When a dark power rises, only a cursed prince can stand against it. Epic fantasy as only New York Times bestselling author Jack Conner could write it.

Baleron is the youngest son of the king of Havensrike, a land eternally at war with the sinister empire of Oslog to the south, ruled by the Dark Lord himself. Baleron, a womanizer and rogue, the black sheep of the royal family one step from being kicked out of the castle, longs to redeem himself in his father's eyes. But when his beautiful sister Rolenya is seized by the dark powers, the thralls of the Dark Lord call out to Baleron in worship, calling him the Chosen One of their Master. What can they mean?

As if that weren't bad enough, the gears of war begin to turn, and the legions of Oslog pour forth from their lairs to make war upon the free peoples of the North. If Baleron can't save his sister and unlock the secret of his nature, the Dark Lord will sweep the world in shadow.

Shadow of the Black Tower is the third volume in the dark epic fantasy series War of the Black Tower by USA Today and New York Times bestselling author Jack Conner. With the darkness and grit of George R. R. Martin and the sweeping adventure of J. R. R. Tolkien, Shadow of the Black Tower features grand set pieces, epic battles, operatic action and the best dragon since Smaug. If you like thrilling sword and sorcery adventure with amazing twists and turns you won't see coming, don't miss out on this unique series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really good trilogy
Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2014

Good book. Again, medium size around 250 pages, edited well and a good read for adults and older teens. The main character, Baleron continues to try and fight his curse that was given to him by the "spawn of hell" but he's losing. People he cares about continue to die. He feels responsible. The "evil ones" army lays siege to both of the  cities that protect the gateway to hell and "he" who was imprisoned there long ago. Baleron finds out that one of the people he loves is still alive but held captive by the "evil one". Now he must decide if he will be the "doom" of mankind, his father, the king,  the elves, and the world in order to save this person from the torments of hell. I will say this, the book goes pretty much how you'd want, with the exception of lots of people dying, however his love interest and the end are about what you'd expect without any real surprises. For me, this was good because I wasn't mad at the ending. I like books that don't leave me feeling mad or sad. This book does this and more!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not a bad overall story...
Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2014

Well, it’s over and none too soon. It’s a story of confrontations, death, and torture. Again, I may mention stuff that could be considered spoilers.

First thing I must mention here is that I’m thoroughly annoyed that no where on the book cover does it give you the volume number. Sure, it’s in the description when buying, but once you have all three in your Kindle library, there’s no way to tell them apart. Having the same cover and title doesn’t bother me at all, but the volume number should be listed on the cover somewhere!

At this point in the story, I’m done with the Doom. Is so ridiculously obvious, yet everyone still lets him in their confidences, a nasty idiocy that started showing itself in book two. Now, it’s full blown lunacy! I’m sitting there rolling my eyes. Sure, give Baleron a sword and see what happens, you idiots.

That said, there are some very sad scenes in this book and it truly earns its place in dark fantasy. Still loved the gore. And despite my beefs with parts of the story, I really felt bad for Baleron and the stuff he had to endure.

The ending was drawn out. I was 70% in and feeling like at any moment it would be the final confrontation. Be prepared for a lengthy string of climatic events.

Also, I felt everything got a little redundant in the writing and story. After reading all three, it kinda seemed like we never moved anywhere. The characters never really changed, except maybe Baleron. Yet, do we really know? We never saw him placed back in a comfy home with all the old temptations to see if how he perceives himself in book three is actually who he turns into. Again, I never got the feeling we evolved completely. Furthermore, there was nothing new to the storyline. Same ol' good guys, same ol' bad guys. I didn't really learn anything new, there wasn't a lot of character growth, and nothing shocking. Well, one thing might be considered shocking, but I kinda saw it coming, so it didn't surprise me as much. I guess, in the end, I just wanted something a little more complex to separate each book.

So in conclusion to the overall series, they were incredibly fast reads (average of 250 pages each), and it was an entertaining story that helped me get through a rather lazy weekend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow, what a ride!
Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2014

This book just grabs you and holds on tight. it is very well written and well paced. The protagonist, a "black sheep" Prince moves from the life of a aimless philanderer to a well intentioned, cursed ever suffering quasi hero. There is a very dark mood to this book, that none the less, is always on the verge of hopeful, just to be beaten down again.

I read all 3, one after another, and was just pulled in and held there.

You will not be disappointed!

5.0 out of 5 stars The black tower
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 14, 2016

Wow this was my favourite of the three books. The onus being on the characters not the war. The pace of this book flew from one excitement to another creating a rollercoaster of feeling, question and longing. It was truly an edge of the seat nailbiter ending and the romance wether dark or light was heartfelt. Thoroughly recommend this trilogy.

A good but very very very dark fantasy trilogy. The book and story are strong but I would personally have liked a touch of humour (Think Prince of Thorns) just to lighten the load.
