Great anticipation in a tradition of Forgotten Realms and Dragonlance
By Raist138
From what a authors tell us on their website [...], this is a initial brief story in what is to turn a immeasurable universe of epic fantasy. The website tender me adequate that we motionless to buy this, their initial book. The essay is strenuously colorful, and in a initial few sentences we are drawn in to another world--the symbol of good writing. This book is about a dark-elf named Shade. Shade, it turns out, was lerned as an "Unseen", that is an chosen form of Dark Elven defender -- ones who use sorcery and fighting ability to strengthen a homeland, and also to lift out some-more ethereal matters, such as assassination. Shade has, for reasons we are usually partially treated to (one contingency assume that a authors will go into his credentials in even some-more abyss in follow-up books, that are slated for recover on a website) left his dim homeland and now lives as an wandering among a human-dominated dominion of Doljinaar (which nonetheless ran by humans, is also filled with an collection of other creatures--the authors have combined a creatively formidable family tree of new anticipation races to stock their world--along with an collection of informed favorites--and we run into some-more than a few of them in this story). During a time between apropos an wandering from his homeland and a time we accommodate him in this story, Shade has used his considerable Unseen abilities to forge a name for himself as a mythological assassin. Now, a abounding and absolute find him out to compensate tip dollar for his services, that he seems to accept formed wholly on a plea rather than a money. This book is a story of a pursuit that he is hired to lift out, one that pits him opposite a aim as cruel and absolute as he. We get to follow him on a dangerous tour into a heart of a underworld of one of Doljinaar's many absolute cities.
Overall, we desired this book, and we rarely suggest it. Keep 'em coming, guys!

An present memory!
By Graydark
Wow! we usually finished this ebook from a Kindlestore and we have to say, what a surprise! we adore a essay style! we found myself picturing each stage with such intolerable clarity we felt like we was examination a movie. There is something truly noted about this world. we haven't gifted these kind of lustful memories about a anticipation array in years.
Memorable characters. Deep universe with some of a best impression and place names I've seen given Tolkien himself! Don't let a elementary grounds dope you. This is a splendidly deep, dim and action-packed book! It's about this murderer named Shade, who has been lerned in a ranks of a Unseen. This is a best Dark Elf science given R. A. Salvatore! Covent's Dark Elves are not subterranean, yet they live in these scary black forests with black trees, black leaves and black grasses. They have shimmering night cities and intense flowers. Invisible guardians called Unseen ensure their borders. we can't wait to examination some of a other tales advertised in a behind of a book! Cool website BTW!!!
I digress...this story indeed takes place in a dominion of group called Doljinaar. Great name! Shade, who is an Unseen Assassin, now lives among humans and has built himself into this rarely feared legend. He is offering a agreement to slay this ultra absolute crimelord, a pierce that will means him to be wanted by his possess underworld. He faces many enemies on his approach to Kurn, yet afterwards a movement heats up!
I'd substantially report this book has one hulk bar quarrel since Shade goes to Kurn and announces his vigilant to murder a crimelord. Instead of unctuous adult on his mark, he allows a crimelord to send mobs and mobs of goons during him. It's usually fun! No other word to report it. You usually have to examination it and a book hints during so most else that's going on in this world. we can't wait for another Chronicles of Covent book! Just one request: can we get some-more Festan subsequent time? How brave a Merrymaker Extraordinaire usually beauty one measly chapter!
I totally determine with a before review, yet we wouldn't contend this book is short. It's advertised during 67,000 words. My crony who bought it off my recommendation on iBookstore pronounced his duplicate advertised over 260 pages. Oh, and did we discuss it has artwork? It's about time one of these publishers started putting art behind in their novels. we rarely suggest this book! FIVE STARS!!!
