Shadowmancer is a young adult fictional novel written by Anglican vicar G.P. Taylor, in opposition to the "atheist propaganda" found in books such as Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials series.The story concerns Obadiah Demurral, Shadowmancer of the title, who seeks an artifact called the Keruvim, which he believes will bring him supreme power. Opposing him is local ruffian Thomas Barrick, his Tomboy friend Kate, and the mysterious stranger Raphah, an African boy who has been seeking the stolen Keruvim, and who teaches the others the ways of Riathamus (God). Accompanying them is highwayman Jacob Crane, whose selfish outlook on life begins to change upon becoming as he begins to better understand God.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })In 2006, a sequel, The Curse of Salamander Street was released.

Heel–Faith Turn: While Beadle is practically a Minion with an F in Evil and Jacob Crane is more of a selfish rogue, they both undergo one of these through the course of the book.
