What Readers Are Saying
James has once again delivered an enthralling read. I don't often read from this genre, but since being introduced to his writing (the Evermen series) I find I'm always looking forward to his next installment. The way he crafts the book's setting, its characters and their various challenges and triumphs is fantastic, and makes it easy to imagine a world filled with sorcerers, dragons, naval battles and more. I thoroughly recommend this series and I'm sure anyone who picks up these books will enjoy them immensely!

James Maxwell is a very descriptive writer. He really takes you into the story. I enjoyed the second book more than the first.

The story continues! This book series is a winding story with many characters and story lines. Of course it's a fictional world but it's a good story and something different. On to book 3.

Excellent Read! Book two is action-packed and continues strong character and story line development. Although I was not expecting the continuation into a third book, I am excited for the story to continue.
