Centuries ago, the prophetic Golden Age ended in war, and history spiraled into darkness. Now, the saga continues as our heroes prepare for a dark invasion in the hollow aftermath of A'lara's unbinding.

Deep within the mountain fortress of Sierlyn, the legendary elf Kingard frees the captive empress of Allana. Under the elf's watchful eye, the new Light Master Jorn strives to redeem the stains of his past betrayal. When the unwitting darkmage Haisrir embarks for distant Kholl, he unleashes the gravest threat of all.

Divided in purpose and forsaken by prophesy, their fractured band splinters under the burdens of impending war. But looming beyond the eastern horizon, their enemies ready a ghastly armada. Without new portents to guide them, Kingard and his allies face a blind scramble to defend their imperiled empire.

Review

This is book 2 in the Tales of the Known World series but is perfectly readable without starting with book 1.

D.N.Frost paints a detailed picture of her fantasy world and the characters to be found within. From the legendary Elf Kingard to the abandoned at birth Mer-man Tirrok the main protagonists all have their own story to tell and these stories are woven into the narrative with ease.

Interspersed with colour maps of each portion of the Known World which give the whole an extra richness which will appeal to anyone with a cartographical bent.

The book contains a wealth of extra information including a pronunciation guide, a glossary and map keys plus links to online resources on the author's website.

The author clearly loves world building and this translates into a well crafted fantasy novel.

Favourite Books of 2023

With 2024 now nearly a week old, I thought I'd compile a list of my top ten books of 2023. Unfortunately I've not been able to whittle it down to just ten so I tried to make it my favourite ten authors. Once again I failed as there are so many great books I didn't want to leave out. Even so I've had to be harsh and leave out many that would've made last years list (what do you mean I didn't publish a list last year? Yeah, I know, I was too busy reading and writing reviews and I completely forgot) My list is composed of 15 authors and contains 42 books from a variety of genres (it could easily have been 60 books from the 400 I read last year (ok, some of those were quite short and I've not got much else to do) Lets get on with it I hear you yell, so without further ado and in no particular order, these were my favourite reads of 2023 Scratch that. I'm going to list them in alphabetical order by author surname so no further favouritism can be gleaned from ...

He believes in saving souls, but Charles Balcombe is beyond saving. His control over his killer instinct appears to be weakening. BlackJack has killed again and more questions are being asked of Detective Inspector Munro. He is under increasing pressure to solve the murders, especially when he picks up more cases from Kowloon rather than solving his own. As Balcombe battles with his demon, he investigates the death of a young woman. Was it an accident or did she kill herself? At first Balcombe thinks it's straightforward but as he digs, other cases reveal an evil in Hong Kong. One that could consume them all. Set in 1954, this is book 2 of the series. It can be read as a stand-alone but the author recommends boo...
