by Timothy J.R. Rains

Evil Looms Over Visala

All she requires is one final sacrifice.

About the author

Bewitched at a young age by all things to do with swords and magic, Canadian fantasy author Timothy J. R. Rains spent his youth slaughtering Minotaurs in the misty woods of rural Nova Scotia.

He studied cartography at the Centre of Geographic Sciences and has a degree in theology from Briercrest College. When he isn’t caught up in another dimension, he’s usually out in the middle of some cold river with a cigar in his teeth and a fishing rod in his hands. He lives with his wife and daughter in Riverview, New Brunswick.

I liked this book and given this is the first I’ve read by the author and it was free on Amazon, I thought this was quite intriguing.

I feel that this book would have been a really good prequel to a series to introduce the Priestess of Suor into a much larger world. If this was to expand, I think this has done a good job for scene setting. If this does expand into a series then I believe this should have been a bigger, full sized book that could go into much more detail about what happened and go into some more character depth.

Other than this, it’s a free read from Amazon that’s worth the download.
