He has known nothing but darkness for years. Now it’s time to let it consume him. 

After witnessing the brutal death of his brother at the hands of the Steward Knights, Mason Grey turns to vengeance. Using his Gifts to read and control the minds of others, he climbs the ranks of the Dark Army, determined to earn the coveted Shadowstone-a powerful tool against the light-wielding Stewards. But when he is wounded in battle, he finds himself recovering in the home of a chatty peasant girl...without the use of his Gifts. Even worse, the girl mistakes him for one of the Stewards he despises. 

Seria Gayle longs to be seen as more than the town washerwoman. When she finds an injured Steward in the woods, she welcomes the chance to use her healing skills and hopes it will earn her some respect. But as she nurses the sullen stranger back to health, she discovers he is nothing like the knights she has long admired. 

When Mason's true identity is revealed, Seria is devastated and humiliated. But she is offered a chance at redemption by the very prince that Mason hates. Now Mason struggles between two choices: accept the Shadowstone to avenge his brother or pursue this newfound light in the form of a peasant girl. With time running out and war looming, will Mason and Seria defy their own convictions for a chance at love or stand against one another like they've sworn to do?




Fantasy Romance is a genre that I have dug much into. I was intrigued by the Synopsis and Cover for Shadowcast by Crystal D. Grant, so decided to read it. It is Book 1 in the Gateway Trilogy series. 

WOW, I am VERY glad that I had the opportunity to read this book. The book started a little slow but once I got to Chapter 2, the storyline really reeled me in. I really liked that the story was narrated by 2 different characters. The main characters Mason and Seria were a favorite of mine, as they really made the book really interesting. Mason was really dark and had all the characteristics of Utopian Fantasy. Sanjo and Prince were also great characters in the book. I began reading and could not stop until I finished this book. I very rarely get that involved in a Fantasy book, so that speaks volumes. The book is action-packed and really keeps the reader intrigued! This is the debut novel for Crystal D. Grant and she has me excited for the next books in the series! I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Fantasy books! WONDERFUL Book!
