Publisher's Summary
The first in a new epic fantasy series from David R. Slayton—author of White Trash Warlock—Dark Moon, Shallow Sea is a powerful story of divine betrayal, ghosts, and self-discovery, perfect for fans of the Dark Souls series or Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson.
When Phoebe, goddess of the moon, is killed by the knights of the sun god, Hyperion, all who follow her are branded heretics. With Phoebe gone, the souls of the dead are no longer ferried to the underworld, and instead linger on as shades who feast on the blood of the living.
Raef is a child of the night. He lives in the shadows, on scraps, eking out a meager existence as a thief. But when an ornate box is sequestered in the Temple of Hyperion, the chance of a big score proves too great to resist. What he finds within propels him on an odyssey across the sea and back again, altering the course of his life forever.
Seth is a knight of the sun. But unlike the others of his order, the fire of Hyperion only brings him pain. He believes he deserves this penance, exacted for his unknown origins. Tasked with recovering the contents of the box, Seth must also venture beyond the horizon if he’s to learn the truth about himself.
In a dying world divided by the greed of those in power, Raef and Seth find their destinies intertwined—and learn they might have more in common than they ever imagined.

Queer magic
A beguiling alternate universe, a layered story, complex characters.
Flawed but hopeful characters and nuances that can be relatable in the insanity of the real world.
In this world it seems that relationships between any gender is common and accepted, and I think that someone of any sexuality would enjoy this book. Romance was handled very sweetly and gently as part of a larger story.
A very satisfying end.
Narrator aced every part of it.

Great narration, as always
I love listening to Michael David Axtell talk. I’m so glad he narrated this new book of David R Slayton’s. Book was great too (although not quite as good as the Adam Binder series). Can’t wait for the next one.
