![]() ![]() If you're a fan of epic fantasy, I recommend it. This is epic fantasy, so of course a prophecy is involved, and the future of both the Tiernai and Dynian races hangs in the balance. ![]() Kier learns his father is near death, and begins the journey home to Alcor - accompanied, at Gwythion's insistence, by JonMarc. Before long, Kier discovers the attack was not at all random, and in fact, it's related to the reason for Gwythion's summons. His life is saved by a man who appears to be a Dynian adventurer - but, surprise, JonMarc is a slave who believes he has never set foot in Alcor. Kier, who is stationed abroad, is mulling over his latest message from Gwythion when he is set upon in the dark. He trained with a Fithlon monk before assuming his military duties, and even now Gwythion contacts him on occasion.Īnd so it is as the novel opens. Many Dynian have some magical abilities, and Kier is one of them. He's the bastard son of a Tiernai noble, and his mother was Dynian, the race the Tiernai conquered upon their arrival in the Ten Kingdoms. Kier is a captain in the armed forces of Alcor - a high rank indeed for someone with his mixed bloodline. That's how much I enjoyed these characters and the world the author has created for them. ![]() The Talent Sinistral is Patten's first book, and I hope it's the first of a series. ![]()
