Shadow of the Emperor. Book 1

“The Emperor’s Shadow” is a science-fiction novel by Dmitry Raspopov, the first book in the eponymous cycle, a genre of action fantasy, heroic fantasy, and dark fantasy. Love. Love comes in different kinds. There is the kind that lifts people up and makes them do the impossible, and there is the kind that destroys and exposes all the worst in a person. Vicount Henri du Valey experienced both. The first kind elevated him—waking magic in him and sending him to serve the Emperor. The other kind gave birth within him to a personality that will make the whole world tremble. Tremble, enemies—bow down, you disobedient ones—because now with you is the Emperor’s Shadow.
