Review – Battle Mage

Battle Mage

Only the power of a battle mage can save the world.

 

The world is falling to the burning shadow of the Possessed and only the power of a battle mage can save it. But the ancient bond with dragonkind is failing. Of those that answer a summoning too many are black. Black dragons are the enemy of humankind. Black dragons are mad.

Falco Dante is a weakling in a world of warriors, but worse than this, he is the son of a madman. Driven by grief, Falco makes a decision that will drive him to the brink of despair. As he tries to come to terms with his actions Falco follows his friends to the Academy of War, an elite training school dedicated to martial excellence. But while his friends make progress he struggles to overcome his doubts and insecurity. Even Queen Catherine of Wrath has her doubts about Falco’s training.

While the Queen tries to unite the Kingdoms against the Possessed, Falco struggles to overcome his fears. Will he unlock the power trapped inside of him or will he succumb to madness and murder like his father?

Readper Review:
The British produce excellent fantasy writers. Think Tolkein, Lewis, and Rowling. Following in that great tradition, Peter A. Flannery offers Battle Mage, an excellent epic fantasy. Two or three chapters in, readers realize they are in the hands of a highly skilled story teller. The action is intense, the scenery vivid, the characters well-drawn. You have an orphaned youth with a shameful past, a demonic horde bearing down on a defenseless town, a dire need for strong soldiers, dragons, and a battle mage. That’s just the beginning.

This title hangs out in the top 5-10K on Amazon and has garnered over 1,200 reader reviews with a current astonishing average of 4.8/5 stars, an absolutely incredible achievement. Five out of five stars from us. Highly recommended.
