    About this audiobook

    When Hyam finds ancient Mylantian scrolls, he begins a journey to uncover their meaning. Will what he discovers mean war? Life for Hyam is bittersweet. Admired by the citizens of Falmouth for his heroic rescue mission, he cherishes these peaceful days with Joelle by his side. Yet grief over the loss of his magical skills during the great Battle of Emporis threatens to engulf him. Sometimes he even wishes he had never known magic at all. When Hyam comes into possession of an ancient Milantian scroll, he is thrilled to feel the surge of power that courses through him whenever he touches it. But what he discerns in the text could mean war. He embarks upon another journey to determine its true meaning and forestall any attack. But as Hyam is seeking answers, he is unaware that the merchant of Alyss is seeking him . .

      I liked how the author introduced the characters so that anyone reading the story regardless if they were familiar with his work or not would know who they were. The author did a great job of drawing you into the world of the characters. The story starts out with our Hero Hyam trying to accept the loss of his magic, but accepting the praise of his heroics that caused the loss of the magic. He soon comes into possession of a scroll that will give him some powers, but it also gives him insight that he does not know what do do with. This book takes us on his journey to understand what it means and a chance to be a hero again. I received a copy of the book free from the publisher to review.

      I received a free copy of Merchant of Alyss from GoodReads.This is the second book in the Legends of the Realm series by Thomas Locke (aka Davis Bunn) and I enjoyed it so much I've already ordered the first book from Amazon. Merchant of Alyss is such a wonderful book that it has me reevaluating other fantasy novels I've read over the years. My only criticism is that sometimes events in the book move so fast that there's an outline feeling to the action--but believe me, this isn't a problem it's just me wishing there was more pages in the book. I never wanted it to end. The characters are well drawn and the drama intense. This is an incredible book.
