"If The Twilight Zone ever makes a comeback, they need to give J. Patrick Lemarr a call immediately. The man knows how to do creepy, hair-standing-on-end fiction, yet always with a deep moral core that will leave you pondering life's greatest questions. Be sure to share this book with someone you care about, because you're really going to want to talk to someone after reading these stories." - Robin Parrish (from the foreword)J. Patrick Lemarr temporarily leaves behind the fantasy of his Tales of the Evermore series to deliver 15 new tales. Exploring the darkness and light found within humanity and beyond, each story stretches beyond traditional genre boundaries to give us snapshot of the sacred and the profane, the broken and the beautiful. Whether it is the tale of a minister with something to hide or a would-be mass murderer with an imaginary friend, Lemarr uses each new story to reveal the darkness creeping into the edges of our world and the light of friendship, family, and faith that somehow manages to break through it. And wherever darkness and light can both be found, storytellers have always leaned into the dichotomy to craft their SHADOW PLAYS.

Awakening to find himself the captive of sinister forces, a young wizard must use his wits to escape before he and his fellow captive-a pirate Captain several years past his prime-are consumed by The Witches of Greyfolk. With the help of an otherworldly stranger, the boy and pirate must not only save themselves but the small port city that has been menaced by the witches for centuries. What exactly do the witches want from a boy wizard and an aging captain, and who is guiding them from the shadows? "...this is a ripping little yarn with some fascinating surprises. I don't want to ruin any of them, but suffice it to say that it's not as simple as it appears. The story starts with two characters locked in a room, but soon expands into a swashbuckling mini-epic with some nifty left turns." - Andre Salles (from the Foreword)

Returning to the characters introduced to us in Tales of the Evermore Volume One, author J. Patrick Lemarr brings us three new fantasy/adventure tales which further the stories of the young wizard, Azael, his pirate friends, and the mysterious agent of the Evermore, Darke.
