Tom Bielawski is a breath of fresh air in the world of fantasy writers. A Tide of Shadows (The Chronicles of Llars) is an epic fantasy adventure, full of action and a with a great plot.Carym of Hyrum is our protagonist. He stands wrongly accused of rebellion and murder and is very nearly executed by a band of rebels who he hates. The irony is that now he is obliged to reward the criminals for rescuing him. They want him to embark on a perilous adventure to find a vial of water in the legendary Everpool.Carym is hunted by a dark wizard and his hordes who also seek the Everpool. Carym must overcome many an obstacle on his exciting and mysterious journey.The book is really long, which is great because it is an epic adventure that you don't want to end and it is never boring. There is always some action and the characters are believable and easy to relate to. The main character is a likeable rogue. Although the story is a fantasy it is always convincing. The action scenes are very gripping.I'm definitely going to look out for more from this writer and hope to see the sequel to this totally engaging tome soon.Highly recommended. Just buy it. You won't regret it.
