More on Shadowmancer
Description from Wikipedia:
Shadowmancer is a fantasy novel by Graham Taylor (better known as GP Taylor), first published in 2003. It is a Christian allegory in the form of a fantasy adventure, akin to C. S. Lewis' The Chronicles of Narnia. Taylor wrote the book to counteract what he saw as a rise in occultism among children through books such as Harry Potter. It is the first of four books generally referred to as The Shadowmancer Quartet and sometimes inaccurately referred to as The Shadowmancer Trilogy.
Two thematic sequels named Wormwood and Tersias were also released soon after. A sequel named The Shadowmancer Returns: The Curse of Salamander Street that follows on where Shadowmancer left off has also recently been released in the United Kingdom versions.
The book has garnered some controversy for it's negative portrayal of Witches and pagans, whom it claims have been tricked by and worship the Devil. Despite this, Taylor claims to be "an authority on Wicca and paganism".
