Wanderer: Origin of the Nature Walker

by Nancy E. Dunne

It has been 200 years since the Forest War divided the races, pitting elf against elf, dragon against dragonkind, and the Nature Walker, highest of all the druids of the Great Forest, has gone missing without naming a successor. The balance of the world has been thrown off kilter.Welcome to Orana, where a menace prowls the Great Forest by night and no one in the Tree City nor the High Citadel is safe. A young wood elf named Gin who has barely begun her studies as a druid finds herself thrown into the wider world beyond the Forest. Can she find a way to tame the wilds of her world, righting old wrongs and bringing centuries' long enemies together?

Gin, a novice druid from Aynamaede, finds herself travelling throughout Orana, her ancestral home, with unexpected company after a series of unfortunate events.

I found myself cheering on our band of unlikely comrades. Ongoing obstacles and challenges face the group as a quest is placed before them.

An enjoyable story and worth a read!

Great characters and worldbuilding

I fell in love with Gin and Sath when I read a spin-off book to this series. It was so fun to go back to the original series and see how these characters first meet and the start of their relationship. I also enjoyed reading the origins of Taeben. It's always interesting to see how a character evolves to become the antagonist. The author brings this fantasy world to life so easily. You get everything you want in this magical cast of characters from faithful friends to conniving enemies. I am off to download Book Two of this series.
