How far would you run?

On a simple farm far outside of town lived a man with his family and with his secrets. Violent secrets. When a rising tide of war approaches, those secrets see the light of day, and no one around him is safe.

He will take his wife and twin sons from their homestead and flee to escape the violence of his past and his future. But following him is something far worse than his secrets. In the dark, he will come face-to-face with the Black Whisper - a creature of evil magic with the power to steal the essence of life.

If you like Terry Goodkind or Robert Jordan, you'll love The Black Whisper. It's the digestible opening salvo in a new fantasy war epic.

Bite sized portions of epic fantasy
This book is only 11 chapters long and it's so well written. Wow! I did not think I would enjoy a novella sized book as well as I did with this one. So its supposed to be a serial where the author releases a book every month until its complete.This should be good! I hope to read the 2nd book when it comes out. Following this author for more books!If you love epic fantasy, magic, sword and sorcery, adventure and monsters of epic proportions and calamity that could destroy the world and life as you know it, I recommend this book. Its small, DIGESTIBLE read. Only 11 written, fast paced chapters. I love it! Totally recommend!

Great first volume in a new fantasy series in the tradition of Terry Goodkind’s early books. A warrior comes out of retirement to battle a particularly nasty monster with the help of wife and his twin sons.

This enjoyable novel features an ex-soldier retired from fighting and his family as they are forced to run from an evil general and his army. Book is well written with strong characters and a wonderfully nasty villain. This short novel is gory but has no vulgar language. Book 2 should be out in Feb. A fun quick read.

I'm not the biggest fan of fantasy novels. However, I do like to live vicariously through interesting characters every now and then. And I think this is a great lunchtime or end of the day read.

This book is a collection of chapters to make each book short. It was an okay read and had errors throughout. The overall plot and characters developed well and was interesting enough.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fast-paced Fantasy!
Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2021
I enjoyed this book as it was quite engaging. The author's language and constant ability to "show" the reader is what was most attractive to me. I can appreciate the difficulty in world building and creating a fantasy setting that is believable in its unbelievability, but this author was successful! If you enjoy Game of Thrones, or The Way of Kings, check this out!

4.0 out of 5 stars This one draws you in!
Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2021
This was a really good beginning to a fantasy series. The pacing was great, and there were enough fast paced events to catch a reader's attention before a reader could lose interest. The detailing leaves a clear impression in the mind, giving the kind of escape a fantasy reader looks for. The family interactions, and reactions were also really good. I would even say that the writing errors could be counted on one hand. The only reason I give this 4 stars is because this talent is too good to be playing it safe with the fantasy cliches, and I will be reading book 2 with the expectation that the author begins to separate from the beaten path (no story pun intended) and really take the gloves off for it.

5.0 out of 5 stars This series is off to a great start!
Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2021
I really enjoy reading fantasy, and this book did not disappoint (except perhaps that it is shorter than the books in this genre I'm used to reading). The author does a good job pulling the reader into the story right from the beginning. His protagonists are likable and real, and the villains frightening. I'm looking forward to the next in the series!
