The watering holes of the Plain are drying up, the fearsome fanghorn grow more numerous, and bad omens abound. Wulfgar, a leader of the Altaii people, must contend with twin queens, warlords, prophets and magic in hopes of protecting his people and securing their future. Elspeth, a visitor from another world, holds the answers, but first Wulfgar must learn to ask the right questions.
But what if the knowledge that saves the Altaii will also destroy them?
Warrior of the Altaii is a fantastically dark, action-packed novel filled with interesting characters and an intriguing magic system.
The book is a stand alone, and it was written long before the Eye of the World, so keep in mind that it is from a different time and place. The protagonist is a warrior of a nomadic culture. Sensitivities to our modern culture are not found in this time and place. The characters have depth and feeling to them. They make good choices, they make bad choices. They are heroic and they are flawed.
This book had strategy and plenty of twists and turns. The
characters are good and solid ideas of fighting with great
descripton especially when fighting much larger
parties. I liked this book because the characters and
plots were wel thought out.
This book is an entertaining standalone fantasy that could have done with more character development and less flexing.
This book is pretty amazingly written for an author’s first attempt at a novel. The characters are a bit bland, but the world building is pretty good, and the story is entertaining.
