It’s January of 1704, and Matthew Corbett continues his mission to Italy, accompanied by Hudson Greathouse and former enemy Professor Fell. They seek Brazio Valeriani and information about the mirror created by his father, the sorcerer Ciro. Legend claims the mirror can be used to summon demons from beyond.

But fate has other plans for Matthew as their ship is disabled by a pod of whales, and they seek refuge on a secluded island. The islanders welcome them with a massive feast, but all is not what it seems. As the island pulls them deeper into its influence, the castaways struggle to maintain their grip on reality, even their very identity. Matthew must keep his wits about him and solve the mystery enshrouding the other side of the island, where an active volcano looms and a secretive creature lurks.

The King of Shadows is the eighth installment in best-selling author Robert McCammon’s acclaimed series of historical thrillers featuring Matthew Corbett, a brave “problem-solver” who now faces a challenging foe that threatens to take over his most valuable resource: his own mind.

Excellent as usual. A long historical mystery starting the famous Matthew Corbet. But..the author chose this book to dig a little deeper into some of the characters. Stick with it though because it all comes together nicely. Great narration. I wish the next one came out tomorrow!!

Excellent!! As usual!…but…

Great story from McCammon - and nicely continues the Matthew Corbett saga. I also loved the origin stories of various characters in flashback - great to see some detail on characters otherwise seen as villains but lacking the why/how they got to that place. Looking forward to the next one!

Great Story + Background Origin Stories
