Scarred by a brutal past, she has sworn to help those in need.

As one of the Hundred, Yvonne cannot ignore a plea for help, even if all she wants is a quiet life, somewhere safe for her adopted children to grow into adulthood.

Safety is in short supply. Young people, some of them children, are going missing in large numbers, leaving bewildered and grieving families behind. It’s not something she can ignore.

She finds an unexpected ally in an arrogant goblin lord, who seems intent on following her from place to place. With her skills in magic, and his resources, can they track down the kidnappers and return the children home?

The Gathering is the first book of Yvonne's story. If you like your fantasy with plenty of mystery and magic, and a strong heroine, you’ll love this series by Vanessa Nelson.

Vanessa Nelson is a fantasy author who lives in Scotland, United Kingdom and spends her days juggling the demands of two spoiled cats, two giant dogs and her fictional characters.

As far as the cats are concerned, they should always come first. The older dog lets her know when he isn’t getting enough attention by chewing up the house. The younger dog’s favourite method of getting her attention is a gentle nudge with his head. At least, he would say it’s gentle.

I love it when I find an author that gives me a sense of excitement and anticipation that Vanessa brings. The Hundred is everything a reader could hope for. Amazing character development and a fast paced story plus a sweet love story are the treats that await. DON'T MISS THIS ONE! I fully intend to devour every delicious word she writes! (do I sound excited?)

A Hunar, one of The Hundred, a sorceress required to help those in need, Yvonne hasn’t had the easiest of lives.
Keeping her adopted children safe, while following her oaths, she has to help those in need who ask for her help.
Their new home starts out peaceful, but it’s not long before Yvonne discovers children are missing, and a request to find them has her teaming up with a Goblin Lord, and facing dangers they never expected.

After being intrigued by the author’s new (and as of this writing, as yet unfinished) series, I was prompted by another comment to read her already finished series. That lead me to binge my way through the Ageless Mysteries, and then the Taellaneth Series, and now this one. The author is gifted at crafting worlds with a minimum of information, allowing the imagination to take hold, while at the same time allowing the reader to understand, and enjoy the world.

As with her other series, this one begins with a strong, mysterious, female lead. Yvonne is a survivour. Her past is brutal, but she rescued her wards when she herself was saved, and now she travels her world as a kind of Paladin; a knight-sorceress oath-bound to help those in need.
We learn about her past, little by little as the book progresses, and we begin to meet some of those who have been important to her.
Her children, the goblin Lord Guise, the other Hunar…
We also learn a little about what drives them all, and how injustice is the one thing that fires her up.

Ultimately, this is the first book in a series, and serves primarily as an introduction to the characters and the world. There is a mystery, solved by the end of the book, but also the basis for the subsequent books in the series.
While I did enjoy this book, it wasn’t quite as gripping to me as the Taellaneth and Ageless mysteries were. That being said, it’s still a good read, and an intriguing start to a series, and I will definitely read the rest of it.
Due to some of the situations within, I classify this one as a very intense tale that sensitive readers might like to be wary of. The topics are handled with care, and with minimal description, so consider yourself warned.

An entertaining fantasy tale for fans of modern fantasy.

And Yvonne lives the code deeply.

She and her two children, wulfkind, and hers deeply.

She bears the scars of her own call for help and makes the world a little better, one call at a time.

Children and youth are missing and no one really knows to where they go. Or for what.

But with the dubious help of Guise, she will aid those in need.

Well written and well paced. Another great start to a closed ended series.

Vanessa Nelson is an adept writer. This series is full of love and pain with some bloodshed along the way. Her protagonists are always flawed but filled with purpose. I enjoyed this book and am going on to the next in the series. You should check out her other series.

I have just finished the whole series and come back to write a review about the first book in case it makes somebody else decide to choose it. I was introduced to Vanessa Nelson through the Graygate series and she’s quickly becoming one of my favourite writers. The series is no different, she’s a masterful storyteller and has a knack at drawing complex, multi characters with a rich inner-world. You understand the vulnerability and the motivations. The world building is always perfect. A real story teller. I loved Yvonne you could describe her as a real antihero, the humblest yet strongest character I have read in some time. It was one of those series that kept getting better as I got to know the characters better. After book 1 I enjoyed the writing but wasn’t sure if I would love it, but then by book 2 I was hooked. Love that!
