In the Shadow of the Black Flag
A man caught between light and dark. As monsters and mayhem run rampant, can an outlaw knight keep evil from consuming the land?

Adrian Navarro won't rest until the realm is safe. Outcast despite his fealty to the kingdom, the determined warrior struggles to hunt down and close magical portals before they can spew out nightmarish creatures. After confronting a fanatic attempting to open a demonic gateway, he's horrified to realize that a mythical city ruled by the souls of the damned may be brought into reality.

Investigating the sinister guild of mages, he scours for any clues to the mystical key needed to slip past the stronghold's wards. But he's left reeling when others beat him to the prize, and in desperation negotiates an alliance among pirates and thieves—even as a hellish armada strikes.

With malignant entities closing in from all sides, will Adrian's quest end in failure and death?

In the Shadow of the Black Flag is the sweeping second book in the Legacy of Light & Shadow epic fantasy series. If you like tenacious protagonists, classic adventures bursting with action, and blood-chilling stakes, you'll love Steven McKinnon's sword and sorcery tale.

Praise for Symphony of the Wind:

"This book is insane and it has everything... You want death? Bucketloads. You want humour? Laughs galore. You want characters to love like they're your own child? Take a handful... To say that it's action packed is an understatement... I flat-out loved it. 9/10" Fantasy Book Review

"McKinnon is an extremely talented author, who handles the many layers and plotlines very well... An awesome first book. 4.5/5" RockStarlit Book Asylum

"The pace is unbelievable... You hold these characters close your heart, only to be propelled into danger with them. Some are saved, some of them aren't, but most of them experience some gut-wrenching, heart-stopping moments. A wonderful first novel in the series." Book Odyssey

"One of the best put together books I have read in a long time. This debut fantasy reads more like a book from a seasoned author. I'd give this book a rating of 5/5." Darkside Reads

Praise for Wrath of Storms:

"A worthy sequel to Symphony of the Wind, as fast and deadly as wildfire, full of heart and humour. Wrath of Storms has easily made to on to my Best Books of 2019 list. 9/10" - Emma Davis, Fantasy Book Review

"Very well written... Plenty of twists and turns... The ending kept me on the edge of my seat. So damn good. 5/5 " - Superstardrifter.com

"A high-octane, action-fantasy adventure laced with dry humor, a diverse cast of heroes and villains, and an infectious case of 'just-one-more-chapter' syndrome. 8.8/10" - Adam Weller, Fantasy Book Review

"McKinnon has created a vast, varied world that feels totally believable with a ton of history and culture... Wrath of Storms delivers on the promise of book 1's ending by increasing the scope and delivering endless action, drama, and fun." - Travis M. Riddle, author of Spit and Song

"McKinnon blows my mind how easily he crafts this world. Wrath of Storms adds a lot of depth and more twists and turns than a mountain road. 5/5" - Darkside Reads

"Wrath of Storms is a masterpiece and establishes Steven McKinnon as the heir to Joe Abercrombie's throne" - Phil Parker, author of The Bastard From Fairyland

"Absolutely ****ing relentless. 4/5" - Book Odyssey

Praise for Choir of the Damned:

"Imaginative chaos bleeds through every chapter, and while this story is sadly at its end, there's ample reason to hope for future volumes of this world to explore. Fortune find us all!" 9/10 - Adam Weller, Fantasy Book Review
