Synopsis: From amazon.com:
A vision sparks the beginning of treachery and war, and the
kingdom of Naretia is about to fall....
Olórin’s adopted son, Aramus, is a creature unlike any in
Naretia. He is feared by all, and holds a darkness inside that is said will end
all life by his eighteenth birthday. Olórin must scour the kingdom for godly
ingredients to make a potion for Aramus that will save them all. He is hoping
his son’s human side will prevail over the rising darkness within him, for long
enough to outrun their enemies.
But Aramus’s real father, the dark God Dantet, desires his
son’s powers so he might, once again, walk on mortal soil. His legion of dark
creatures follow Olórin and Aramus at every turn, trying to kill them. Dantet’s
army, however, is not the only one wanting Aramus dead. Something, or someone,
changes fate’s hand. Neither Dantet, nor Olórin, can see the terrible future
that threatens them all. Even the traitors within the wizard caste are blind to
what is coming.
But it is coming.
My Review:
Great debut novel! Compelling fantasy read! Highly
Recommend!
Truthfully, though
I’ve long been a fan of reading science fiction and fantasy, it has been years
since I’ve done so. This being said, I enjoyed this delve back into fantasy. I
had no idea what I was getting into when I first began reading, but it turned
out to be a very pleasant surprise. Author T.P. Keane knows how to spin words
and worlds in this tale of treachery and war, and the kingdom of Naertia. There
is action adventure at every turn. Every fantasy fan should enjoy this one. I
certainly did, though as I’ve said, it’s been awhile since I read a fantasy
tale. It has every kind of character you can imagine in it. Good and bad. There
are dwarves, wolves, wizards and a wicked queen. There are characters to cheer
on and those to spit at.
Take a read with The Paladins of Naertia and enter a world
of worlds to distract you. I’m sure you won’t be disappointed.
Until my next review, stay safe. Smile! Show compassion to others. Be nice to one another. Read a book and pass it on. Review it. Reviews are very important tool for authors. Cheers!
