Beware the shadow of many faces, but fear the master of many places…

It’s Monday morning, and I’ve recovered a strange glyph-covered chest from a landfill. By Monday afternoon, someone’s stolen it from my warded loft.

Before I can suss out who, why, and most importantly, how, I’m neck-deep with the NYPD on a murder case. A bigshot CEO is dead in his penthouse, his kidneys harvested in a way that screams black magic. Only there’s no magic in evidence.

The two crimes connect somehow, and the key may be an old explorer’s club in the heart of Manhattan. But this mage needs to get moving. More victims are turning up sans organs, and twice now I’ve found myself in a shadow realm—a darker, more dangerous version of the city, where a mysterious entity wants me dead.

And here I thought the summer’s biggest chore would be persuading my talking cat to play nice with my wife.

Spoiler alert: she’s still Tabitha.

Shadow Duel is the 9th novel in the quarter-million selling Croftverse. If you like occult action, spell-crackling suspense, and moments of heart, heroism, and all-out laughter, you’ll love Prof Croft!

Brief content visible, double tap to read full content.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Brad Magnarella writes urban fantasy for the same reason most read it – to explore worlds where vampires and shifters walk city streets, magic crackles from fingertips, cats talk (some excessively), and good prevails against all odds. It’s shamelessly fun.

His two main series, Prof Croft and Blue Wolf, make up the growing Croftverse, with over a quarter-million books sold to date and an Independent Audiobook Award nomination. A third series is planned for 2023.

Hopelessly nomadic, Brad can be found in a rented room overseas or hiking America's backcountry.

Exciting, action-packed, and worth the read many times over!

Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2021

Verified Purchase

Beautifully written, every bit of snark from Tabitha and the dry humor of Magnarella makes this series one 9f the best I've read so far! I purchased the books on a whim because they were only 99cents for the whole shebang, and I gotta tell ya, IT WAS WORTH WVERY PENNY! I didn't stop readi g until the entire series was done! Can't wait for more Prof. Croft to manifest...
If you like this genre, you should read this series, Tabitha alone is worth it!

THE CROFTVERSE EXPANDS AND, MAYBE, SMILES ON OUR HERO

Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2022

Verified Purchase

Magnarella continues to produce exciting, frightening, uniquely crafted worlds. Everson has to think multidimensionally to solve an extremely mystifying series of murders. He has a wife and son and one on the way that are his ground and anchor and a potential apprentice worthy of him. Magnarella has Everson deliver an awesome condensation of humanities power of belief.
This book reads like movingly down hill at an ever steepening slope until you're nearly falling toward the climax. Another great read.

Excellent book worth way more than you pay

Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2021

I think every book in the Prof Croft series has been better than the last and # 9, Shadow Duel, is the best -- so far. Brad Magnarella sharpens his writing skills with each story and he has got a fine edge on this one: Wonderfully developed, relatable characters; A fast paced, page turning story with obvious attention to details.; A solid, fascinating overlying plot with some excellent plot twists.

Shadow Duel was fun to read and I look forward to the next Prof Croft story.

Casting your own shadow

What would happen if you didn’t have one? Read this book if you want an answer.

Heck, read this book if you just want to know what happens between Mae and Bree-Yark, or how you can remove someone’s kidneys without leaving a mark or a trace of magic.

You know what? Just read this book. We’ve got some new villains to replace old ones, and they are even tougher. But so is our hero and his team.

Read and Enjoy!

I love Prof Croft!!!!

Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2021

I'm totally loving reading these stories about Everson. He's grown up a lot since the beginning, he's got more control of his magic and he's better prepared for everything that could come up. I'm totally loving Bree Yarn and off would be fun hashing him with his own story too... Hint hint!! The bombshell at the end of this one wasn't surprising but I can't wait to see where this goes!!

This is book nine of the Prof Croft series and I have to say I loved it. What I love about this series is every book is fresh with new stories and ways for Croft to find himself in interesting situations. Brad Magnarella has such an interesting and fun imagination. I highly recommend this book and all of his books. They are well worth your reading time.

I love this series. Never boring or redundant . A lot of action but not too violent. I always buy the audio with the book and the narration in this series is very well done. I look forward to book 10.

Whie newly married life may be blissful and easy, Everson's professional life is far from
the same.

Not one, but several enigmas present themselves to him. Are they connected? Is this some
concerted effort by an unseen, unknown enemy? The biggest question is, is this personal
or is Croft just in the way of the shadowy goings on?

An extremely well paced, well written and compelling tale. Mystery and action enough to
satisy any reader.

Can't wait for the next one.

So I have just finished book 9, I read the whole series in about 2 weeks and this is what I thought.
What an amazing series! It doesn't rely on all the same old tropes that others in this genre do. Yes there are some tropes but I think Brad chose them very well. There are plenty of twists and turns throughout the series so far, and the ending of this book was a huge cliffhanger, and now I have to wait for the next. I feel like I'm getting withdrawal from them already!

Brilliant as usual.

Read this originally as an ARC but have now purchased it. Prof Croft books are my favourite of this author's different series and I think improve with each one. I loved this book and it certainly had a surprise at the end. Can't wait for the next one!!
