‘…indescribably addictive. I can heartily recommend both Shadow and Pattern to fantasy connoisseurs who prefer a little more bite from their fiction. Do try this most excellent of sagas. I really don’t think you’ll be disappointed.’ – THE ALIEN ONLINE

‘This is exactly what the fantasy genre needs. Mature, confident prose from a talented writer…compelling, assured, intelligent – five stars’ – SFX

In a world he does not know, Poldarn’s future is uncertain. Pursued by invisible enemies, and haunted by the demons of his past, nobody can be trusted – not even himself, it seems.

Attempting to piece together his own life from whatever scattered fragments he can find and dreams that hide as much as they reveal has brought him nothing but trouble.

Now all he craves is peace. But will he find it on the island he believes to be his childhood home? Or will this place hold more terrors for him to confront?

K.J. Parker’s SHADOW began a ground-breaking new series that takes fantasy into remarkable new territory. Now, with PATTERN, the extraordinary story of Poldarn takes a new shape.

Reviews

THE ALIEN ONLINE
Definitely on of the most entertaining and ultimately satisfying reads that I've had the pleasure to enjoy during the past few years.
DREAMWATCH
When so many fantasy sagas are tired, warmed-over affairs, a writer like K.J. Parker is more of a hurricane than a breath of fresh air.
