His parents are legends. He craves adventure. He may just get more than he bargained for…
Theo Kane has lived in the shadows his entire life. Son to two legendary heroes, all he’s ever wanted is to follow in their footsteps and have adventures of his own.
When they were 16, they were taking on evil in the shape of High Chancellor Augustus Knight. Theo, at the same age, finds himself stuck in the quiet wooded region of Lignum, a fire raging inside him that yearns to be unleashed.
Because Theo isn’t just any young man. Along with his best friend, Ajax, son to great heroes himself, he has a power locked deep down inside, one that both of them have been trying to set free.
But with their parents warning against it, they’ve had to act in secret, sneaking off into the woods at night to hunt the beasts that prowl there. Night after night, they test themselves against the worst threats they can find. But none compare to what’s brewing in the darkness.
One evening, however, their quiet world erupts into life. When heroes start falling around the country, Theo and Ajax find themselves on a path neither of them could have predicted. Someone is taking out those involved in the war 20 years ago, and the two young men are about to find themselves right in the centre of the action.
Soon enough, their desire for adventure will be realised. Only, they might just have bitten off more than they can chew. And in time, maybe they’ll start to understand what their parents have always told that their power isn’t a gift, it’s a curse.
One that will change their lives forever.
The Seekers Trilogy is the sequel to the bestselling Watchers Trilogy, a series which has been compared to the Hunger Games and Divergent series’. It can be read as a standalone without having read the Watchers Trilogy first, although events in those books are referenced.

The story line was good in the first series. The characters kept me interested enough to continue through all the pages of errors. It's unbelievable that this made it to print.
The Seekers Trilogy was just as good as the Watchers Series! It took me 6 days to complete the trilogy! Theo and Ajax born hero's that show the true meaning of loyalty, valor, and love! Another masterpiece Mr. Edge!
This reads as an early semi-edited draft. Bad pronouns, confusing who is speaking in dialogue, wrong word choices (Iniquity used when inequity is intended, saddled when siddled is desired the list is huge.) continuity issues are few but a better editor would have caught them with rewrites.
Aside from getting a book that is under cooked, there are other significant issues with the story that keep it from any level of greatness. The archetypes, tropes, and memes are simplistic at best. Tertiary characters are nameless cardboard cutouts. It is a crime for a writer with such talent to be allowed to be so lazy. A better publisher, with a skilled editor could whip this into a gem. As it stands it would do poorly in a high school creative writing class
An absolute shame and travesty, if a available at a low price point there is some entertainment value in the many words that this box set represents.
Read both sets, The Seekers Trilogy and The Watchers series. The writing of them all compelled you to want to read further. Recommend them for young adults and anyone who likes fantasy.
