The Book of Shadow, page 35
part #1 of The Curse of the Unnamed Series
"The next book in this series cannot come out soon enough for this reader. Not just my favorite Kindle book of the year, but one of my favorite books ever."
"I loved this book."
"Bruce Blake's On Unfaithful Wings is a great urban fantasy novel. I love good character development in a story's protagonist and Blake nails it with Icarus Fell. I found myself rooting for him from the get-go and laughing out loud at some of his observations."
"On Unfaithful Wings was an impressive first novel. All of the characters were interesting and engaging, but in particular the main character and his struggle to reconcile with his new identity/job. This is one of those stories that stays with me long after I read it and I'll be on the lookout for more from this author."
"This is just, simply, amazing. Icarus is one of the best characters I've ever "met", chock full of virtues and faults and doubts and worries and a simple HUMANNESS that comes through so clearly, I almost expect to run into him around the next corner."
"Icarus Fell is a flawed man but a wonderful character. From the moment I started reading On Unfaithful Wings I was pulled along by this interesting character and wanting to know what would happen next."

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Bruce Blake lives on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada. When pressing issues like shovelling snow and building igloos don't take up his spare time, Bruce can be found taking the dog sled to the nearest coffee shop to work on his short stories and novels.
Actually, Victoria, B.C. is only a couple hours north of Seattle, Wash., where more rain is seen than snow. Since snow isn't really a pressing issue, Bruce spends more time trying to remember to leave the "u" out of words like "colour" and "neighbour" than he does shovelling.
Bruce has been writing since grade school but it wasn't until the mid-2000's he set his sights on becoming a full-time writer. Since then, his first short story, "Another Man's Shoes" was published in the Winter 2008 edition of Cemetery Moon , another short, "Yardwork",was made into a podcast in Oct., 2011 by Pseudopod. Since then, he has concentrated on writing novels, publishing the Khirro's Journey trilogy (Blood of the King , Spirit of the King , and Heart of the King ), three books in the ongoing Icarus Fell urban fantasy series (On Unfaithful Wings , All Who Wander are Lost , and Secrets of the Hanged Man ), and the Books of the Small Gods series (When Shadows Fall , The Darkness Comes , And Night Descends , When Ravens Call , The Twilight Fades , and And Kingdoms End ). The Book of Shadow is the first book in the Curse of the Unnamed series, to be followed by Shadow Scarred , A Shadow Upon the Land , and In the Shadow of the Dragon .
Bruce has many more projects simmering on the back burner, so stay tuned.
