Writers' praise for First Chosen
"This is really great stuff! The characters seem real, three dimensional people, not typical fantasy types." - James Rollins, Author of THE DEVIL COLONY and MAP OF BONES.
"The pacing kept me engaged, and I have to admit, kept me up past my bedtime on more than one occasion. I can't wait to read the sequel." - Shay Fabbro, author of THE PORTALS OF DESTINY
"I wish I could write fight scenes like that." Jen Wylie, Author of SWEET LIGHT
"The characters are well-drawn and the world is truly fascinating, with its talk of gods and miracles. It is an unconventional design for a fantasy novel, and it works very much to the author's advantage. First Chosen is one of my top 5 favorite books of 2011!" - Christopher Kellen, author of ELEGY and THE CORPSE KING
Overview of First Chosen
On her twenty-first birthday Julianna frees Grandfather Shadow, an ancient god of vengeance, from his thousand-year prison. In his "gratitude," the god names her his high priest and commands her to lead his people to greatness once again. Unfortunately, it is a capital crime for any of Julianna's people to worship one of the five ancient gods - the punishment is not just execution but also the destruction of the soul. While evading Kingdom Inquisitors and the followers of the god of death, Julianna must learn to use her new power to survive long enough to unite Grandfather Shadow's fractured people.

"First Chosen grabbed me from the beginning and never let go." Krista Hart, reader
"First Chosen is a complex story, multi-layered and containing a rich mythology and large amount of world building. I was impressed with the word that Gallowglas has apparently put into creating not only his world, but its various cultures, mythologies, religions and even languages. The rich interactions of his characters fill the story with a sense that you know these people and you grow to care very much what happens to them." K. Sozaeva "Obsessive Bibliophile
