The Call

by Jason Bishop, Rose Bishop

Overview

An abduction in the Yeoman's Wood leads Dia into a terrifying walled city to rescue her sister. A missing father leads half-elf cousins to the same city. As they seek to unite their families, a streetwise rogue leaves his own, vowing never to return. A game of chance draws the four together, when the rogue ends up with a priceless heirloom. Thinking he's found his ticket to a new life; he has unwittingly pocketed an artifact of untold power.

Drawn together by seeming coincidence, the four soon realize they are called to roles in a game much bigger than themselves; a saga that has gone on for centuries. A contest of Knights and Kings has begun against an ancient monarch seeking immortality, and his dark magicians working to elevate their unholy mistress to godhood. With their only ally a mysterious man, for whom death brings no rest, the four must prevent Urgrithka the Hollow from usurping a throne of the gods, or Cyrradon will know an eternity of undeath.

The Call is the first book of the Storm's Rising series, beginning the epic tale of a world created in the image of beauty and balance, and rent asunder by the divisions among gods and mortals.

Fun read. Leaves you wanting more. - If you are drawn to books with lots of action and snappy dialogue this one is for you. The characters are well presented and move the story along. There is a moral element that underlies the actions of the characters that gives the reader an understanding of the complexities of their natures. The conflicts between the protagonists and evil doers are dramatic and also well presented. I highly recommend this book.
