If there is to be any hope, Garrett will have to become the leader his friends need, reinforcing the loyalty of his band of sages. But one of Garrett’s friends is hiding a deadly secret, while others are silently awaiting their own chances for revenge. Will their individual motives threaten the solidarity of the group? But the greatest threat of all may be someone from Garrett’s own past – someone full of hate and growing in power.

God Stones 4 Keeps the Action Coming!
I can't believe I have to wait for the fifth and final book of the God Stones series to get here! I tried pacing myself, but the story wouldn't let me look away. I hope I don't have to wait too long for that final book!

A masterpiece of a creative fantasy series!!
The fourth book in the series and it still has me on the edge of my seat, flipping through the pages!! This series has my heart racing, my eyes tearing up and laughing out loud! It’s absolutely engaging and so vivid that it feels as though I’m watching a movie while I read it!!
The main characters are so real that I can put myself in their shoes and experience everything they are feeling!! The imagery is fabulous, I can visualize so easily from Schafer’s awesome world building!!
This is a fantasy series I would place alongside Lord of the Rings, in that it’s so creative, adventurous and total perfection!! I HIGHLY recommend this to all, young adult through adult!! Now onto the fifth and final book!!!

This book was CRAZY good! It was an edge-of-your-seat, can't turn the pages fast enough, exhale the breath you didn't know you were holding, masterpiece and I CANNOT wait for the finale!! I think one of the things I love about this author's work is the perfect balance of heartfelt emotion and action. No one is ever safe, the twist is unpredictable, and the story keeps flowing with layers of new information. What a ride and what a talented author!

Awesome story
Can't wait to find out what happens next. Cliffhangers are usually not my thing but. I'm on the edge of my seat.

All the journeys and action comes to a peak… then the book ends! Mr. Schafer has done it again!
This is the fourth book in the series. (Book 5 is getting close to release)
You get all the feels crashing in on you and the feverish peak of everything happening. Then fade to black and wait. Lol yes I usually hate that, but it’s just hooked me.
I’ve just finished my second round of this series. There are audiobooks and thought it would be the perfect opportunity to refresh my mind and prepare me for book 5.
The narration is on point! The action and characters come to life. I feel like I gained a little more from listening to the stories.
