The Kingdoms & the Elves of the Reaches: A Keeper Martin's Tale

The Kingdoms and Elves of the Reaches #4

by Robert Stanek

To turn back the tides of war, Queen Mother sent her most trusted warriors on a perilous journey across the Great Sea. But the elves were betrayed by one of their own. Only a handful survived the ambush that followed, only two reached the far shores. But they did not find quick allies. They found a kingdom under siege and a shattered alliance. The elves proved themselves to the men that defended Quashan'. They along with the mysterious Xith, the would-be mage Vilmos, Princess Adrina and their friends helped turn the battle in Great Kingdom's favor. For their support, the elves were granted an audience with the king. Yet great deeds could not undo the past, or change the prejudice of men. Elves and men are enemies, as it has been through time. The Alder King had his own concerns. The kingdom alliance was shattered. An ally, and a great king was dead. War between the kingdoms seemed inevitable. If there was any hope of restoring the alliance, he must rid the kingdom of the enemy's spies. But was such a thing possible without the backing of those he needed the most?

So glad I found this series

Couldn't put the first book down and then bought all the books! Who doesn't enjoy a good epic fantasy novel? Exactly. So if you enjoy a good one, you'll fall in love with this one - you may even lose sleep like I did.

Finale as good as hoped

I wasn't sure if the author could deliver a finale as good as the story, so I was definitely pleased that the ending is exceptional and satisfying.
