Book Description

Publication Date: 10 Jan 2013 | Series: Ascendant Kingdoms Saga

FROM THE RUINS, A HERO WILL RISE

Condemned as a murderer for killing the man who dishonored his sister, Blaine McFadden has been banished for years to a penal colony in the frigid northern wastelands of Edgeland. Military discipline and the oppressive magic of the governor's mages keep a fragile peace, as colonists struggle to survive in the harshest of conditions. But now the supply ships have stopped coming, and this bodes ill for the kingdom that banished the colonists . . .

McFadden and the other exiles must decide their fate. They can remain in their icy prison, or they can return to the ruins of the kingdom that they once called home.

Either way, destruction lies ahead . . .

5.0 out of 5 stars Great start to a brilliant new series 17 Jan 2013
By alex2602
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I found this book when I was hunting around on my kindle for something new to read. I have been a long time fan of Gail Z Martins work and decided to give it a go. I am so glad that I did. It was a great book. The characters are all great and seem very real and most of them are likeable. The scenery and the imagery that is created is just fantastic, its not too over the top to make it unbelievable which some fantasy/fiction writers tend to do. It is set at a good pace and it is one of those books that kept me up to the early hours of the morning as I just wanted to read one more chapter. Any book that does that is brilliant in my eyes. If you are a fan of Martins other work then give this a go. It is the start of a very good series and I cannot wait to read the next book, I just hope it doesn't take too long.

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST READ FOR 2013 14 Jan 2013
By Naomi
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Was not sure I was going to enjoy new book from Gail Z Martin, but she didn't disappoint. I'm not really good at writing reviews, just reading books. so to keep it short and sweet.
I loved it! loved the plot, characters and the way the book switched from one set of character's story to the next. Feels more grown up, grittier and real,this maybe to do with the setting.
Could have read this within two days but had to go to work so finished within 3/4 days and hopefully wont have to wait too long for the 2nd book.
If your a fan of this writer it's definitely worth buying.

By Debbi Wood

Having recently read more than a few mediocre to downright shabby attempts at this genre it is such a relief to return to a master.

Excellent narrative, interesting characters and plenty of story contained in this book leaves me eagerly anticipating the next.

Keep up the good work!

4.0 out of 5 stars A great read 13 April 2013
By Lucifer Lunch
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
As a first book from this author I've read, I was more than . Whilst at times it wandered into schmaltz territory, this was more than compensated by an engaging story and good character s. I was only disappointed that it was not a self contained story and I'm left waiting for the next instalment.

3.0 out of 5 stars A little generic 31 Mar 2013
By N. Brett TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback
Hmmm, this was okay but I wasn't blown away.
Lord and heir is exiled to frozen wasteland because he kills his rather nasty father. While he is away the kingdom is at war and it goes badly with much loss of life and the apparent loss of magic. In this world many people have 'minor' magic that helps them in their everyday lives and of course some have 'big' magic, mages and so on.

Anyway our hero returns to his war torn homeland with a group of trusted friends to see if he can bring the magic back. They return to the usual battle between good and evil, but luckily some vampires are there to help...

Although this is easy reading (and I liked the idea of people with a touch of magic to help their beer brew or their bread to bake) our hero and his chums were far too perfect and lacked depth. While the story skipped along nicely our heroic Lord was just too clean and perfect and that took some of the tension and depth of the story away. Having said that, despite a slightly slow start, by the end there is a real pace to this. Now that everything is set, I will probably pick up the next one, but I hope the author gives more depth to her characters.
