[Eye of the Moon 02] • Shadow of the Son

“Ivan Obolensky possesses the narrative magic of great novelists, due to his ability to put together scenes, create dramatic tension, and slide characters into unexpected situations. The surprising succession of events prevents us from putting the book down… Obolensky invokes an experience that the reader, beyond just following the plot, lives the events as an exceptional witness.”

-Marta Botero, Journalist

“The first ‘stand-alone’ novel, Eye of the Moon , is a page-turner that weaves together stories and characters that will leave you wanting more. That's exactly what happened with the sequel, Shadow of the Son , which does not disappoint! I was literally up till 2 am for three nights. Set in historic Rhinebeck NY, two young men brought up as brothers pick up from the first novel and plan for a weekend of uninvited guests, aristocratic entanglements, paranormal visions, magical potions, and a sequence of events that kept my head spinning. Ivan Obolensky is a master wordsmith and storyteller. I left, still wanting more.”
