a new Iron Tournament. But before he can turn his attention to this supernatural death match, he must first track down a shipment of unusual metal, torn from the foundation of a cursed cathedral.

Each twisted scrap leaves a trail of nightmare in its wake. Shane tracks a shipment of this stolen material to Buffalo, NY, where he quickly discovers that the metal seems to aid and enhance supernatural possession. Ghosts he vanquished in the past have resurfaced and taken control of those who touch the cursed mineral.

And at a farmhouse in Kentucky, this strange metal has allowed three violent spirits to possess a single body. As they struggle for control of their flesh and bone host, work begins on the new Iron Tournament.

Shane was victorious in the first tournament.... Can he now defeat a man infused with the power of this unholy trinity?

And will he still have the strength to defeat the ultimate evil, lurking in the shadows?

Or will he and everyone around him succumb to the power of the Shadow King?

The Shadow King

Great series ! love the story and the characters ! Can't wait for the next book to come out!

Whoa

Not where I thought the story would go, but what a wild and dark ride! Always love to just enjoy a story and not have it all figured out before the end.

What a ride!!!

I have to admit, this set of books made me more worried about our friend Shane than any other I’ve read. This book, this trilogy is well worth it. It leaves you biting your nails and talking to Shane and the other characters. This book doesn’t disappoint in anyway…..well except that little inkling in the back of your brain that wonders if this adventure was really over.

Shane Ryan and Round Two

Ohhhh - Shane Ryan and his "messes." This time, they are determined to take Shane Ryan out as quickly as possible, As he continues his search, a man approaches him after his cousin goes missing, As Shane tries to help him, they discover the matches might not be finished, and are moving to another location. He knows he needs to shut it down.
Shane is about to come face to face with a ghost from the past - while someone else is trying to rid Shane's house of all his ghosts.

Who will be the victor??

Great book, and hard to put down. I am loving this series!

Wow, A story with such depth

I love Shane Ryan! He's a man's man that you can easily believe and accept as a tough, war hardened Marine and still believe the softer side that cares about his friends alive or dead. This battle pulls and pushes our guy in ways unexpected. This is going to be even more interesting with new characters and locations. I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas. What's gonna happen next.

the shadow king series, worth the read/listen

I quite enjoyed the 1st 2 books and couldn't wait for the 3rd. I was a little dissapointed in the 3rd but it gave us the ending we needed. I will listen to it again because I maybe missed a few things. But this series is very much worth reading! The tournament is something you will never forget!

Ian Fortey, Ron Ripley never disappoint.

Ian Fortey, Ron Ripley are masters of storytelling. This installment of Shadow King series is in my opinion the best yet. Bringing the story full circle but not quite to a full conclusion. Tying up loose ends but still leaving an opening for more story to be told. The imagination and originality with these authors is what keeps me coming back. The narrator performance is awesome as usual. Totally recommend theses authors.

Absolutely fabulous series

I have read this on my Kindle as well as listening through Audible. I love the narrator; he makes these stories come to life! Well written. Fabulous characters. Read all the Scare Street books - Ron Ripley, Ian Fortey, Sara Clancy and more!

Shane my bad guy

I was given this advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review and I'm willingly doing so now. Wow what can I say about book or where to begin. I've been listening to this series from the start and it just gets better and better. I'm liking what I an & Ron have done so far. Shane is once again kicking behind and not taking names I loved seeing Karl and Eloise made an appearance and seeing Big Bear was a treat. I was screaming at my tablet at parts it was gteat. I'm definitely looking forward to more of this series. and as always Thom Bowers brought the characters alive with such elegance great job guys. five stars all the way.

What a ride!

Loved this book! Shane is at it again along with a new sidekick. The story filled in some holes that had been lingering from the first book and tied it all together neatly. I found myself rooting for Shane, holding my breath and tugs at my emotions. Great book!!

need another one

I have now listened to all 3 in the series and would love to hear more of Shane and his Ghosts .
