As the Shadow Rises is the spectacular second novel in Katy Rose Pool’s Age of Darkness trilogy – a YA fantasy blockbuster packed with magic, prophecy and adventure.

Katy Rose Pool ‘s showstopping fantasy debut There Will Come a Darkness began an epic tale of thrilling magic, ancient prophecy and five lives who could stop the approaching Age of Darkness – or unleash it.

Now the adventure continues in As the Shadow Rises, as the forces of light and darkness collide – and the end of the world begins.
