Out of Shadows
A killer haunted by blood and death, plagued by a lifetime of bad decisions; Brennan Redhands is a failure.
When his daughter Gwenna is kidnapped, Brennan must embark on a bloody quest of redemption in a bid to save her.
But Gwenna possesses a magic that threatens the whole world and with old feuds that refuse to die, an ancient sword with a will of its own, and an insane boy warlord hell-bent on the apocalypse; all seem determined to get in Brennan’s way.
Yet a secret festers in the recesses of Brennan’s mind and it's tearing him apart. The most terrifying enemy of all is the voice in his head - if he can’t put that down - the world will fall to darkness.
