Here's the set-up:

Dr Ernst Cadman has led a quiet life, but that’s how he’s wanted it all these hundreds of years. With a secret like his, anonymity and caution are the best friends a man can have. Nothing could tempt him from the safety of his parasitic existence at the heart of the city of Sarum—at least nothing this side of the Abyss.... Cadman stakes everything on obtaining the artefact that once destroyed an entire civilization, but in so doing he draws the gaze of a sinister presence from beyond the stars.... Meanwhile, Deacon Shader, veteran of the war against the undead armies of the Liche Lord, has one last fight in him. This time it’s just a tournament, with the prize a sword steeped in myth. Win or lose, Shader intends to defy his Templum master and retire to the Abbey of Pardes.... When a horror from the past wrecks Shader’s monastic dream and leads him to plague torn Sarum, he finds an ancient power unleashed that imperils more than he could possibly imagine - a power now in the hands of Dr Cadman.Gods tremble, and worlds will fall unless Shader can conquer his personal demons and accept the fate he’s been prepared for since birth."Cadman's Gambit" is the first book of the six part SHADER series by D.P. Prior. An excerpt of Book 2, "Best Laid Plans", is at the end of the Kindle version of this book. There are also excerpts from three other great fantasy books.... The Kindle version also includes the stunning cover art of Mike Nash, two beautifully rendered maps, and a clickable table of contents.

One Reviewer Notes:

Cadman's Gambit is a gripping fantasy novel set about 1000 years in Earth's future where technology has been suppressed but magic and trans-dimensional science still wield considerable force over the world. Privileged to be a beta reader for this book, I found Cadman's Gambit a pure pleasure from start to finish. From the outset, Prior captures the reader's imagination with the rich presentation and description of other-worldly Sektis Gandaw and his quest for the hidden pieces of the Ain Gana artifact before expertly switching gears to reveal the swordsman hero, Deacon Shader, doing what he does best--sword fighting. Prior masterfully leads you into this mysterious new world, steeped in intrigue and danger, quickly immersing you the story. Once you start you lose yourself completely in the illusion--a sign of real brilliance and talent!
