Why Kev is excited about this book:
“I’m incredibly excited about Shadow of the Hidden, firstly because it’s my debut novel. Beyond that, I’ve been carrying around the story and the sceneries within the book in my head for more than a decade. It’s just taken time, and research, for the pieces to fall into place in the right way. I’m also excited because at the heart of this story is friendship across barriers of nationality and culture, and I feel that, in this era when the powers that be are hell bent on pushing us into animosity towards one another to deflect from their own failings, this is a tale that will resonate with people, remind them to find similarities as well as differences with others, as well as scaring the hell out of them.”
Releasing 19 March 2024 from Brigids Gate Press, Shadow of the Hidden by Kev Harrison is available for pre-order now.
