Summary

As the clouds above darken, the world is on the brink of being torn apart by the sinister and sadistic Karrak Dunbar who, by cruel fate, is second in line to the throne of Borell.

With each passing day, Karrak’s strength grows, as he relentlessly pursues an ancient artefact known as The Elixian Soul - an artefact said in lore to have the power to increase black magic tenfold, the power of which could ultimately render him unstoppable.

Only Karrak’s older brother Jared stands in his way. 

He strives with the aid of his mentor, a powerful wizard named Emnor, and an eclectic mix of unexpected alliances, to put an end to Karrak’s schemes. 

Together, they must prevent the ascension of Karrak.

Quite simply.. Wonderful.

Take a cup of Tolkien, a cup of Rowling, place In a Camelot size bowl with a twist of Herbert and a sprig of Pullman. Bake to perfection and sit back and relish in the deliciousness of this wonderful author and allow his mind to take you on an adventure worthy of any other author. Superb storyline, captivating characters, some you'll love some you'll despise, just as it should be. From strange creatures that run faster than the wind to super strong dwarf like loveable folk, to wizards and beautiful queens and shape shifting grumpy folk, to heroes. This is a journey of hope, new found friendships and allegiances all with one goal..(something you'll have to find out yourself). This is a story that appeals to young, old and all inbetween. Enough action and suspense to keep you hooked and perfect amount of humour to keep you smiling. I long for book 2. Move over authors, a new master wordsmith is here. 10/10.

A new world

I really enjoyed the new world building. The characters have very quickly endeared themselves to me. I like that we also get why of the nemesis being the way he is. I’m swiftly moving onto the next book. Thank you Rob it was all you said and more.

fantastic British fantasy

I recently met the author of this book and as well as being a fantastic person he explained to me how he has written the physical books in a form that is accessible for dyslexic people, it is greatly appreciated that there are authors taking this into consideration.

the actual story was really fun, there's great banter between characters, and seeing how the different dynamics change and grow. A collection of all brand new races leaves you guessing what they can do and how they will think. one of my particular favourite things about the book was the fact you could tell it was written by a British person from the language and colloquialisms used. I look forward to reading the next book in the series.
