The Timeless One

by Lexy Wolfe

The students of Almek succeeded in saving their friend and master by returning him to Fortress, home of the Timeless One. Now their true test begins, learning to embrace the power and knowledge of the Guardians of Time to join their ranks.

But the sacred haven is not the peaceful sanctuary it had once been. The ripples of the Great War that shattered the world's balance and sundered the lands scarred this territory as well. Without those of the fourth nation swearing loyalty to the temporal goddess, shadows have tainted the imbalanced ranks of the Guardians.

However, a dire discovery threatens. The tightknit group of friends discovers a curse born during the war between the warriors and mages that, if not stopped, threatens to destroy not only them, but all hope for bringing healing to the Timeless One's wounds.

Reviews

[Louise · Rating 5 out of 5]

Being the third book in the series this book has well established characters and you think you have gotten to grips with the story. Suddenly, Things change. The characters expand and change at a rate that is as shocking as it awe inspiring. The twists in the story that have been somewhat, hinted at, through the other two books, creep up on you and hit you with a bang.

I really LOVE these books but the pace of this book is so fast that it left me dizzy. I found myself having to re-read certain paragraphs to make sure I had fully understood what was being said. Don't get me wrong, this is in no way detrimental to the story but after the more sedate pace of the second book it occasionally felt hard to keep up.

The story never slows and you simply cannot turn the pages fast enough. Yelling in frustration, as the characters do, at the only subtle hints and whispers of an enemy that is never clearly defined. Yet no less evil for it.

I love the change in dynamics to the group that this part of the story brought with it and the new players in the game. In all honesty I cannot wait for the next book to come out. I will devour it with every bit of relish as I did with this one.

If you like epic stories with myth, magic, intrigue and adventure? Seriously, GO AND BUY THESE BOOKS! This is story telling on a level I have not come across for a long time.
