“A Stranger’s Shadow. Book 1” is a fantasy novel by Max Gudvin, the first book of the eponymous cycle, genre: action fantasy, adventurous fantasy, RealRPG.
The world is arranged not the way you thought… or think.
People, animals—yes, they all die. But their personalities, character, and abilities continue to live in their shadows, which go to the Hall of Sighs, the place where they wait for their rebirth—where no one and never will hear any of their desires, prayers, or tears.
Until their shadows are reborn, special guards called sellars protect them. These are former shadows of people who, in life, became legends and heroes—or, as many believe today, myths.
In the universe, everything is connected: everything somehow comes from something and strives toward something. Every action has a purpose. Even a simple flap of a butterfly’s wings has a goal. Which one? Nobody knows except the very Nature of life and death.
But what happened in the Hall of Sighs threatened to break the world’s foundations and the very essence of cosmic balance.
Shadows… escaped.
