Tears of Rage
This is really great stuff! The characters seem real, three-dimensional people, not typical fantasy types. – James Rollins, Author of The Devil Colony and Map of Bones
An Imbalance of Shadows
“First Chosen is brisk and story-focused, driving from one event to the next with a pace that doesn’t flag and populating each scene with vivid characters in high (and sometimes comic) conflict.” – D.J.Butler, author of Witchy Eye and The Kidnap Plot
From the moment of her birth, Duchess Julianna Taraen has been blessed thrice by seven, seventh by thrice. In her moment of greatest need, Julianna calls upon that blessing during her twenty-first birthday. In doing so, she frees Grandfather Shadow, an ancient god of vengeance, from his thousand-year prison.
In gratitude for his freedom, Grandfather Shadow names Julianna his high priest, not caring for the mortal politics that made it a crime for Julianna’s people to worship any of the greater gods – a crime punishable by the destruction of her soul. Grandfather Shadow commands Julianna to unite his scattered followers and lead his people to greatness once again. When a god of vengeance gives you a command, it’s usually not a wise choice to decline.
Pursued by the followers of the God of Death and Inquisitors of the Kingdom of the Sun, Julianna must learn to use Grandfather Shadow’s gifts and come to terms with her new place in the world.

Once We Were Like Wolves
“This is how it’s done! The characters are well-drawn and the world is truly fascinating, with its talk of gods and miracles. It is an unconventional design for a fantasy novel, and it works very much to the author’s advantage. M Todd Gallowglas is a writer to watch.” – Christopher Kellen, author of The Arbiter Codex
While Julianna and Faelin flee from their enemies, they encounter Grandfather Shadow’s followers for the first time in the small town of Shadybrook. For a time, it seems as if they might finally have found a place of peace and rest, but they soon realize that some of those followers are harboring secrets of their own. Soon, the Brotherhood of the Night and Kingdom Inquisitors descend on Shadybrook. While the battle rages and loyalties are tested, Julianna learns that being the first chosen of the God of Shadows comes with a higher price than she expected. Julianna must survive long enough to learn what it means to truly be the Lord Morigahn.

A chosen one story that breaks new ground. This epic fantasy with a dark edge is filled with magic.

“I wish I could write fight scenes like these.” – Jen Wylie, author of Sweet Light and The Broken Ones
M. Todd Gallowglas has written a compelling tale in An Imbalance of Shadows (Tears of Rage). The world in which he sets the tale is vivid and complex; one in which theology and politics are so intertwined that it is hard to tell where one leaves off and the other begins. – Best in Fantasy Blog
Tears of Rage is a fantastical gritty series about faith, dedication, fear, and perseverance…with realistic characters forced to face their own flaws that are just as dangerous as their enemies. Read it. – Damon Stone, Fantasy Flight Games
