AGE OF MAGIC by Tim Vee
GENRE: dark fantasy
REVIEW
I have been reading Tim Vee’s novels for some time now. His novels are fresh and original. I never know what to expect and have always been surprised. Age Of Magic is a dark fantasy that travels through time. I quickly became enamored with Zola and Selene and their story.
The action and adventure kept me engrossed in Tim Vee’s magical story. The writing kept the pacing and suspense operating at a high level. He brought the characters to life and their world was created in vivid detail. I loved all the secrets, magic, pirates and deadly beasts. He created many questions, as we traveled through time to reach the end. I had a feeling about the conclusion and I loved it.
My thanks go out to Tim Vee for the opportunity to read another one of his fantastic stories.
BLURB
A young peasant woman’s mundane existence is upended by a mysterious traveller, thrusting her into a perilous world of secret family ties, dark magic, deadly beasts, intrigue, pirates, and thrilling adventure—where light and dark forces clash in a battle for power and revenge.
Age of Magic is a dark fantasy story with a timeless fairytale vibe, set in a grounded but magical world.
EXCERPT
There was movement in the shadows—the sound of a sandal on the dry red bricks. Zola froze, seeing ahead of him a weasely-looking man holding a butcher’s blade stepping into a pool of light. Selene gasped, covering her mouth. Zola’s head snapped to his right, where he saw another man step into a pool of light behind them, holding a rusty meat cleaver.
“Becalm yourself, m’lady,” whispered Zola, releasing her hand and stepping from the shadows into the light.
“Mayhaps I can help you lads with something?” he said confidently, as he turned in a circle and regarded them.
Two more men stepped from the shadows, a new one on either side carrying a wooden club.
“Coin!” hissed the man holding the knife that he jabbed forward menacingly.
“Coin and girl!” said the man with the cleaver. The others laughed darkly and inched forward.
Zola turned to the man with the cleaver. “Mayhaps I would have tossed you a pouch of coppers and silver, to send you scurrying away to your filthy taverns and your filthy wenches, without the need for blood to be spilt.” He pulled back his coat, exposing the bejewelled hilt of his cutlass. “But alas, for you, the girl will be staying with me!”
“Four us, one you!” said the man with the cleaver, chuckling.
“I’ll gladly take those odds…” said Zola grimly, his gold tooth glinting in the moonlight as he drew his bejewelled cutlass.
