It tells of his years working and learning on a Tresson plantation until a dark day of vengeance and bloodshed finally set him free. Under the learned hand of the one human who believed in his potential, the young malthrope would instead be given the wisdom to take his first steps on the long journey to his destiny.The Rise of the Red Shadow chronicles the early life of one of the most mysterious figures of the The Book of Deacon trilogy, the creature called Lain. The beast was to be sold for a handful of silver, but fate intervened in the form of an old blind slave named Ben. Had it been a human, it might have been treated with compassion, but in the eyes of human society a malthrope was a monster, a mix of fox and man believed to be a murderer and thief by its very nature.
It was there that a pair of trackers, eager to retrieve a lost slave, instead found an orphaned malthrope. For the warrior who would come to be known as the fearsome Red Shadow, the story began in a forgotten glade deep in the land of Tressor.
