As he stood in the alley, Sethlyn contemplated the task at hand. This was the job to finish his career. Soon, “the Shadow Elf”, or Pale Death as he was also called, would step down. It was said where he traveled that Death wore a blue cloak. But now the burden of that cloak was almost unbearable. The only hint of joy for him was the thought that the steps he heard coming up the alley would finish it. What Sethlyn didn’t know, was that this was only the beginning of the most important job of his life. More than just a job, it was a quest; a quest for redemption. And unlike other quests that could have killed him, this one intended to consume him.
This is Matthew's second novel. This novel takes great pains to develop full characters with which we can laugh, cry, identify and empathize. The characters grab the reader and don’t let go until the plot reaches its end.

"Excellent Read" I was really impressed at how well the characters were developed and matured with you through the story. The pace and style of writing made it easy to get caught up in the storyline without getting buried in mundane details. Overally I would reccomend this book to ANY fantasy fan!
"Captivating!" Matthew really knows how to make the reader care about the characters. I was really drawn into this book and felt like I really knew the characters. I cared about what happened to them...they had me laughing, crying and hanging on the edge of my seat. I was sad when I was finished reading it because I wanted more...perhaps a sequel??
