Episode 2 of Shadow
Stalker The Delohi-saqu’s Fate, is truly an amazing fantasy story that holds
an interesting mentor and apprentice relationship. Scattergood shows off her
mysterious new fantasy creature (shadow stalker), with action and creativity
that is truly all her own.
Episode 2, takes place on the Dark Isle, the home of the
shadow stalkers. On the island Kado begins Auren’s training in how to use her
shadow stalker abilities; through a series of deadly lessons. After, each
lesson Auren learns new information about her abilities and what Kado has done
to protect her over the years.
The relationship between Auren and Kado is an interesting
one. Auren plays the role of a strong female lead who has to take in a lot of
new information and does fairly well. She does fall victim to her emotions on
occasion though. While, Kado plays the role of the strict, but caring mentor.
He has many secrets that he keeps from Auren that make him feel conflicted and she
feels confused, do to his inability to express himself appropriately.
I would have to strongly state that, Shadow Stalker The Delohi’s Fate, is definitely worth the read.
But, just in case you’re not aware, episode 1, The Hidden Truth, is free to
download at Smashwords.com. And if the word free doesn’t get your attention
then here is a review supplied by my fellow DKC Team-member Kathryn Jenkins. I’m sure that you’ll enjoy reading them just
as much as I did, and become hungry for episode 3 next month.
Rating: 5/5

Synopsis:
The Galvadi Empire is overtaking the
Serpent Isles, but the Council of Elders refuses to allow the shadow stalkers
to go to their aid. If the Coalition loses the war, it could lead to the shadow
stalker's ultimate demise. Only the Foramar can override the council's
decision, but Auren's father, Zain, is the Galvadi's prisoner.
Meanwhile, Auren has begun her training on
the Dark Isle by being tricked into a dark abyss. She is forced to face the
power of the shadow world in order to free herself from the darkness. However,
the torrent of her emotions attracts the attention of a demon, one of the
deadly guardians of the world of the dead.
Auren manages to survive the encounter, but
now the Council of Elders is conspiring against her. The only way she can stop
their corruption is by rescuing her father, but if she leaves Kado would become
a deadly enemy. The Dark Isle was supposed to be her refuge, but it is rapidly
becoming her prison.
