This book was released on 2009-10 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Resurrection of Deacon Shader" was the original story from which developed Prior's acclaimed SHADER series. It has since been replaced by SHADER Book 1, "Cadman's Gambit." The publisher recommends you only buy "The Resurrection of Deacon Shader" if you wish to see how the SHADER series developed from it. Otherwise, it is recommended that you start the series by reading "Cadman's Gambit." Plague strikes at the heart of Sarum and flesh-eating mawgs have been seen in the sewers. As Governor Gen struggles to save the populace, the Abbey of Pardes is attacked by an army of undead and a piece of the legendary Sun Stone is stolen from the Grey Abbot. The holy knight, Deacon Shader, is sent to the plague-city to retrieve it, but he is a man with conflicts of his own, and a destiny that will test his faith to the limits. If Shader should fail, the Sun Stone will fall into the hands of a being from the mists of pre-history who will harness its power to unweave all of Creation. "Rich and varied, touching, maddening, and addicting. Elegant, polished, and believable characters in an amazing world." Archelle Baker (eBook Alchemy) "Ever-widening in its scope - fearless in its telling. I cannot help but be reminded of Stephen King's The Dark Tower series, not just in the interweaving of time epochs and worlds but also in the author's sheer fearlessness. From earth to heaven to alternate worlds, the story is unrelenting in its incredible vision." David Dalglish (author of "The Half-Orcs" series) "Complex and intriguing; intelligent and engaging; descriptive enough to invoke all senses. The style is a nice mix--fast-paced and contemporary, yet with classical prose and imagery to satisfy those of us who love the 'old masters'." C.S. Marks (author of "Elfhunter")

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Ever-widening in its scope - fearless in its telling.” -- David Dalglish Deacon Shader is a man of contradictions. Trained for holiness, he is also the deadliest warrior of his generation. When plague strikes at the heart of the city of Sarum and the Abbey of Pardes is attacked by an army of undead, Shader is thrust into the forefront of an ages-old conflict. After being hidden for millennia, the scattered pieces of an artifact known as the Sun Stone have resurfaced, and an ancient enemy comes to claim them. Armies clash, dark magic is unleashed, and devastating science threatens to unmake the whole of creation. These are the times of the Unweaving that Shader has been prepared for since a child; and these are the days that will test his faith to the limits. ADVISORY: The Resurrection of Deacon Shader is an earlier, alternative version of the story told in the First Shader Trilogy: Against The Unweaving. Many of the events recounted in Sword of the Archon, Best Laid Plans, and The Unweaving will be found here with a simplified narrative, and a classical style that will appeal to those of a more “old school” persuasion. The Resurrection of Deacon Shader is written in British English and features a real world setting, including real world religion. “Rich and varied, touching, maddening, and addicting. Elegant, polished, and believable characters in an amazing world.” Archelle Baker (eBook Alchemy) “Complex and intriguing; intelligent and engaging; descriptive enough to invoke all senses. The style is a nice mix--fast-paced and contemporary, yet with classical prose and imagery to satisfy those of us who love the 'old masters'.” C.S. Marks (author of “Elfhunter”)

Book excerpt: "This is a series that should be savored like a fine scotch, one whose sweetness lingers in your mouth long after you've swallowed." (Journal of Always Reviews) The reavers are swarming and this time their prey is the supreme ruler of the Templum, the Ipsissimus himself. With Shader dead and his piece of the Statue of Eingana in the hands of Shadrak the Unseen, the threat of the Unweaving of all Creation is one step nearer. Dr. Cadman realizes he’s in too deep and there’s nothing for it but to go on the offensive. If he’s to survive the coming war for the statue, what better allies could he have than an army of the living dead? As Sektis Gandaw closes in and a clash of cultures threatens the land of Sahul, the philosopher Aristodeus still has ideas of his own that could decide the fate of all existence. But with the passage to the heavenly realm of Araboth covered by the Abyss, nothing is as it should be. Aristodeus knows that even Shader’s death can be turned to his advantage; after all, it’s a long game, and he holds all the cards. But even the best laid plans … "The star of this show is the intriguing post-apocalyptic world that Mr. Prior began building in Sword of the Archon. This alternative Earth is a wondrous thing to behold, filled with interesting lore, mysteries galore, vile plots, ancient gods and goddesses, and old world technology." (Bookwraiths Reviews) Here's what readers are saying about book 1, Sword of the Archon: "This is the best full-length self-published fantasy I've yet to read." (Rex Jameson) "Gritty and thought-provoking, Shader is an absolute triumph of fantasy." (Journal of Always Reviews) "If you liked Abercrombie's trilogy I think you'll like this."
