Three young heroes find themselves in a world descending into chaos in this high fantasy novella. - Kirkus Reviews

In this series opener, Hammers prose evokes the romantic diction and mythological complexity of the high fantasy genre, sometimes to an eye-rolling extent:- Kirkus Reviews.

Its unclear how many more installments Hammer has planned—one suspects its quite a few—but so far the pacing is brisk and the world, if not completely unique, is quite fun. - Kirkus Reviews
