I received a free copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review. All opinions are my own.
Civil War erupts, and heroes must rise to face the coming darkness in author Alpha Four’s “Far Forest Scrolls Rise Above the Storm.”
The Synopsis
The world tips into a barbarous conflict that threatens to drown the world in agony and bloodshed. The Chosen One is designated, but before the first quest is revealed the fragile League is already on shaky ground.
The Review
This was an incredibly engaging and narrative-driven read. Getting to explore the foundations of a Civil War in real time through this fantasy. Lens was powerful to read, and it highlighted how dark forces could manipulate very fractured political alliances. It is often said that we are our own worst enemies, and this novel embraced that idea as it began, forcing the heroes of this journey to rely on one another even more so.
The magic in world-building is top-notch as always in the series, and the action seems to pick up in pace as alliances crumble and war becomes inevitable. Yet it is the emotional depth of the characters themselves and their individual arcs that make this such a powerful story. As one character finally takes steps toward becoming their own hero and playing into a powerful prophecy, the entire cast has its own standout moments, even the squires who had to choose whom to be loyal to as these looming battles hung over their heads.
The Verdict
Enthralling, thrilling, and powerfully written, Author Alpha Four’s “Rise Above the Storm” is an epic fantasy and a magic-driven action and adventure story. A story of twists and turns, the rise of heroes, and fantastic characters for both the knights, Squires, and the dwarves, who all banded together, with their dragons, to take on powerful threats as their kingdom fractured, and all alliances face an ever-consuming war. If you haven’t yet, be sure to grab your copy of this amazing novel today!

About the Author
Alpha Four, or A4, is an enigmatic figure from the turn of the first millennium of the Common Era (C.E.). Although the formality of his education is uncertain, we know he studied military history, martial skills, languages, history, philosophy, mathematics, religion, and wrote extensively. Evidence suggests he was a ranking courtier and military advisor in the turbulent environment that was England one thousand years ago. He likely served in Æthelred II’s court (and possibly Sweyn I, the Danish sovereign who briefly sat on the English throne in 1013 C.E.).
