Book 1 of 5: Guardian's Prophecy

See all formats and editions

A blind priest. A sacred tome that can't be seen. Can a young ranger protect one long enough to save the other?

Tormjere’s peaceful foray into the outside world collides with the harsh reality of a kingdom on the brink of war. To save the life of a friend, he pledges himself to the service of an unexpected savior: a blind priest destined to read a book that cannot be seen.

Yet unknown forces seek to prevent this holy reunion, and Tormjere’s impossible task grows even more difficult when the tome goes missing. Aided by a mysterious conclave of wizards, their hunt for the sacred relic will lead them deep into a shadowy and hostile wilderness where Tormjere is forced to call upon abilities he never knew he possessed. The difference between friend and foe grows as thin as the edge of his sword, and the monsters they bring with them may be worse than those who stand in their way.

Success could restore the fabled glories of a forgotten age, but only if he is willing to pay the price…

Eyes of the Blind is the first book in the Guardian’s Prophecy series, an action-filled tale set in a compellingly vibrant, richly detailed fantasy world full of magic and mystery that will be loved by fans of Terry Brooks’ Shannara series, Raymond Feist’s Riftwar saga, and R.A. Salvatore’s Legend of Drizzt.

What a great new series

Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2020

In the sea of mediocracy and outright bad writing that is available in the Kindle unlimited universe, this author truly stands out. As a lifelong fan of the genre, it has become slim pickings to find a series worth reading. Unlike most, this novel drew me in almost immediately, and I found myself reading it almost nonstop. With the exception of the unnaturally rapid martial prowess of the main character with no formal training, I have no other criticism of the story. The characters feel real, the dialogue excellent, the pace and plotting of the story are top notch. This may be the best series I’ve read all year (already finished the second book) and I cannot recommend this enough. Well done!

Enjoyable read

Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2020

I thoroughly enjoyed this story, the people involved were interesting and the plot was engaging. My only problem is with how fast our main character developed. Woodsman I can understand, and plenty of time passed for him to learn how to fight, but no one taught him any fighting skills besides a drunken conversation with a dwarf, and yet he is almost immediately an accomplished fighter. The first ambush could be acclaimed as a few ruffians who didn’t know what they were doing were taken care of, but every battle after that he is an expert swordsman.

He is even trained in a touch of magic that he learns slowly and with difficulty, but with a sword he is a natural master. There should have been lessons, or practice or something. His father could have taught him how to use a dagger or a short sword, he could have been trained with the guard for a month every summer like all the boys his age etcetera etcetera, something to explain his skill, but we are given nothing.

A classic tale

Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2021

I've been a reader of fantasy for years, and rarely in recent time have I found a book that so successfully emulates the stories I grew up with. I enjoyed how each character had both backstory and growth, how each place and organization had it's own history. Even so, it wasn't too heavy with prose or description, to weary the eyes and mind. I'm ordering the second title tonight!

Thank-you for a great story!

I am not familiar with this author but I will definitely be looking for more of his works. The story is captivating from beginning to end and I cannot find anything negative to say about this book. Great protagonist, very well paced story and nicely edited. I am personally very happy to find a great book that does not pander to current trends of harem building, litperg, or what I would refer to as narrative comic book style. I do hope that this is but the first book of a series following the continuing growth of the main character.

Short but very enjoyable. Reminded me of Salvatore but more subtle with the Tolkienesque world. Ill dig into the next installment immediately.

Super Fun Read for all Fantasy Enthusiasts!

Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2018

Verified Purchase

I loved this book. It was incredibly engaging and a really fun read, while also being a quick and easy one (partially because I had a hard time putting it down). The characters are great - all satisfyingly lovable or hateable, though there's more to most of them than first meets the eye. I loved exploring this world through the eyes of the main character, Tormjere, and I can't wait for the second book. So many possibilities to explore further, and several intriguing mysteries left unanswered in book one.

Great read

Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2020

Excellent work and a true representation of the art of writing. The foreshadowing and revelations blend into the story exceptionally well. The story keeps the pages turning, burning deep into the midnight oil. If you want a satisfying end to the first mystery, you’ll find the invitation to the next steps in the conclusion. Read this one.

Slight misdirection

Very good read. With quite a number of unexpected surprises. A fast paced and interesting story. Starting as religious but turning into a story of logic and knowledge
