Shadows of the Everstone, Book I, Ketchwood
Ketchwood, the first book in the Shadows of the Everstone series, introduces readers to the Ketchwood Valley—a hidden world of mystery and peril. But this is only the beginning.
For there is far more to discover.
The entire saga unfolds on a world known as Olam, a land cloaked in secrets, shadows, and ancient power. Only one continent is known to exist—and even it is divided by towering barriers and lost history. Three realms share this continent, yet each knows little of the others.
In the west lies the realm we know best—the home of Ketchwood. But this land is hemmed in by the Great Realm Walls, dividing humanity from the Dragons to the east… and the Giants to the north.
Why? How? Who built these walls? And what forces drove the humans into the valley? >>> more

M. R. Davenport
Matthew Roy (M.R.) Davenport was born in Ukiah, California, in 1966. He grew up in a Christian home and is forever grateful to his parents for keeping Jesus as a central part of his childhood. He served in the US Army as a Military Policeman.
Matt always dreamed of adventure. Feats and experiences that would forever be remembered. Each and every story and novel that he creates is a genuine dedication to those dreams.
His desire to tell a story and share in the travels and exploits in his mind started when he was still a kid, playing in the mountains and fields of his homes. His many homes. As a young man, his family moved about quite a bit. As difficult as it was, he feels it lent to his penchant for telling tales. >>> more


I really enjoyed the storyline. It was fantastic watching Brandon find himself, and what he was truly made of. The characters were well thought out, and they made the story magical. If you like Narnia, you will probably like this story. - Rebekah B.
What Readers Are Saying...
I enjoyed this thriller set in a very quiet part of the country. It’s fun to read a book populated with both adults and children, in which the children are the real heroes. - Mark K.
I don't usually read long books, this book kept my attention to the end. Many twists and turns. Love how the descriptions of the area the story takes place in, you can see that the place in your mind. - Marilyn M.
M.R. Davenport's My King The Chalice of Tribute Adventure allegory, well written and imaginative! - Rick T.
Great hero's journey, with great world-building. I recommend it. My grandson is going to love Ketchwood! - Linda H.
