    A Catholic Medieval Adventure

    Posted by IBF CURATORS on Nov 18th 2025

    Shadow in the Dark is the first in an adventurous and Catholic medieval book series. When I read this story, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it and wished there had been something like this when I was in school. The main characters’ struggles and courage will keep your child turning the pages and wanting the rest of the series. This is the perfect book for boys who want adventure told in a wholesome and faith-filled way!
