About the author

Every story is a unusual gift. One that can mesmerize and enrich the soul with its mystery.  I see myself as an author with the dual role of a fantasy engineer to help create intriguing plot, amazing suspense, and wrap it up with the right words to welcome any curious soul (both online and in a bookstore) intrigued by what lies beneath the book cover.

Hi there, my name is Bernard Godfrey and Of Fire and Shadows, my debut novel, is about two unexpected misfits who are thrown into troublesome paths while their kingdom's own issues are approaching a boiling point. 

When I'm not writing you can find me at the gym, enjoying a good food spot, reading a novel, watching the occasional anime series or reading an interesting historical fiction book on my Ipad. 

Book Summary - Of Fire and Shadow

This tale reveals the life of a young orphan struggling to fly in a bleak sky choked with deceitful arrows and unpredictable winds.

Wary yet unbroken, Felan suddenly finds himself thrust into a strange, new world of shadows under the tutelage of Damian Swifthands, a stranger from a mysterious guild armed with a legendary magical dagger.

In the same city, Lucien, the son of a disgraced highborn house, battles through noble feuds and a dysfunctional home to seize his chance to rise as a knight. Bold yet reckless, Lucien chases after an ambitious plan to revive an ancient mercenary company despite uneasy alliances, deceit and betrayal.

Haunted by Damian’s death, Felan yearns to join his master’s guild but has yet to take a life and his desire to overcome this flaw leads to his baptism by shadow, iron and blood. The two youths tread carefully on the road to their destinies in Of Fire & Shadow. Fate will tell if their stars ascend to glorious heights or plummet into the shadowy vale of bones and broken dreams.

The cover art and font choices are exceptional. The storytelling is well-paced and the fight scenes (though rarely occurring) are exciting. Character dialogue always felt purposeful and intentional. Felan will be appreciated by Young Adult fans as a protagonist for his perseverance and determination.
