Of Saints and Shadows: A Summary
The first ever series penned by Christopher Golden is titled The Shadow Saga. The first book in The Shadow Saga was initially published in 1994 titled Of Saints and Shadows. This literary series is shelved under the urban fantasy and horror genres. Peter Octavian is the featured protagonist in The Shadow Saga series of books.

The first book is set in an environment teeming with, one, vampires and, two, a discreet and hideous organization using the Catholic Church for camouflage. This organization has an out-and-out desire to annihilate the vampires. But why all this hullabaloo? The pin that burst the balloon is the stealing of a historic book known as the Gospel of Shadows. This book has fallen into the wrong hands, the organization which is hellbent on wiping out the vampires. The organization lurking in the church is a classic example of an insecure sect.

Protagonist Peter Octavian is a private eye. Moreover, he is a vampire. But the profiling term vampire is much ado about nothing, or so it seems. The reason is because despite being a vampire himself, Octavian gives scant credence to the fallacy of vampires being affected by light and jeopardized by Christian religious objects. The proof of the pudding is in the eating. The independent-minded investigator Octavian embarks on a quest to recover the stolen vital book.

The second book in The Shadow Saga series created by Christopher Golden is called Angel Souls and Devil Hearts. This book was first published in 1995. Golden’s book is an expounding of the previous book in the series. This book revolves around age-old but hitherto unknown vampire creatures. The future of these living creatures, which have existed since time immemorial, is ill-fated. The reason? A nihilistic section of people wants them wiped from the face of the world.

Basically, this book encompasses a looming all out war featuring the humankind on one side and the vampires or, better yet, the Shadows race, on the other side. This is not about survival of the fittest, but about self-preservation.

Various forms of literary work produced by Christopher Golden have been adapted for the silver screen. The following are some of them.

Golden’s series of books called Ghosts of Albion have been adapted for films. One of them is titled “Ghosts of Albion: Legacy” and was released in 2003. The film stars Rory Kinnear as William Swift.
