A Chronicle of Endylmyr: The Witches of Endylmyr

“A Chronicle of Endylmyr: The Witches of Endylmyr” tells the story of The Eastern Khan who sets out to possess all known magical relics so that he may control the entire world. He already has obtained some of these artifacts, but knows that he must possess them all for the magic to work completely. So, he sends his most powerful legions to various communities, including Endylmyr to find them – killing anyone or anything that gets in their way.  Those under attack soon form an alliance as they begin to realize that they do, in fact, have some of the artifacts that possess magic.  Former mercenary Gylfalin, along with his cousin Pendaran – who has a magical falcon for a companion, form the allies of various parts of the world to battle against Khan.  They know that hope for victory lies with magic that no one really knows how to use. As Khan’s legions move closer in on them, Angmere, a wizard historian, finds a clue in an ancient tome that foretells the tale of three witches that could be the key to their victory and defeat of Khan. One of the scholar’s daughters, Gwynyr, unites with two other women in their group, Hellwydd and Hilst, to form the trio described by Angmere’s scribe as the Endylmyr witches, in a last attempt to save their people.

“A Chronicle of Endylmyr: The Witches of Endylmyr” is a very interesting story and has a great premise.  I felt the book was a bit long and it started to lose my interest in places – mostly because the book starts out strong and then in the middle it is a bit drawn out, but then it picks up towards the end.  For those who enjoy fantasy novels, this one will be a good.  The characters are well formed and there is plenty of action.  The magical aspect of the storyline is intriguing and not over the top.  Before you know it, you will feel transformed to Endylmyr and a part of the story.
