Story
Just when Baron Minalan the Spellmonger figured out there was a slim chance to restore his mind-shattered wife Alya (if he's willing to journey to the undercaverns of Olum Seheri, the lair of Korbal the Necromancer), things start to go awry: not only does Prince Tavard, his unloved liege lord, decide to conduct an official state visit to Sevendor on pilgrimage to the Everfire on the Briga's feast day, but a mysterious seamage appears at his door with an intriguing offer from the Sea Folk who rule Callidore: They want to buy snowstone. An entire mountain of it.

Big Answers Revealed
Reviewed: 05-01-20
Another great installment and some big plot twists and answers finally revealed. Had a moment where I said out loud "Shut Up!" because I was surprised at the revelations. A lot was taken care of in this book and a big opening for the next. If you have been keeping up with the series this far, you will not be disappointed.

Story
From the moment Dara of Westwood spied the Silver Headed Raptor nesting in Rundeval Peak, the precocious redheaded 12-year-old girl was enchanted. The youngest daughter of the Master of the Wood lived in ramshackle Westwood Hall, in the independently minded Westwood estate of Sevendor. Her determination to capture a baby falcon and train it wasn’t hampered by the fact that Dara had never climbed a mountain, had never been trained in falconry, or even remotely had permission from her father to do it.

In The Land: Predators, the Mist Village has harnessed its power. With core buildings, professional fighters, and now their own dungeon, the settlement is primed to grow into a kingdom of true power and magic. The path to power has not been without risk, however. The MistVillage has been noticed. Evil nobles from the Kingdom of Law, bloodthirsty goblins from the Serrated Mountains, an undead lord with a penchant for human sacrifice, and fanatical kobolds from the Depths all plot the village's destruction.

If you made it this far in the series then you already know how good it is. This book is where we get some serious progress and growth happening. Also, listen to the very end, there is a little surprise... If you have not listened to all the previous books yet but are reading this, wtf?! Go back to book 1 and get started. You will not be disappointed.

Each book just continues to build and always leaves you wanting more. Great writing, great performances, and a story that gives you satisfaction but still teases you with the possibility of more to come.

Minalan gets medieval! When you defeat the invading goblin army, get knighted on the field of battle, gifted with lands and gold, usually your happily-ever-after is...happy. But now that Minalan the Spellmonger has been ennobled and enfiefed, Sire Minalan has a task cut out for him that makes defeating goblins seem like child’s play: Moving his very pregnant bride and a few thousand refugees from Boval Vale into the remote, sparsely peopled Domain of Sevendor. But when he arrives, he finds the land withered from neglect, filled with superstition and suspicion.

This is the story of what happens after you win the battle, become a hero, get the girl, and a little fiefdom to boot. This books really sets the stage for events to come and develops all the main characters stories and introduces some much needed others to help our new Magelord.

Worst Book I've Ever Listened To or Read

A Great Start
Reviewed: 04-07-15
I am between many novels (Stormlight Archive, Green Rider, Sorcery Ascendant) waiting for their next book to be release and was looking for something similar that had swords and magic, strong moral characters, set in the time of kings and queens and that would hold me for a while. I am glad to say that I was not dissappointed. This book has been a great start to the many books to follow and I can't wait to jump into the next.
Side note: I love that healing salve and potion. Its a great part of the story that has allowed our characters to be in the middle of the fray, sustain injuries they learn lessons from, but not end up dead and us as readers bitter.

Any additional comments?
Gave this series a try and was very surprised at the excellent narration and story line. I like the mix of the modern age with the Avalon mythology. For a book that was written in the 70's the story still seems current and not antiquated. I would like to finish the whole series but do not like that these short 5 hour books are sold separately instead of being grouped together. It will definitely be expensive to get to the end and I'm sure Audible is counting on that. Great book, lame deal!

With his dying breath, he tells her he is a Green Rider, one of the magical messengers of the King. Before he dies, he makes Karigan swear to deliver the message he’s carrying, and gives her his green coat, with the symbolic brooch of his office.

Any additional comments?
This story was a great adventure. The narrator was excellent and made all the voices unique and very easy to follow along with. Strong female protagonist, a lot of action, a good mix of magic, great cast of characters. If you liked The Hunger Games, Green, and The Percy Jackson Series then you will definitely enjoy this series. Suitable for mid teens and older for violence and suggestive content.
