For over two decades, Greemir, the god of creation has raged war on the kingdoms of Valoris in search of the twelve renaissance runes, which can consolidate his power, or destroy him. Many have sought the runes and failed, some even consider them a myth, including Mikaelis, a diplomat mage who suddenly finds himself entrusted by the goddess of death to find the runes and restore balance to Valoris. Accompanied by six warriors of different classes ranging from an assassin to a priestess, he must follow the writings of an ancient book to locate the runes, unaware that a second book exists and that Greemir has it. Throughout his journey over a land of contrasting sights and ancient mysteries, Mikaelis will need all his diplomatic skills and help he can muster to overcome the challenges presented along the way while he desperately tries to find a way to reconnect to his daughter after fourteen years of separation. Every new rune found only increases Greemir’s wrath and his effort to beat Mikaelis to the next location.
M. J. Finley has a deep passion for history and human nature. His drive to learn as much as he can about both subjects is fuelled by his endless curiosity. Much of what he learned is reflected in his work, and those interested in these subjects will be handsomely rewarded by his well-tuned characters and historic events referenced in his writing. Always the perfectionist, M. J. Finley considers that there is always room for improvement, and thus, is always in search of ways to tweak the story or characters to make them more interesting.
A great book, without a doubt, the suspense, the climax, the characters, all unique yet different in their on special ways, I fully recommend this book to anyone that adores fantasy,suspense, comedy and mystery at it's finest!!
