"""I was consistently surprised and pleased by the twists and revelations that this short entry into the series continued to deliver and the climax/conclusion certainly ranks among the most memorable moments of the entire series."" -Amazon reader Brian Walton ""A deep and meaningful tale impossible to put down."" -Amazon reader Andrey Evdokimov ""There's a richness and a beauty to the world Nicholas Kotar has created."" -Amazon reader Steven Christoforou ""Book 4 of the Raven Son series is a critical turning point - the start of the ascent and the first light of dawn. In it Nicholas Kotar risks an extremely complex structure and makes it look easy. The result is a layered exploration of a world that continues to grow and deepen in the telling. The best epic fantasy always seems to rest on fully developed histories. That's true here as well. But what makes this book so unique is that we get to encounter that history directly. In it the seeds of redemption have taken root and begin to emerge through heroic self-sacrifice. The end of Book 3, The Heart of the World, was so destabilizing (in a good way) that I wasn't sure where Kotar would take us next in a world where we didnt know which way was up anymore. That the answer would be, ""further in"" is exactly what I should have expected from a budding master storyteller. I can't recommend this book and the Raven Son series highly enough. Please check it out and tell your friends."" Andrew Wilson ""I suppose it would be unfair to complain too much when your sole criticism of a book is that it is too short; and even that is not technically true! The Forge of the Covenant focuses almost exclusively on one crucial event in the Raven Son series, the fate of the inhabitants of Ghavan Isle, and it tells that story perfectly - I just wanted Book 5 to magically appear after I turned the last page! I was consistently surprised and pleased by the twists and revelations that this short entry into the series continued to deliver and the climax/conclusion certainly ranks among the most memorable moments of the entire series. It's truly a joy to be able to journey along with the young Mr. Kotar as he continues to grow as a writer and see this humble series becoming a truly epic and beautiful work of art. I cannot wait for Book 5 and I hope that these books will reach as wide an audience as possible to inspire future aspiring writers to explore and be inspired by Goodness and Beauty and Light - God knows we could use more of that."" - Brian Walton ""If you want to get lost in a book, be challenged in your imagination, and captivated, these are the books to read. You will be inside the storyteller's land watching kingdoms, trials, good, and evil unfold before your mind's eye."" - Amazon Customer"
