About this ebook

A magician vanishes from a Melbourne stage and reappears in a storm‑torn field more than three centuries out of time. Lost in 1692 and dressed like a fever dream, Blake Fire becomes the centre of Salem's rising panic the moment he arrives. Shadows follow him. Dogs bark at him. Lantern flames die at his feet. And one terrified whisper sparks a legend he never asked for.

They call him Shadowborn.Blake calls it a misunderstanding.

As fear spreads through the town, every attempt to help only makes things worse. The more he insists on his real name, the more Salem insists on another — and the myth grows darker, louder, and far more dangerous than the truth.

A supernatural tale of misfortune, magic, and mistaken identity, Shadowborn: The Wizard of Gallows Hill blends dark folklore with sharp humour as one time‑lost magician tries — and fails — to convince history he is not the monster they think he is.

History remembers differently.
