Summary

Rangers aren’t born, they’re forged.

Never has this been more true for Asher, who must train a new ranger…or be the one to hunt him down. Surviving an encounter with a Werewolf has changed Russell Maybury’s life forever. If he is to salvage anything, he must craft a new life using his abilities to do good. Should he stray, he will answer to Asher.

Learning to fight monsters is all the more difficult when the monsters are the ones hunting you. In his possession, Russell holds an artifact of great significance, a relic central to a shadow war waged for centuries untold. On the one side, the Werewolves bring their claws. On the other, the Vorska, blood fiends who know only the night, bring their fangs.

In over his head, Asher must navigate a war of monsters and the machinations of ancient mages if he is to survive. And should he survive, there is still the Assassin that dwells within, a monster of his own making, that fights for supremacy.

One way or another, the ranger is going to bleed.

Great story, always enjoy Philips books!

Building a lot of back story about the characters that we are already familiar with. stopped my other series to listen to this one which I was waiting to come out and it was well worth it. Keep the stories coming!

Engaging and exciting

To be simple about it, i love this book. I have loved every part of this series so far and how it ties up into the echoes saga. Yes, vampires and werewolves are a cliché… but clichés are popular for a reason. This twist on the vampire vs werewolf dynamic doesn’t feel cliché to me personally as the focus of the history, knowledge and people make it so much more than that.

Vampires vs Werewolves? Really?

I think I’ve read/listened to all the available books by this author and I really like the characters but the plot on this one was thin at best and plagiarism at worst. And the bit about the creations not finding the creator quickly enough makes very little sense.

I listened to it pretty much straight through and it won’t stop me buying more from this author - I think think these characters deserve a better plot.

Maybe I’m getting a bit jaded…….

Story is getting a bit long for me now having read all the books so far was really waiting to read this one after the last . Still good but can’t help feeling as if a bit repetitive?

Still enthralling!

You would think that after 9 amazing books in the original series, there would be no way a 3 book prequel would be as good. You would be wrong. I am sad to finish this trilogy, not wanting to say goodbye to these characters. It was great getting the backstory of so many of them I had grown to love, yes love, in the Echoes Saga. I have felt all range of emotions as their lives unfolded, brought to life by the voice of Steven Brand. Thank you Philip C Quaintrell, I love your writing and truly admire your imagination! Now back to revisiting the whole series! It never gets old.

So happy to have more Asher!

In my view these prequel type books are never as good as the original series. However, as I have become so attached to the characters and this book has a smaller number of them present it’s nice to go deeper into the development of these relationships. I have so many hours of Steven Brand in my head his voice is like a good friend telling me a story. Philip C. Q. Is a wonderful writer and I want more.

great easy listening!

if your a fan of Philips other series then you'll be a fan of this. It's simpler for sure but it is still fantastic and gives great back story to some of your favorite characters.
