Seven of Shadow

The island of Starfall is sinking. The Shadow is pouring forth. The Light has found its champions. The Shields of Sularil return from a much needed holiday to meet an old enemy who pleads with them to save the island of Starfall from sinking. They knew such an outcome was possible, and now that the reality approaches, the Shields begin gearing up to take on the Seven of Shadow, primordial fiends who desire nothing less than the destruction of the Light. As the Shields hunt down the Seven, they gather new allies, uncover old secrets, and discover the Sunforged - powerful weapons and armor blessed to beat back the Shadow. In the Shields of Sularil series, journalism and fiction mingle to tell the tale of a role-playing adventure years in the making. Author and game master Adam Thomas builds the world, the players live in it, and these pages contain the final chapters of the chronicle of their missions, as they face seven archdemons bent on calamitous purpose. If you've never played a tabletop role-playing game, what are you waiting for? Adam Thomas created the land of Sularil in 2015 as a setting for his first ever Dungeons and Dragons™ campaign. Ever since, he has been discovering the lore and history of this high fantasy realm through writing and role-playing. He counts among his heroes J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, and Patrick Rothfuss, whose works have inspired the setting of Sularil, as well as the heart, soul, and spirit of her peoples. Adam's other novels include The Islands of Shattered Glass (2019), True Sight (2019), The Halfling Contagion (2018), The Jeweled City (2018), The Storm Curtain (2017) and Torniel (2016). He lives in Mystic, Connecticut, with his wife Leah and their twins.
