The Long Shadow

The pandemic is over. Humanity is saved. The misery is over. Or is it?

From the wreckage of the old world, a new order has arisen. On the banks of the Borava River, a city stands divided between two oppressive civilisations engaged in an endless struggle with one another. Under the callous rule of their power-hungry overlords, the people long for liberation yet can find no cause for hope or redemption.

Amidst the contradictions and hypocrisies of this decaying world however, a string of unexplained murders ignites a spark of renewed enthusiasm as an investigation unfolds in a desperate search for answers to the murderous mystery.

Donnchadh Mac Gabhann was raised in a rural part of the northern borderlands of Ireland. He received a Gaelic-speaking education and had an early interest in language, reading, and writing. During his formative years, he was fascinated by the differing patterns of behaviour and belief he observed in people according to their circumstances and dispositions. This interest led him to study history and political science at Trinity College Dublin and has subsequently led to his current education at Uppsala University where he is specialising in Holocaust and Genocide Studies to obtain a greater insight into the nature of humanity.
