Chronicle As Books The Merchant and the Menace (The Seraphinium #1)

The Seraphim. Beings of power, created to guide the world in times of trouble. They live their lives of near immortality in servitude to a lesser creature, man.

One rebelled. Amird, the Hand of the Creator, bridled at the sovereignty of his lord. In defiance he murdered a brother and was cast into the Mists of Chaos.

Millennia passed as the Deceiver plotted his return. Backed by the might of a seemingly unstoppable army of Ulrog Stone Men and their fire-eyed Malveel Lords, Amird plans to wrest control of the world from the Creator and rain violence on the humans he once served.

All that stands between Amird and his triumphant return are the remnants of battered human armies and the hope that Seraphim, loyal to the Creator, still roam this world.

Kael knows little of this struggle. His quiet village lies deep in the Southlands, unchanged and unchallenged by the wars raging in the frozen North. In fact, the boy longs for a bit of adventure and freedom from the boring routine at his father’s inn.

Freedom comes at a cost. Kael’s first journey outside his secluded village results in a tragedy so deep it destroys the boy’s sheltered world and immerses him in the struggle.

Revelations surface. Kael uncovers a past linking him to legends, grapples with a present that resembles nothing he knows, and confronts a future that demands he tap long dormant power and stake a claim in the defense of the human races.

Kael’s first step toward that future lies through the darkness of the Nagur Wood, and rumor has it something prowls the Nagur!

Critique Containing Books The Merchant and the Menace (The Seraphinium #1)

A pretty good version of a "lord of the rings" knock off. I mean it is a jr varsity, B type of read. Since I got a Kindle, these are the kind of books I have been reading since they are often free or a couple of bucks. I read way to many books to be able to spend the normal $10 to read the top authors. Gonna have to start going back to the library.

I really liked this book. There are a few things I look for in a good book: a good adventure, comedy, and great characters. I found all of them while reading this book. I highly recommend to those who like epic adventures. Make sure you have plenty of time because once you start reading it, you won't be able to put it down.

I am the author of this book, therefore, I think it is a first rate, enjoyable read :) I am heavily influenced by Tolkien, Eddings, Brooks, MacDonald, Lewis, Asimov, Herbert, Card and Dahl. I believe I have a unique take on the epic quest and as the story progresses it takes the genre to places many others do not. Additionally, I have a knack for tying together a far reaching and ambitious storyline and making it cohesive and coherent. The Seraphinium not only follows the journey of one young

Is this author thinking outside the box? No, not really. The story begins as pretty standard fare. However, the world building is solid and the construction of this fantasy universe is great. Good guys, bad guys, gods, angels and demons, alternate worlds. We are taken on a typical quest, but along the way we learn a good deal about each character and their story. The tension begins to build and by the end of this first book we end up hooked. I'm eager to see if all this build up will translate

Great book! I very much enjoyed reading about the beginning of this young man's adventure. I also like that the author takes the time to give the reader several background stories for this world. I have already recommended this book to many of my friends.

This book is story setup woven around world building. Many of the backstories are told in flashback and stand alone as interesting narratives. The main story (or current event) is the unveiling of the young man Kael as a new Seraph. The plot moves slowly but this is due to the side journeys into the history of the world and the characters Kael encounters. I found the back stories engaging enough to make up for the slowness of the overall story. In particualr, the story of Brelg and Yanwin is a
