Summary

When the gods come calling, you’d better have your act together.

The Wanderers have protected humankind for millennia against the forces of Darkness. Now, the last surviving Wanderer, Rafe Semmes, must again battle Rowle - the only Wanderer to ever go rogue and turn against his fellows - as Rowle attempts to kick-start Ragnarök, the battle foretold in Norse mythology as heralding the end of the world and doom for mankind and the gods themselves.

Joining Rafe in his epic struggle to stop Rowle from opening a gateway to our world that would draw the old gods into the battle is the last Wanderer apprentice, Tess. Tess is a heroic young warrior fatally wounded on the battlefield in Afghanistan, saved in the moment of death by the Norse goddess of Destiny, Verðandi, so she may aid Rafe. Tess's training is far from complete, but the battle against Rowle won't wait. Together, Rafe and Tess must overcome magical alliances and dark forces to turn back the hordes once again, or die trying.

Main cast expands as Tess gets her familiar

The 3rd book in this series is another strong one with the ongoing story of the last Wanderer, Rafe, and his new apprentice Tess progressing nicely as their adversary, the renegade former Wanderer Rowle continues in his efforts to bring about Ragnarok.

Their latest mission for Verðandi, one of the Norse Fates takes them to Colorado and along the way the party grows as Rafe judges that his apprentice Tess has learned enough to be ready to summon her own familiar, which turns out to be a hippogriff called Maya.

Besides the additional familiar we also meet some new secondary characters who live in the vicinity of this summons of fate, one is an old friend of Rafe's, a native american magician and the other is Tess' aunt (and her wife) who is shocked by her recovery from the injuries that caused Tess to be chosen as a Wanderer and by the knowledge that magic exists. All these new characters helped to further enhance the overall feel of this book's world, particularly Tess' relatives who helped give a mundane perspective on the magic, whereas as Joe was already well aware of it already.

The narrator gave another excellent performance and the change in tone when a chapter was told from the perspective of either Rafe or Tess was nicely enhanced by his performance. The secondary characters and the general narration were also very pleasant and added to the overall story.

Overall, this was another enjoyable installment in this series, but I wouldn't recommend somebody starting with this one as the first two books in the series are also very good and well worth checking out first.
