A hard science-fiction series with a post apocalyptic fantasy feel, the Shadeward Saga is set on the imaginary planet Esurio, in orbit about the red dwarf Lacaille 9352, a real star just over 10 lightyears from Earth. The planet is tidally locked; one side always faces the star, and the other is plunged into eternal darkness. Only between the two extremes is life possible. Long ago it was colonized, but knowledge of those events has since fallen into myth and legend...
"The whole Shadeward series is a beautiful story of love, war...betrayal, pain and ultimately understanding and reconciliation. It spans sci-fi and fantasy in a twisting turning sometimes shocking tale of hidden power and murderous ambition seen through the eyes of some of the most compelling and memorable characters I've ever read. The story takes you through an emotional rollercoaster never really knowing for sure who you can trust or where loyalties lie until well towards the end of the series which builds to an incredibly moving finale."
"I haven't read many books that have brought me to tears, but this did on more than one occasion. Powerfully written right up to the end, I will miss the many characters that I grew to love and loathe over this series. Story writing at its very finest."
"This series couldn't have ended in a much more spectacular fashion. All of the strings are tied up nicely, and for a story that is so epic in its scope, it hits all of the right emotional beats. This story has everything. It is also, in no uncertain terms, the end of the journey. Kiri, Zoella and Meru won't grace another page again. But, with the way their tales are told, I think I'm okay with that."
