The Shield War #2
Shield of Darkness
War is coming between the Shield Knight and the Exarch. But neither sees the dark power manipulating the battle from the shadows.
To drive the Exarch from her stronghold on the Isle of Kordain, Ridmark is gambling on a bold strategy - to reach the Isle through the twisting caverns of the Deeps.
But the caverns of the Deeps are filled with deadly dangers and deeper mysteries.
And disturbing one of those mysteries might wake a darkness to dwarf even the Exarch herself...

Ridmark and his party traversed the deeps which went smoothly took them about a week having fought through a few lesser battle but other than that til the had to fight an ancient Dark Elf who was battling an Ancient Elven queen. Before he could be destroyed he escaped through a portal. The queen ends up dying after fighting so many years. But before dying she gives Ridmark an Ancient powerful artifact from a weapon centuries long past. The also gain an ally a High Elven bladeswinger. Some action in this one. Hopefully the next one picks up and there is more action in it but this one was a little to slow for my taste. But still a good read.

A sword and sorcery masterpiece with the perfect mix of drama, intrigue, plot twists and humour which make the characters so believable. Thank you Mr Moeller for another great read. Please don't make me want too long for the next one!!!!.

Book 2
Book 2 was an okay read and had a few errors throughout. The overall plot and characters has dragged a bit and is repetitive in places. The plot has developed well, but a bit predictable in overall telling of events. The characters are well developed, but the girl is still annoying.

Gripping tale
The second instalment takes you to the isle of Kordain, and builds through the several journeys of characters, there are some revelations along the way. As in previous books the author skilfully builds to the apex of the book, and then sets the scene for the next instalment.
You will certainly enjoy the ride.

Another good story!
He continually finds a way to expand the world. His ability to develop new characters is amazing. I particularly Iike how he builds drama around a hidden danger in this one

The threads are coalescing
Against the odds, Ridmark and his group have crossed the feels to Korea in. Other powers who are not in league with each other, but still pose a threat to the very fabric of the world are gathering. Who will prevail. A really delightful story.

Oh so great a read!
I loved this book. A few evil dark elves and the dammed spiders fight for a weapon that would kill everyone. At the center of the intrigue is a new girl who inherits strange magic. Will good or evil win? I'm downloading the next book now!

Series keeps getting
Can't wait for the next one to come out. Originally hoped Gareth would become more of a force, but I find I'm enjoying this just as much!
