Shadows of the Dark Crystal is the first book in a series of young
adult novels set in the world of Jim Henson's The Dark Crystal and
ties into the Netflix The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance series.
The story takes place years before the events of the classic film
and follows the journey of a young Gelfling woman who leaves her
secluded home to uncover the truth surrounding the disappearance of
her brother who has been accused of treason by the sinister Skeksis
Lords. Praise for Shadows of the Dark Crystal: "With deft nods to
the original Dark Crystal movie and a passionate attention to
detail, the author has fashioned an impressive prequel. Fans (who
will instantly recognize certain elements) and newcomers alike will
find themselves immersed in a new narrative, with new protagonists
and dangers to face. Readers who crave otherworld fantasy such as
Jaleigh Johnson's The Mark of the Dragonfly and Paul Durham's The
Luck Uglies will enjoy discovering this new series." -School
Library Journal "While young readers probably won't have seen the
film, the books might lead them to it; even if they don't have that
point of reference, Henson's world is richly imagined here, and it
will be well worth the projected four books to explore the
landscape, characters, and storylines." -The Bulletin of the Center
for Children's Books "Characters and situations are compelling, and
this first of a planned four-volume series aptly sets the stage and
the conflict and tugs strongly on the heartstrings, setting readers
up for more great adventures" -Booklist Before you watch the
upcoming Netflix series, read the original novels from J. M. Lee
(The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance) that intertwine with the
events of the series. Jim Henson's The Dark Crystal: Shadows of the
Dark Crystal is set years before the events of the classic film and
follows the journey of a young Gelfling woman who leaves her
secluded home to uncover the truth surrounding the disappearance of
her brother who has been accused of treason by the sinister Skeksis
Lords.
