About the Books (Synopsis)
Set in the acclaimed world of Midkemia, the Conclave of Shadows trilogy follows the brutal and thrilling life of Kieli, a young boy who is the sole survivor of a massacre that wipes out his entire Orosini tribe. Rescued and recruited by a secretive, powerful organization known as the Conclave of Shadows, the boy is transformed into Talwin Hawkins (Talon of the Silver Hawk)—a lethal operative and the premier swordsman of his age. Driven by a burning desire for vengeance against the evil Duke of Olasko, Tal must master the deadly arts of infiltration, survive imprisonment in the Fortress of Despair, and navigate the treacherous political landscapes of two continents to enact his ultimate revenge.
Archival Preservation
◦ Archival Sleeve: Every single dust jacket is protected by a professional-grade, 1.5-mil clear Mylar archival cover.
◦ Adhesive-Free Policy: My archival process utilizes zero adhesives, tape, or glues directly on the dust jacket or book, ensuring the integrity and value of the original materials are never compromised.
◦ Archival Backing: The jackets are supported by acid-free, pH-neutral backing paper to preserve paper quality and prevent any toning. Note: The Mylar is fitted naturally with unfinished creases to prevent spine stress and to allow the buyer to make fine visual adjustments to the backing height to their personal preference.
◦ Structural Integrity: Stored upright in a smoke-free, climate-controlled environment.
