Synopsis

• Killien, the unyielding clan chief who’s becoming increasingly volatile.
• Sora, the suspicious ranger who sees more than she should.
• A swarm of frost goblins that devour with tooth and claw.

The list of people and things that could get Will killed keeps growing.

While Alaric is in Queensland, searching for Kordan’s Wellstone, Keeper Will is over the mountains in the hostile Roven Sweep, searching for his missing sister.

After catching a glimpse of a woman who could be her in a Keeper-hating Roven clan. Will convinces Killien to let him travel north with them to their summer homes.

Under the relentless suspicions of Sora, a tenuous friendship grows between Will and Killien, who talks of building peace among the hostile Roven.

Except Will’s thin disguise as a storyteller is crumbling quickly and Sora may already know who he is.

The more Will gets to know Killien, the more troubling things he learns. Killien’s hatred for Keepers runs deep, and for all his talk of peace, the man’s greatest wish is to control a vicious army.

And a dragon.

But Will doesn’t know that the chief has taken more from him than just his sister.

And Killien controls enough power to gain everything he wants.

About this title

Review

With its refreshingly lighthearted approach to tackling serious concepts, this book has earned its place on my personal list of feel-good fantasy.

"The moon was so low it grazed the horizon, sending a thousand golden fingers dragging through the fur of the giant creature that was the Sweep."

In addition to brilliant surroundings, the cast of characters Andrews has given breath and voice to, as well as their dynamics with each other, are absolutely superb.

After a bit of a slow start, we're heaved into a world that is so beautifully crafted with secrets that are revealed at just the right times. Gorgeously vivid descriptions of the settings established around us add new fine layers to the immersion that continues getting deeper and deeper. The plot and twists are developed in such a way to drop hints for you to possibly pick up on, and keep the pages flying by at a rapid pace. Splashes of mirthful snark and chill-inducing prose make this a thrilling, stand-out read that is far too difficult to put down.

Reminiscent of classic favorites, this story has everything you'd ever need for an entertaining and absorbing epic fantasy adventure. I highly recommend.
