Happy Bookday to friend and colleague Ari Marmell, whose novel, The Conquerer’s Shadow, is loosed upon the world this very day. I blurbed this book and said this:

“The Conqueror’s Shadow is a powerful fantasy, with well drawn heroes and delightfully wicked, yet complicated, villains. Ari Marmell has made his mark in the genre.” –Paul S. Kemp, author of The Erevis Cale Trilogy.

I believe that qualifies as an endorsement.  🙂
