Publisher's summary

The fate of the Dragon Lands are at play.

The knights of the Lightraider Order disappeared nearly two generations past. Now, the Keledan have withdrawn behind their barriers, and the Dragon Lands of bordering Tanelethar are overrun with dark oppression. The people are living in disobedience to the Rescuer who freed them long ago.

A shepherd boy, Connor Enarian, and four young initiates rekindle the fires of the Lightraider Order in the hope of striking out across the mountains into Tanelethar to destroy a portal and stop an impending invasion.

Once in the Dragon Lands, Connor learns that the key to success lies with a missing Lightraider spy and his lifelong companion, a talking silver wolf. Can Connor and his friends find the spy before the portal grows too large to destroy?

Or will a local young woman — or Connor’s own family history — betray them?

The dangers and secrets of Tanelethar test both trust and loyalty, and to save his homeland, Connor may have to sacrifice his innermost dreams.

Ranger's Apprentice Meets Tolkien and Lewis

I finished the audiobook Wolf Soldier by James R Hannibal. From the first word this book had my full attention. Mix Rangers Apprentice's training future warriors with Tolkien's high fantasy worldbuilding, and CS Lewis' allegory and you have the Lightraider Academy series. The fate of the world is at stake and it is up to a band of unlikely teens to save it. But will evil armies and conflict within Lightraider ranks destroy the teens before they can complete their mission? This clean fantasy will delight readers of all ages. I give it five stars!

Highly recommended

As a Christian who is a fan of fantasy this is the type of novel I’ve been looking for. Great for adolescents and teens especially. It has all your classic Lord of the Rings type monsters with goblins, orcs, trolls, etc but is very biblical in its message. It even has scriptures straight from the Bible and it’s theology regarding God is on point. I would say it’s more biblically explicit than Chronicles of Narnia or Wingfeather saga. The lessons taught are clear and easy to understand.

So, the reader's commentary BEFORE the story...

...prevented me from even WANTING to fall into the story. Telling me how you want me to interpret the story and what moral I should find and how you want me to act (or hope I act) after reading the story removes the enjoyment: now I have to read it with a particular ear rather than an open hope for entertainment. Maybe I would have gleaned all you wanted from the story, but now I will focus on that and perhaps miss even more. I mean, if you wrote well, then you wouldn't need to prep me ... it's like explaining a joke BEFORE telling it. I'd suggest skipping that intro to all: listen to the intro at the end, if you must, to compare what insight you gained to that which the reader hopes you gained. For me ... I'm done before even getting 15 minutes in. I have no problem with people preaching to me through the writing, but I do have a problem with being forced into seeing the writings AS preaching ... do that if you are asking me to turn to a Bible verse or the next chapter in our philosophy text book. ugh.
