Book 1
​

In medieval England, a peasant who lost his memory in an attack by bandits must save a Benedictine abbey by solving the mystery of the shadowy figure who walks the abbey's grounds at night.
"With meticulous attention to the historical setting ..., Kolenc weaves a fascinating and exciting tale. ... What makes Shadow in the Dark really stand out ... is Xan's insightful search for the meaning of his suffering and journey of faith."                                                                                                                                      ~ GoodBooksForCatholicKids.Com
