"Shadow of the Son, with its mixture of mystery, romance, intrigue, secret family stories, and those small and large power struggles that are revealed, will light up the days and nights of its readers making it, without a doubt, one of their best reads of the year."-María Cristina Restrepo, Novelist and Literary Translator What if curses are real? Shadow of the Son is Book 2 in the award-winning Eye of the Moon series.
It is preceded by Book 1 Eye of the Moon and followed by Book 3 Dark of the Earth. Twenty years ago, Lady Alice died under mysterious circumstances. Her ex-husband, Lord Bromley, was said to have played a part, but nothing was proven. When Lord Bromley arrives at Rhinebeck, he sets up a chain of events from which there is no escape. But what does Lord Bromley really want? He says he wants certain artifacts and books from the secret library that are rightfully his, but most of all, he says he wants forgiveness and to make peace with his former wife, long since dead.
But what if the dead want neither? What then? Shadow of the Son is a complex psychological thriller about family drama, gothic mystery, and extraordinary magic that will captivate and enchant you. Get it now "Shadow of the Son is the novel that the readers of Eye of the Moon have been impatiently waiting for.. The plot unfolds at the same palatial estate on the banks of the Hudson River, a bucolic setting crisscrossed with mysterious undertones that can be at times benevolent or threatening..
Surprises follow one after another, making it difficult for the reader to put down the book.. The doors will open to reveal new secrets, all of which make this book, like the previous one, a true thriller. "This is a novel that wholly fulfills its mission: the telling of a story in the best possible way. Written with mastery characterized by his elegant prose and a fine, penetrating humor that is at times sharp, yet always intelligent, Ivan Obolensky develops a brilliant narrative with a sure hand that does not let up for a moment.." -María Cristina Restrepo

Biographie de Ivan Obolensky

Ivan Obolensky grew up in high society, often regaled with the mystical ghost stories and fantastic intrigue of his aristocratic and trailblazing ancestors. These tales inspired him at an early age and colored the formation and background of his award-winning debut novel, Eye of the Moon, and its sequel, Shadow of the Son. Some elements from his life, and his visits to "Rhinebeck" as a child, influenced the novels in unexpected ways.
Considered gothic mysteries of a new class by readers and reviewers alike, Eye of the Moon and Shadow of the Son primarily take place in a single location, and involve universal themes such as the price of vows, of gifts, of curses, and of settling scores; revenge, mercy, and friendship; love, abandonment, and trust. Readers commented on the exceptional character development, sharp and witty dialogue, and magnificent settings, as they are transported into a fascinating universe that unfolds before their eyes.
Educated in the US and England, Ivan's roots in writing were poetry, nonfiction, and short fiction. His first stories featured the main characters from Eye of the Moon, Johnny and Percy, in the escapades of their youth. Ivan's insatiable curiosity has led him on a path of self-study in diverse subjects. In 2011, he wrote articles on the social sciences, which are translated into Latin American Spanish and published online.
He has credited his work in nonfiction as critical in developing his skills of weaving diverse subjects together into one good tale. The authors that influenced Ivan the most are Jane Austen, Raymond Chandler, O. Henry, P. G. Wodehouse, Charles Dickens, Viktor Frankl, J. R. Tolkein, Edith Wharton, and Lao Tzu (The Tao Te Ching, the Stephen Mitchell translation). Fans of the classics and modern thrillers will enjoy the work of Ivan Obolensky, in his multilayered fiction or nonfiction storytelling.
Ivan lives with his wife, Mary Jo. He enjoys photography, reading, cooking, music, and riding his motorcycle. To find out more about Ivan, visit his website for his blog, updates about projects, and fun stories behind the scenes of his novels.
