All Will Blackwood ever wanted was a little adventure. A fantasy addict and apprentice builder in New Orleans, struggling to make ends meet, he has long wished for an escape from the real world.
Late one night, he and his brothers receive a surprise inheritance: a staff with a mysterious stone on top, a pair of rogue's bracers, and a sword that Will can barely lift. A man who stops bullets with a glance shows up to take the sword, and the three brothers barely escape with their lives. Searching for an explanation, it is not until a magical key whisks them across time and space, into a terrifying version of New Orleans ruled by wizards, that Will accepts the truth about his family's past.
It seems Will Blackwood has found his adventure. But this isn't one of his fantasy novels, or a gaming campaign with friends. In his father's world, magic and monsters are real. Choices are life and death. And they have no idea how to get home....

An excellent adventure
I requested a copy of this book to review as it looked interesting and it did not disappoint. You follow three brothers as they enter a parallel world and get to explore this new world with them as they are forced on an adventure. It was well written and the narrator is excellent. My only issue was that despite the brothers being quite different from one another I found it difficult to differentiate between them as they spend the majority of the book together.

Action, Magic, Worlds Travelling - Perfect
I had not heard of Layton Green nor his books but when I was given the chance of receiving Book One of The Blackwood Saga for free, I checked out what the story was about and it was my type of book.
Its has magic, magicians, fantastic creatures, two worlds ( so far anyway), ordinary guys. Combat, death and a mystery.
I cannot really say more as I feel anything will give away to much.
I simply love the book and the characters, I have laughed and cried along with them - the author has crafted the story so well that you find you do make that emotional bond with all of them good or bad.
The narrator is a perfect choice, his voice is just right to bring you along and involve you.
I have already pre-ordered book two The Spirit Mage and cannot wait until it is released - was disappointed when I went to buy it and found it has not been released yet, if it had I would be listening to it as I type this rather than a book by a different author.
