Product Description

In one terrible instant, Kai is thrown from his privileged life and plunged into a conflict that began before he was born. Worse yet, he learns that the one man who can help him is his enemy.

Kiameron is the crown prince of DiNolfol. He is torn between two destinies - assuming the crown upon his father's death or answering the call of his non-Human traits, abilities associated with the mysterious Stravad.

The decision is made for him with the destruction of everything he holds dear. Armed with his burgeoning powers and a mysterious talisman that he does not know how to use, Kai strikes back at Gava, the despot who destroyed his life.

Crippled by self-doubt and fear, he falters in his quest, until he meets a man who forces him to take action. However, his new ally is hiding secrets, secrets that will rob Kai of everything he holds sacred.

Well worth reading 10 Jan 2011
Format:Paperback
ML Hamilton writes a tale replete with sympathetic characters caught up in epic conflict against the evil besetting his world.

The beginning is somewhat slow as great care is taken to establish the setting and people. But this approach pays off and is necessary once the action begins. We are introduced and become familiarized with an land uneasily populated by three different races and cultures: Humans, Stravads and Orahim.

It falls to the crown prince Kiameron of DiNolFol to challenge the evil Gava and his hordes of metallic Gaviston, merciless automatons who destroy everything in their path. Assisted by a stalwart group of companions and one ally whose motives and past are somehow linked with his, Kai (Kiameron) goes forth on a quest that will involve sacrifices from the most unlikely members of his band.

This was an enjoyable read and one well worth the time.

Emerald is one of those books that I really wish I had written. Reminiscent of the great classical tales of good versus evil, it is one of those slow burners that will make you think for days after you have closed the hefty pages. A world which is inhabited by a cast of characters ranging from the heroic to the repulsive, which alludes to the fantastical setting of the great fantasy stories (Lord of the Rings comes to mind), but yet is so allegorically earthly becomes the battleground for a war to end all wars. The hero, Kai, is a carefully constructed and multi-layered hero, with a three dimensional feel, which is so lacking in lesser fantasy novels. As the narrative pulls you relentlessly in, you find yourself living each page with Kai, and relating to him like you would a close friend or family member. Although not my usual genre, and coming in at a arm-aching 596 pages, I was quickly hooked. Part of this maybe that although Emerald cries out fantasy from the cover, to the names, there is really a darn good, twisting and turning, and - at the climax shocking - thriller in there. In fact there is something for everyone. If you simply like reading good books, then this is one for you. Highly recommended. A must read.

Epic! 21 July 2011
By L. Solt
Format:Kindle Edition
Initially, I wasn't too sure about this book, but I downloaded the free sample and was hooked roughly halfway down the second page! I was amazed with the scope of this book. It was thoroughly enjoyable with characters that you really get to know and love. The book is also really long which is great as I was reading it and thinking - oh I really don't want this book to be over yet! But it is re-readable - I am now halfway through the third time reading it and I still love it. The imagination of this author has no bounds - a whole world has been created, with different species and languages and customs. It was truly an amazing read and I can't believe I only got it for 86p!
Definately recommend this amazing novel!
