Azelom: The Rise of the Mountain God

by B.G. Franklin

In the Age of Discovery, the mighty Rovart Dominion rules the world with an iron fist. Through brutal force and indoctrination, their empire has spread from the sprawling mountains and hills of Rovan in the east, across the Solemn Sea, to the mighty Afall Mountains in the west. On the far western edge of the empire, the young orphan Baric is raised by the village cook, Godfrey. Prophecy, peril, and fate align, casting Baric into a magical journey and adventure of a lifetime. The battle for freedom is sparked with a single flame, which rages into a fiery maelstrom as a people rise to fight a war for deliverance from tyranny.

[Ann Robbins · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great Book

I really liked this book. Very interesting cast of characters. Lots of diversity. So far I have not found a sequel to this book to take up where it left off. Will continue hunting.

Never really read this genre before. What a surprise, a really good read! The story and characters are engrossing and compelling, and this guy can really write.
