Synopsis

War calls the elves of Urlas to battle. But Kealin, a young half-elf training to be a Sacred Blade, and his three siblings, are forbidden to go. They are not ready, or so they're told. But Kealin's lineage has a dark secret and the High Council of Urlas fears what he may become . . .

Kealin is about to learn that secret and in the cataclysm emerging, Urlas will wish they had embraced it.

When the soothsayer of Urlas tells Kealin that doom comes for all that left for the war, he and his siblings set off on what may be a one-way journey to the edge of the world. Darkness is upon them and a specter that dwells between the borders of the living realms has been waiting for them.

The Rogue Elf awakens . . . but is it too late to save those he loves?

Get ready for an adventure--this one just blew me away! The style of the writing reminded me of the Warcraft books, particularly Richard A. Knaak (one of my favorite fantasy authors).

A quest begins Four half-elf siblings begin a quest to save the world they know. World building was good. Felt that I understood the struggles facing the siblings. Although the many of the challenges seemed a bit too simple. However, that may have been the plan since it seems they were misled a bit d......more

Goodreads review by Jeff

It’s fun and easy to read I picked up this book because I saw it compared to the legend of Drizzt books. It’s really a poor comparison, they are nothing alike other than a dual-sword wielding main character. It’s definitely easier to read than RA Salvatore, and there are some spelling and grammar err......more

Goodreads review by Alexander

I liked the fast pace and the bizzare world, which reminded me of the Malus Darkblade novels by Dan Abnett. However, the main character was a bit bland, the writing needs polishing and the ending was needlessly grim. Nevertheless, I plan to give the second book a chance as well.
