Rise of First World
For Iain, village life wasn't too exciting until a sudden change in climate forces him to cross the sea in search of a new home for his tribe. There he discovers the stories about strange and mystical creatures are not only real, but more beautiful and terrifying then imagined.
Alone and plagued by a bitter sense of loss he is drawn into a maze of interwoven worlds where everyone he meets seems to have their own agenda for him. But battling dragons and an evil sorcerer aren't his only problems. He must discover the one attribute the Hue-man tribes posses that can save them from extinction.
A fierce woman warrior, a mysterious Seraphim, and Iain's own desire to overcome his past provide the best chance of survival. Even those he trusts and fights for may be plotting the destruction of his people and the Rise of First World.

Iain lives a village life even though he is the son of the leader of the region. Then things change a great freeze forces his people and especially him to move out of the island he has lived in. As he explores and ventures out he meets fantastic creatures and has to use every little bit of knowledge he was trained while growing up.
He has his own magic and he must struggle to not fail.
This is high fantasy and it is well written. I just felt the pace was not for me. Still a good book.

This novel comes with all the beautiful characters you'd expect from a high-fantasy novel - a young man on a quest for mankind, shifting beings from the realm of the fae, dragons, and a brave female warrior. My biggest fear when I picked up this book was that it would have dozens of hard to memorize names. Thankfully, that wasn't the case.
This is a story of friendship and personal as well as collective growth. My favorite thing about this book were the valuable ethical and spiritual lessons that the characters encountered during their journey. It made me look deep into the existing problems we're facing in our world.
This book was fun to read. I recommend it.
