"Hi, my name is Conor. Other than my father being a bit of an eccentric lunatic, my life was pretty normal until I got attacked in my living room and whisked away to Tir na Nog, the mystical land of the ancient Celts, where it turns out Dad is the usurped heir to the throne and everybody wants me dead because of some prophecy. Don't you just hate when that happens?"
Shadowmagic is a rip roaring fun fantasy adventure novel by John Lenahan very loosely based on Irish mythology where every chapter ends on the edge of a cliff (or at least a high curb.) Join Conor as he grapples with typical teenage problems like, how to deal with a father's high expectations, how to survive in the world on your own and how to woo a beautiful girl - that wants you dead. Shadowmagic a podcast novel for young adults from 12 to 112.

this book was amazing, the story was amazing, the characters were amazing and the narration was amazing, John you must continue writing and podcasting!!! cant wait for the next book!!By: Liz
This book is fantastic, and John you are a superb narrator. This is only the 3rd podiobook that I have heard and let me say, I was not let down. John has a fantastic voice that makes you feel and see what he wrote and reads, and I must say if you like Tom Hanks voice you'll loves Johns as well. I hope to hear the sequels he spoke of as I am sure that he will but as much into them as he did in to this one. Thank You John!!!By: Javier
John, this story is absolutely fantastic, really lighthearted with a nice sense of humour and, as several people have said, the narration is impeccable! you really get the feeling you know the characters and fall in love with them and get involved in the story... please post the sequels because I can't wait to hear more!
