About this series
Seeing the future may be something a Talent like Jathen was born to do, but even Jathen’s most powerful teacher can only help so much in understanding what to do with those visions. Suddenly, the all-too-familiar rumbling beneath his feet begins, and disaster strikes.
Has Jathen gained enough control to weather this storm of conflicting prophecies, evil schemes, and sundering earth? Can he piece together the real motivations behind this new attack, or will the truth, like him, get buried beneath a literal avalanche of ice and snow?

- Way Walkers: Tangled Paths
1
Hatched from an egg but unable to shift into dragon form, Jathen is a Moot among the Tazu. His rightful throne is forbidden him because of his transformative handicap, and neither his culture nor his religion offer acceptance of his perceived flaws. Driven by wounded anger, Jathen strikes out across the vast world beyond Tazu borders, desperate to find a place where he feels accepted and whole. Though he travels with the most trusted of companions, sabotage and conspiracy soon strike his quest. Jathen and his allies must struggle against man and magic alike, at the mercy of forces beyond their ken. As Jathen presses on, his questions of belonging are surrounded by more of identity, loyalty, and betrayal. Where will the path of his destiny lead, and will he follow or fall?
- Way Walkers: Broken City
2
Wounded and alone, Jathen desperately tries to make his way back home to the Tazu Nation. His path is treacherous, as he is pursued by the traitorous Mikkal and the mysterious Sister. However, a Grand Artifact has chosen him as its guardian, and it may have other plans for the wayward moot. Torn once more from everything he's known, Jathen must not only find answers from the Artifact's past but also learn to use his newfound Abilities to save the populace of a city lost to time.
- Way Walkers: Tainted Talent
3
After a spell that went awry and the unexpected rescue of the notorious A'ron De'contes, Jathen finally has the answer to the question that has plagued him since his friends’ deaths: he is a Negater, one of the rarest, most precious of nontraditional Talents. But each new revelation regarding his new powers that breaks upon the shore only leaves him with more questions and newer frustrations. For whoever gets the Negater, gets the prize. Thrust into the limelight of Tar'citadel politics and Way Walker ambitions, for the first time, Jathen has a choice over his own destiny. Then, a new vision of doom warns that his choice has more dire consequences than he could have ever imagined. Will Jathen turn to the Ways to discover how to use his newfound Ability, or will he throw off their yoke? Can he discover the why and who behind the attempt on De'contes life? Every choice he makes could lead to success… or death.

Bit by bit, stone by stone, Jathen is building a foundation on which will stand his mastery of his rare Ability. If he can survive a few lumps from his teacher, that is. As Jathen gains more confidence and skill, things seem to be going his way, except for a still-looming prophecy of doom. Seeing the future may be something a Talent like Jathen was born to do, but even Jathen’s most powerful teacher can only help so much in understanding what to do with those visions. Suddenly, the all-too-familiar rumbling beneath his feet begins, and disaster strikes. Has Jathen gained enough control to weather this storm of conflicting prophecies, evil schemes, and sundering earth? Can he piece together the real motivations behind this new attack, or will the truth, like him, get buried beneath a literal avalanche of ice and snow?

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I am loving the development of the characters so much, and I’ll admit that I much more prefer the reduced emo mopey level in our main dude as he grows.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5My new favorite author and series! Love, love, love, love
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5As I said, in my first book review, this is definitely in my top five all-time sagas! Won’t rename all the books, but this is definitely in there for me. I thoroughly enjoy the adventure and I get very disappointed each time I have to look for the next book. luckily for me, the next book so far has always been available so I can dive straight back into this amazing world!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I love this series! Highly recommended read. I found it very interesting and loved listening. It's so complex and well written with so much detail that goes into all the characters and different races. I love the Way Walker world and can't wait for the author to bring out the 5th novel.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Good premise, however I got lost with all the characters and their similar sounding names that end with “th” for some reason. I gave up.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Unpredictable intelligent writing. I must read the next in the series.
