The Ember Blade: A breathtaking fantasy adventure (The Darkwater Legacy)

Product Information

The Sards are a combination of Gypsies (traditionally nomadic life, work as entertainers, are despised as thieves) and Jews (ethnic minority living in ghettos on major cities).

After a science-fictional YA trilogy, this is Chris’s return to more traditional Fantasy fare – his first since The Braided Path series (2003 – 2005) – and there’s a lot for Fantasy fans to like. Just reread The Ember Blade again…. holding breath for No 2. Hoping you all all you love are safe and well. Jill Summer What HAVEN’T I been up to in 2017? Buying Bitcoin, that’s what. Otherwise I would have cashed it in and bought an island full of zombies as a private hunting ground for my friends and I.I needed a bone-crushing hug afterwards to stop me quivering all over, overwhelmed as I was by the quality of this novel. From the publisher: “Aren has lived by the rules all his life. He’s never questioned it; that’s just the way things are. But then his father is executed for treason, and he and his best friend Cade are thrown into a prison mine, doomed to work until they drop. Unless they can somehow break free . . . Im new reading this… but I find really hard understanding the caracters…. it’s like it was ment that I should k ow them already… I mean is there or is it going to be something before?… like for example… lord of the rings have the hobbit… which explains the beginning…. in this book the 2nd chapter starts talking about Aren.. so am I supose to know him already? Sorry to bother, … thanks Humanoid Abomination: The Iron Hand's aptly named dreadknights might look like people, but it is clear from the get go that they're not really human. This is confirmed when the magical wards of Skavengard prevent them from following Garric's party into the valley. Man, I just finished the audiobook of the ember blade and I have to say it was amazing. It kept me on the edge of my seat the entire way through. The ending though was especially amazing and I was hanging on the edge of every word up until the final few sentences. Just wow. Great work.

Fantastic Nuke: Elarite oil is a highly unstable substance produced as a byproduct of elarite mining operations that can be detonated by any spark and emits fumes capable of igniting the air itself. Eight wine barrels worth of the substance note A dozen wine barrels each 2/3 full can produce an explosion powerful enough to demolish an entire fortress and burn down what is left in a blaze that can be seen hundreds of miles away. Empires rise, civilisations fall and one culture comes to subsume another. It's the way of the world . . . sometimes ways of life are improved, sometimes they are not. But the progression of change is huge and - usually - unstoppable. The reason why the Divide between the world of the living and the Shadowlands is thinning and the Outsiders are threatening to return.Look on My Works, Ye Mighty, and Despair: Ossia is positively littered with grandiose ruins from the days of the Second Empire, when the Sorcerer Kings of Ossia ruled the continent. Besides that there are other impressive but less beautiful ruins from the days of the First Empire, ruled by the urds.

In my 70s introduced my sons to fantasy when they were babies. New Zealand needs your story to be made into a movie. Rusty (son) worked on the Hobbit and wants to do same for you. Please come. FANTASY BOOK REVIEW The Ember Blade is everything I could possibly want in an epic fantasy novel, and so much more. Buy this book as soon as it is available.

Your Terrorists Are Our Freedom Fighters: The various Ossian resistance groups opposed to the Krodan occupation have been known to go to some pretty nasty extremes in their pursuit of freedom, carrying out assassinations against collaborators and informers, as well as considering butchering their families to discourage collaboration with the Krodans. Garric's plan after the failure of open rebellion at Salt Fork is to smuggle a dozen wine barrels two thirds full of elarite oil into Hammerholt fortress on the eve of a royal wedding and detonate them. This would create an explosion powerful enough to destroy most of the fortress and burn the rest, killing crown prince Ottico, the entire Krodan high command in Ossia, and hundreds if not thousands of Krodan soldiers... but also hundreds of Ossian servants and wedding guests, including foreign dignitaries and children. Sequel Hook: As may be expected in the first book of a planned trilogy, the novel leaves several plot threads hanging to be resolved in sequels. To wit: A well-written tale of revolution, dark magic, and a quest for an ancient game-changing artifact set in a well-built and well-realised epic fantasy world.

The beginning of a new epic fantasy series that is heavy on world building and light on its focus that ultimately left me wanting on so many levels. Aren has lived by the rules all his life. He has never questioned it; that is just the way things are. But then his father is executed for treason, and he and his best friend Cade are thrown into a prison mine, doomed to work until they drop. Unless they can somehow break free . . . Recipient of a few international literary awards and nominations, he enjoys reading gritty thrillers filled with moral dilemmas and a real sense of danger.
