The story revolves around Grey, a reclusive introvert who prefers the company of his video games. His world changes forever, when one day he decides to go for a walk in the woods and is abducted and taken to magical realm of Eader, a realm that shields the Earth. He discovers that not only he has magical powers but that the world of Eader is in peril from the growing darkness. Now grey needs to discover his true self and his new powers. Can grey defend Eader against darkness?
The story is about the eternal conflict between good & evil; between light and darkness but told in a totally refreshing manner. The darkness is a symbol of rising religious extremism, terrorism and political apathy which is engulfing our world. The light of hope and resilience is the only thing fighting the darkness. The world building is exceptional as the author creates a whole new world full of magic and mysticism. The story is full of twists and turns as Grey finds himself facing increasingly difficult challenges.
The characters are well crafted including Grey,Lay, Cox, Callan, Darby, Lizzie.I liked the interaction between Grey and Callan; Grey's mentor on Eader. I also loved Grey's bonding with Darby which was charming. Readers will be able to relate to Grey as he faces new challenges in a totally new realm with warriors and shadows. We experience Grey's characters evolving over the course of the book as he goes through a self-discovery of his hidden powers. The writing is fast paced and the story keeps you surprising with new twists making it a great read.
Overall, Flames of Eader is an excellent fantasy adventure that the fans of the fantasy genre will enjoy reading. With a strong plot, excellent writing and some memorable characters and world building, this book is an exciting read.
