Blademaster: Wizard Hunter

by J.T. Williams

When the barriers between worlds begin to thin, Rukes, Blademaster of Urlas, faces his greatest challenge.

After successfully thwarting one ritualist's attempt to breach the Sacred Realm, he discovers a far greater coordinated ritual sites forming a perfect septagram around Urlas, each designed to create permanent gateways between realms during the cosmic event known as The Convergence.

The stakes rise when his oldest friend Jalin is captured at the desert temple, intended as a living vessel for otherworldly powers. Against the High Council's wishes, Rukes assembles a rescue team to venture into increasingly hostile territory. With his trusted archon Oaur and a human battle-mage with ties to Jalin, he must navigate treacherous politics, ancient magic, and entities from beyond the Void.

But as Rukes closes in on those responsible, he discovers the architect behind it all is one of their own—an exiled High Elf with plans to forever shatter Urlas's isolation. In a race against cosmic forces, Rukes must rescue his friend and stop the merging of realms before The Convergence reaches its peak, or watch as everything he has sworn to protect is irrevocably transformed.

What a great Fantasy!

We have a bit of everything in this story, from the prerequisite quest to find and keep an evil being from destroying their world, to great friends and relationships. There’s heartache, pain, and loss. There’s also heroism, strength and a bit of mystery involved as well. This story is very well written, the plot is exceptional and all the characters are engaging, from the hero to the evil genius. I highly recommend this story to all lovers of epic fantasy!

I received an Advanced Reader’s Copy and am voluntarily leaving this review.

This was a great read where we continue following Rukes the Blademaster himself as he faces his greatest threat to date. When his oldest friend Jalin is taken, a rescue team is put together to venture into dangerous territory to save Jalin even if it is a trap. An intense and intriguing read, incredibly descriptive and beautiful world building, this author just pulls you back into this amazing world from the get go with the action, the adventure and the drama.

What an epic adventure, the storyline is totally gripping and with the assortment of different characters this made for one un-put a downable read.
This tale of the swordmaster is a read which I have no problem in recommending to other readers.

Rukes has the challenge of his life trying to figure out what’s happening. Danger all around, will he be able to solve the problem. Another great story that will draw you into another world and not let go until you finish the book.
