Synopsis of  Orrleth , Volume One:

Driven from their home by pursuers garbed in shroud of night, Tyrus Savage and his younger brothers, Jayce and Caius, are awakened in a distant land by a whimsical girl named Myeu, and her band of misfits.  Doubting this questionable alliance and still on the run, they learn to trust one another in order to make sense of the chaos that they have all been thrown into.

Finding their new location to be that of Orrleth, a world far different from their own, the Savage siblings’ limits are tried as they adapt to the dangerous and mystical life forced upon them.

Realizing his own latent capabilities after obtaining the legendary sword, Frostsinger, Tyrus must piece together fragments of a forgotten prophecy, freeing the inhabitants of Orrleth from the bondage of a fallen government, while honing his skills to combat the tests and afflictions that stand between him and his return home.

“An Absolute Must Read Inspirational Adventure Novel!”

“Definitely the best book so far in the Orrleth series! This book is full of adventure, action and suspense – So much so, it was difficult to put the book down! Tyrus travels around the magical world or Orrleth in search for the rest of the lost pack, and finds new friends along the way. The biggest part of this story is the self-growth of the main character Tyrus and his internal fight to choose the path of Light or Darkness. I was also inspired by the theme to forgive others and to look beyond what appears on the outside, trying to look for the good in everyone! Really inspiring story, definitely lifts your spirits! Absolutely recommend this story to anyone interested in a hearty adventure novel!”

Synopsis:

Snow falls, but it is not without blood in Book Three of the Orrleth Series.

Left for dead and the woman he loves gone, Tyrus must cast away the unnecessary and unworthy aspects of himself in order to pursue his goals without hindrance. Changing his view of happiness and forging new alliances, he travels the globe in search of a way back to his friends and family.

Subject to the violently beautiful nature and elements of the uncharted planet, the First King awakens within himself his latent abilities lost in days long past, learning of the true scope of his existence. Frostsinger at his side, he delves into its secrets and converses with the sacred blade, finding new power to topple those who impede his ambitions.

Refining himself into one more fit for the responsibilities thrust upon him, the eldest Savage son carves his way back to the Academy, finding that he was not alone in hardship. The members of the Lost Pack reunited through trial and stronger than ever, they set out for Orrleth Castle and the main root of the world’s decay—Tenrael Krassden. As our band of unlikely alliances wars against the Luemin and its head, darker forces coalesce in the shadows and the blackest of mysteries begin coming to light.

Each turn of events more trying of his conviction than the last, Tyrus learns that though we are all finite, our potential is just the opposite.

“If I am the only one left to see this work through to the end, I will.”

“Discover yourself as you join Tyrus on his self-discovering journey in the second addition of the Mesmerising Orrleth Series.,”

11 May 2015, By Cascade Gonpory

Verified Purchase

This review is from: Orrleth: Burning Cold: (Orrleth Series Volume 2) (Kindle Edition)

“Book 2 of the Orrleth Series, and it’s just as good as the first! This time, without giving out too much, we continue the Journey with Tyrus Savage as he faces the most difficult decision yet. Will Tyrus choose to walk the path of Snow or the path of Blood? You’ll also get to learn a little more about some of the characters from Book 1 and it’ll shed some new light and give the story a brand new direction.

“Just like book 1, the reader is sucked into the magical and mysterious world of Orrleth. Thomas McClellan’s writing technique and description is unlike any i’ve read before. I could not put this book down! I went and read book 1 again straight after finishing this!

“Burning cold is a little more violent then book one. There is a part in the book that is pretty gnarly, but an absolutely fantastic read nonetheless! I highly suggest reading this book!”
