"Liberally peppered with A. J. Gallant’s wit, we meet Adorok before he became an old and powerful wizard. Watch dragons fly across the skies, picture Adorok in his youth, powerful, yet naïve to the ways of the world, even as a warrior. War has devastated his world, the death toll is high and the hatred runs deep. Through it all, A.J. Gallant brings his characters to life, imbuing them with humor, strength, and determination without weighing his tale down. A good read, a fascinating escape, and one that fantasy lovers will find completely entertaining as an escape into another world filled with magic, mayhem, and adventure.
