The Vanguards of Scion Book 1: Part 1: The Servant's Blade
"I feel like I'm on the ground floor of a new Robert Jordan as he builds this interwoven story and marches them off to the drums of war." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐-Amazon review for The Vanguards of Scion part 2Power corrupts absolutely. The Vanguards of Scion is a dark epic fantasy story about five characters who are given great powers by dark beings from another dimension. We follow the five as they move through the East Realm and soon discover their powers have unimaginably horrid costs and the stakes keep stacking against them as the world they once knew begins to change forever because of their own mistakes. Michael E. Thom wrote the story inspired by the characters from his D&D game and the players within it. He also got inspiration from Quentin Tarantino films, Clive Barker and Stephen King stories. "DRAGONLANCE ON METH" -⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Amazon review THE MOST POWERFUL MAGE IN THE UNIVERSE CREATES SCION, A POCKET DIMENSION FOR HARVESTING THE MOST POWERFUL MAGIC IN THE UNIVERSE, BUT IT IS DYING.

Excellent book
Great characters. Story moves along well. No dull moments. Has a Game of Thrones feel to the writing style. Ready for more!

Read it!
Let me first say that what I say first is true to many of my favorite books ever. I struggle to get attached to anyone in the story for the first couple of chapters. It's no fault of the author I believe because many of my favorite fantasy novels have started this way. Once an attachment develops it takes off quickly. The pace is good, characters get fleshed out well by the end of part 1, and the plot is interesting, can't tell if the main antagonist is really a protagonist yet, and that makes a good story.

Great read!
I look forward to the next installment. I was at first confused as to which character was talking. My fault for expecting another simple ordinary writing style. However the unexpected writing style and story line was exciting. It’s a short read but we’ll worth the time.
