Summary

Winner - National IE Award for Fantasy.
Winner - Readers Favorite for Epic Fantasy.
Winner - Beverly Hill Award for Epic Fantasy.
RunnerUp - Kindle Book Awards for Fantasy.

They are feared, hated, hunted down, and destroyed....

....and yet they are mankind's last hope.

For a thousand years magic has been banished throughout the Five Kingdoms, and those caught wielding it are rounded up and taken to the White Tower. They are never heard from again.

Ty knows he's different. But when the bounty hunters arrive in the quiet city of Easthaven, his family reveals the shocking truth about his magical bloodline. And when an Ahvari witch hires a tribe of Northmen to capture him, Ty finds himself in the middle of a war he didn't know existed....

Armed with nothing but his will to survive, Ferrin attempts what no prisoner has ever accomplished and vows to escape the White Tower. His only hope is Rae, a gifted healer tasked with keeping the prisoners alive during the inquisitors' brutal interrogations. Will she be willing to risk her own life for that same chance of freedom....

Ayrion outworked his fellow soldiers for years to become captain of the guard. But his strength and valor alone won't be enough to stop the bloodthirsty creatures coming for his king. And when a sweeping number of the city's outcasts begin to mysteriously disappear, he realizes that the threat is closer than he knew....

War is coming, the likes of which hasn't been seen since the time of the Khul Hordes. How will humanity fight back when those with the ability to do so are being exterminated?

A Lot of Patience Required

This is one of those books with great potential but requiring too large an investment in time to get there. It’s not gripping or captivating so far. Several hours in and like a child I keep asking, “when will we get there?” The details while appreciating, get overwhelming then boring at times. The story is also quite predictable in some respects. I do not appreciate the long-winded, detailed torture scenes...
I’m sure the book would have turned out alright in the end - it’s just not engaging or mature enough for me to appreciate.

Not Meaty enough

Perhaps I'm just getting jaded with fantasy. This is a reasonable story but too soft. There are goodies and baddies (yawn) and the goodies are just so very nice. I need grimdark. The narrator is good, as he always is, but there's just no real meat.

One of the best books ever

I haven't enjoyed a book this much for too long. Believe me, you're missing out.

Really enjoyed it.

I wasn’t sure about this when I started it. But I found that I became very invested in the characters and wanted to know what happens next.

To many perspectives

I felt lost, so many changes of perspectives it’s hard to keep track of who’s the current character, just hops around randomly, I mean 2 or 3 should be the max but this just kept having more and more perspectives… really struggled with this book although I think the story line is great… it’s just not written to my taste
