The Druid's Spear
Ken Aoki's world is shattered with the loss of his mother. All that is left is two strange objects she willed to him. If the doomsayers all over the media are right, and everything is soon to end, then at least the apocalypse will end his pain.
When he stumbles onto his best friend's corpse and is attacked by a powerful stranger that leaves him for dead, he wakes to find himself mixed up with cave dwellers whose hopes rest on the mysterious artifacts in his possession.
The beautiful and aloof Rin Uchida helps Ken discover there’s more to himself than he ever knew. As the planet is bombarded by natural disasters, Ken and Rin race against time to stop a dangerous adversary that will do anything to complete his objective – destroy humanity at any cost.

I'm one of those readers who loves a good fantasy. I love to be taken to other worlds, learn about people who may be half human and have supernatural abilities. The Druid's Spear was the perfect book for me. I enjoyed the adventure that Ken, Rin, Tambo and the others characters took me on. Even the villains were interesting and intriguing. All the characters make you want to get lost in their world and know them better. You will be eager to know about these half humans and, well I can't tell you what the other half is, you will have to read the story for yourself. I need part two of the story to be release soon. I'm curious to know what is the tension between the old man and Rin's father and is there a love affair brewing between Rin and Ken. Oh, I need to what happen to the villains. So if you love fantasy and enjoy dreaming and living in other worlds for a few hours this is the book for you. Even if you have never tried fantasy give this one a chance, you will be happy you did.

Loved it!
I got this book for free of the writer in return for an honest review. So here goes!
Don't let the prologue put you off!
Honestly I got a bit confused reading the prologue and found it a bit too descriptive and couldn't understand what was going on, I would recommend skipping it and just going straight to the first chapter as you aren't really missing anything.
Once I started though this book only seemed to get better and better the more I read, I love fantasy books but I haven't read anything like this one before, it was very well written and very descriptive which was good (not as much as the prologue) I honestly can't wait to buy the next book and discover what happens next
I will definitely be looking out for more of Parker Paynes work!

The Druid's Spear is the first book in what looks to be a very gripping fantasy series! The story combines urban fantasy with galactic mythology and blends Eastern and Western fantasy styles together in an action-packed epic that will make your head spin. The East Asian flavor makes this book stand out from other fantasy tales, which usually rely in medieval imagery. But this is no Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. The story is set in modern times with just the right amount of supernatural strangeness sprinkled in. The characters and plot were intriguing, and the last fifteen pages were super intense and twisty. Can't wait for book two!

I don't normally like fantasy. At all. But I was pleasantly surprised to find this book changed my opinion on the matter. Filled with strong, vibrant characters, as well as mythology and an intense aura of mystery, The Druid's Spear is a fast-paced adventure that will leave you wanting more once you reach the end. And thank goodness this is book one, because there is more ahead for Ken and Rin, I can feel it:)

What do you get when you toss an average joe, a warrior girl, and a crazed sociopath into the same bowl? A tasty salad topped with adventure.
It became more and more difficult to put down the further I went. My eye is difficult to capture, and this fantasy adventure caught it.
5/5, sequel needed.

Pretty good read
I liked the story but found that the Japanese names and titles confused me a bit. I also noticed that some words were missing or reversed which was distracting.
