  About the book: Aberthol Nauile doesn’t know that he once led legions in a war that raged since the dawn of time, against an enemy that cannot be killed. He doesn’t know that he rode on a dragon with his father, and saw his mother die while giving birth to him. He doesn’t know that he once saved his great, great, great grandfather by defeating the black enemy on the slopes of a volcano. Aberthol doesn’t know that he beheld the creation of the world, as his grandfather eight generations before took the planet ravaged by a war of the gods and began anew. All he knows is that he awoke in a coffin in a tomb, and now the whole world thinks he is their savior. All he really wants to know is his name, and why he keeps hearing voices in his head.Get Shadow Swarm through Amazon or Barnes & Noble. 



About the author: D. Robert Pease has been interested in creating worlds since childhood. From building in the sandbox behind his house, to drawing fantastical worlds with paper and pencil, there has hardly been a time he hasn't been off on some adventure in his mind, to the dismay of parents and teachers alike. Also, since the moment he could read, books have consumed vast swaths of his life. From The Mouse and the Motorcycle, to The Lord of the Rings, worlds just beyond reality have called to him like Homer's Sirens. It's not surprising then he chose to write stories of his own. Each filled with worlds just beyond reach, but close enough we can all catch a glimpse of ourselves in the characters he brings to life. Connect with D. Robert on his website, Facebook, Twitter,or GoodReads..
My Review:
This is a great epic that has something for everyone. There is reincarnation, a damsel that is not really in distress but rather is a guide, dragons, and more. I was hooked by the first few chapters when Aberthol awoke in his coffin and had no idea who he was. He also hears voices and I had no idea if they were from friend or foe. There was also a lot of action and someone dies at the beginning of the book. The description was really good, and I felt as though I could the tombs with the pictures and names. The artwork seemed beautiful, and majestic. I hope that this is the first book of many. I am giving this book a 5/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own. I would love this book as a movie as well.
