Shadows of Illyria is a groundbreaking new series which departs from traditional fantasy fiction with the use of gritty realism in the portrayal of war, mythical creatures, and even magic. Written by a combat veteran of the Iraq War, author JM VanZuiden seamlessly weaves the realities of war into an epic fantasy tapestry. This unique perspective creates a fresh approach to the genre that is both epic in its scope and dark in its nature. Join Captain Aldric Herboren as he struggles to survive through an Orcish invasion whilst battling his inner demons. Are his dreams a grim reminder of a haunting past or something far more sinister? Beware the Phantoms of War.
