Resumen del Editor

A dangerous mission. A war of the gods. An epic destiny.

With Rivun and Jit’s help, Eli and Mae helped Karenna free her people from the cruel overlord Edgun. Unfortunately, Mik’Las, the criminal whom they were hunting, has managed to escape in the ensuing chaos. Worse, his trail has gone cold. Hoping to come across a clue that will put them on the right path, they continue the hunt.

Then, unexpectedly, they are visited by a powerful and mysterious elven wizard, one with an unknown agenda. This wizard directs Eli and Mae to investigate a mystery, something potentially more horrifying than anything they’ve ever faced. If unchecked, it has the potential to plunge their world into terrible darkness.

And so, Eli and Mae put aside their chase of Mik’Las. They set out to uncover and confront this horror, whatever it may be. Directed to the village of Arvan’Dale, a place thoroughly and inexplicably abandoned, they encounter a team of imperial rangers investigating a mystery of their own. Not only that, but it soon becomes clear a dreadful evil has been released upon the land, one that terrifies Eli, for he has a personal connection and history to it. Is this what they were sent to uncover?

Complicating matters, war is on the wind. The Castol are on the march, and it appears they intend to invade the empire, which would mean a wider war that would drag Eli’s people into a bloody conflict. Discovered by advance scouts of the Castol, Eli, Mae, and the imperial rangers soon become the hunted. Worse, Eli is recognized by an old and implacable foe who will stop at nothing to run him down and kill him. The stakes are higher than ever and the fate of their world hangs in the balance.

Excellent

Awesome back story for Eli. Fast listen. Love that the narrator is consistent between the books.

Great continuation

Super story and well performed. Insight into Eli past and new foes to go after. If you like Stiger you will enjoy.

I’m Hooked & Loving This Series

I have all of the related books associated with this series. It’s a little like a fun puzzle. I’m learning interesting bits and pieces and how these nuggets fit into the overall arc of 3 ongoing series. These are all most enjoyable. Some information gets repeated to often in the next book sometimes in the same book. However, nothing is perfect including myself. I don’t think you can go wrong with anything Marc Alan Edelheit has written. You don’t have to read everything but it’s better if you read everything I have several times. It’s a can’t wait for the next one for me. Enjoy!

GREAT!!!

Can't wait for the next installment in the series. The back lore on the characters it gives make the stinger series even more personal.

Spectacular

This continuation of A Ranger's Tale was not exactly what I expected, but it was what I needed. The backstory of Eli is great.

As always Marc keeps you in suspense all the way through.

The narration was spot on with the voices for the various characters.

I am looking forward to the next book.

Returned unfinished - toxic relationship

I was hesitant to start this book because I wasn't impressed by the previous book. But I decided to take a chance that the story would improve.

I was wrong, it didn't. it was worse. So much so that I returned a book for the first time.

The first 3 chapters are just Eli and Mae's toxic relationship blooming. After mooning over each other they get into a fist fight when he tries to break up with her. Complete with a bloody nose and what not. The worst part is Eli is turned on by physically hurting Mae, supposedly the woman he loves. And what does the naive girl do after this? Why, marry him of course. Because that's what love is made of???

After that toxic, abusive mess, I just didn't feel like carrying on with the story.
