Great fantasy, excellent narration

A super series of atmospheric, action packed stories. Michael Timmons has created a fascinating descriptive world with strong characters and great settings. All the stories feature a quest or a journey, a man on the run from a crime he did not commit, a race and a thief with forbidden magic. I liked all the stories but the story of the race to join the coven guard was my favourite. I look forward to reading more by this author. C J Grey does an excellent job with the narration, a pleasure to listen too. Highly recommended I received a complimentary copy from the Author and am leaving a honest voluntary review
