Mage Hunter: Episode 3: Bared Blades

The Ursian Chronicles #3

by Ty Johnston

Finding his fate entwined with magic, Sergeant Guthrie Hackett escapes the barbaric Dartague once more and returns to Captain Werner's militia camp to discover a forward branch of the Ursian military has arrived in readiness for a thrust against the barbarian attackers. With the army are two mage hunters, knights of the Holy Order of the Gauntlet, their mission to hunt down and slay the wyrd woman who leads the Dartague.

With Guthrie ordered to lead the way, the knights trek into the Dartague mountains and head for the wyrd woman's encampment. What they eventually discover is a new figure behind the scenes, one who has the potential to make matters more complex and much worse for the Ursians.

Good read

This is something different than what I normally read but I started this series awhile ago and just got some time to try and read more of it. It is a good storyline with magic from the old days and let you put yourself into the story with your imagination. I liked it. I plan on finishing the series this time.
