Book Four in The Mad Shadows Quartet -- All The Colors Of Darkness -- is now available in paperback and Kindle editions.
Two years following the Battle for Echo Gate, Dorgo returns home to Valdar, hoping to start a new life. But Life has other plans for him. After his near-death experience at the Well of Tears, having suffered the wounds, horrors and trauma of war, he is a changed man. As he struggles with a growing sense of melancholia, he finds himself caught up in the hunt for a necromancer using trained zombies to steal Dragon Eye diamonds, the rarest and most valuable jewels in the world. Then, after a portrait and landscape artist is found horribly murdered, Dorgo is called upon to find the shaman and destroy the demon he unleashed — a demon using polychromatic ectoplasm to murder all the painters in Valdar. Finally, Dorgo and his companions embark upon a treasure hunt to locate three chests of meteoric crystals believed to possess magical properties. But things turn dark when they decide to help two grieving fathers in a distant barony called the Court of the Crimson King, where they encounter two new breeds of the Undead unlike anything they have ever known. Dorgo must come to grips with the fact that he’s no longer the man he used to be in order to save the baron’s people from a plague of ghastly death and unholy resurrection . . . and the mysterious crystals are the key to it all.
Gothic Noir that straddles Heroic Fantasy and Sword & Sorcery fiction, Mad Shadows Book Four: All the Colors of Darkness, is filled with action, adventure, human drama, romance and tragedy, and a cast of unforgettable characters.
“The intricate plot, colorful personalities and elaborate descriptions, which include details from all five senses, combine to weave a rich tapestry of imagination. I have never run across a wordsmith more skilled in pulling me into a strange new fantasy world and making it seem as though I’ve been magically and instantly transported there. Kudos to Joe Bonadonna and his muse, Dorgonius Mikawber.”
— Margie, author of the Demonverse Series, Amazon review.
