As the darkness unfolds, Roscoe Coats - a hunter without a past - seeks the impossible.  The Seam between this world and the next, just ripped... Nearly a millennium ago, countless necromancers of the Night Fold were banished to a realm unseen. Since then, the continent of Prim Ordal has slowly recovered, its fault-lines and fractures from the Barren Wars fading with the winds of time. But now those times have changed A ferocious blight has been unleashed, rapidly transforming living things everywhere into deathly perversions of themselves. As the darkness unfolds, Roscoe Coats - a hunter without a past - seeks the impossible. A power. A mastery, foretold by legend and forgotten by man. Now, coveted by a legion undead and surrounded by powerful magites, Roscoe must face the quest of his life. In a world where mana is feared and despised, he might just harbor the rarest of all... The clock is ticking. The blight is spreading, the mana is mutating. As an advanced entity from the north, New Fate, tracks the developing magites at every turn, crafting its sickening scheme... Can the young Master rise before the Nether consumes? Or are some gifts too good to be true? Excerpt One mistake and he was dead. A second’s lapse in thought and action, and they’d have him. From the darkness they’d spring on his shivering bones, shredding skin, muscle and fat like a whirlwind of knives, seizing his sputtering heart in its bloody tracks. “You have nothing to fear, only to conquer,” Roscoe whispered, lied, as his fingers twitched. Even as his hard pulse thumped at the back of his skull. Across the void of that frigid night, those deathly howls continued to grow, the thin crisp air trembling with their message. Everything was now different. After all these years removed from danger, all those hunts and countless days and nights in the wind-blown fields and heavy woods beneath the starry folds… After a seeming lifetime as a trapper… Tonight, Roscoe Coats was finally a chaser. “Keep your head clear,” said Culgur, his dark eyes reflecting the small fire nearby. The stoic hunter took a moment to examine his blade and crossguard, a broadsword sharper than the fang of a dragon. At his belt, an array of daggers glinted with the graying moon. His body, unguarded. A figure of rippling muscles and ghastly scars. No armor or shield in sight. As the veteran chaser had said on many occasions: the name of the game is speed Roscoe swallowed, nodding in thought, as he eyed his reflection in the steel of his own sword. Bronze, boyish curls. Eyes like smooth jade. A gentle, angular face belying the stress of his twenty-some years. Softly he pressed two fingers to his skin, so flushed by that bitter cold, then stopped. It was one thing to hear the cries of a coyote or dire wolf, but here in the Grey Willows, it was the fenris that reigned supreme.

WOW
To begin I did receive an ARC in PDF and liked the book so much i bought it. I'm leaving the review voluntarily.

This is an awesome book. It's a captivating world filled with vivid detail. I read it from front to back. I can't wait for the next one to come out. The characters are well developed and it's a clean book. There's no language, nothing dirty, just a great fantasy adventure.

Excellent High Fantasy
I received an Advanced Reader Copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review so the opinion is strictly my own after reading this amazing book.

Roscoe is involved in a team of hunters who have encountered creatures the like of which they had never seen before. They were undead and being controlled to destroy, but controlled by who was the question. As the story progresses Roscoe finds that apparently he has hidden powers but is unsure of what they are or how he came by them. He meets a beautiful young magite along the way, Aviana, who has her own secrets.

The adventure they go through is a fight against time and an evil that threatens all of life as they know it and it must be stopped at all costs. As Roscoe becomes more aware of who he is and of the powers he holds the more he knows he must seek more powerful help.

This book is full of twists and turns and huge surprises. It's a book of discovery, family, love and hate. The characters are well created and I grew to love each one. And of course, the book ended with something still lurking out there, evil and menacing. Roscoe and friends still have work to do and I definitely want to continue with this story. I can definitely recommend this book and look forward to more from this author as he is a new author to me.

Great story
