The Mountain of Souls (An Epic Dark Fantasy Adventure) (The Chosen)

By Marcus Lee

Book Overview

Can a weapon forged out of darkness ever truly represent the light? As the Delnorian Empire is consumed by the flames of war, a mysterious sect harbours an unbelievable secret: an ancient prophecy foretelling the return of The Once and Future King, a legendary figure who will usher in humankind's golden age, ending inequality and conflict. Amidst the chaos, Malina, a young woman, is unwittingly thrust into the heart of destiny when she's sold at auction to a shadowy figure. Her destination is not the expected army or brothel but the Mountain of Souls - a mystical, foreboding place where her future becomes irrevocably entwined with the prophecy. For if she can survive the ruthless training process that awaits, she'll attain powers beyond that of mere mortals and become one of The Chosen, a fearsome group assigned to overcome the malevolent forces standing in the way of the king's ascension. Failure means certain death, and even success will come at a terrible cost: a conscience stained by blood, deceit, betrayal and the sacrifice of her very soul. But is it a price she's willing to pay? ----- Will Malina and her fellow Chosen succeed in their mission and deliver the prophecy? The shocking and unexpected answers lie within the heart-pounding pages of this extraordinary adventure!

A compelling read that kept me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. It has all the ingredients of an exceptional fantasy, engaging and believable characters, excellent pacing, an abundance of twists, and all wrapped up in a dark, consequence-laden world. The pace never stops for one second! The characters are so incredible, a mix of good and bad, but so well written and believable, and built up slowly from the first book, leading you through the story with such skill. The hopelessness at times is painful, but the ending and last few chapters are mind-blowing. Marcus helps you picture everyone perfectly, and the story is so addictive across all three books. These are the best fantasy books I have ever read, well done Marcus, I would recommend these books wholeheartedly to anyone. FANTASTIC FANTASY indeed! The world-building from Marcus Lee has you seeing everything in your mind's eye. The characters become friends and enemies, one minute you're in tears from despair and then tears of absolute joy. I have read some really good books over the years but Marcus Lee takes it to the next level, please do yourself a favor and read this trilogy I promise you will not be disappointed. This is a book that takes off like a runaway train and does not slow down. The tension and the momentum carry you through the whole 350 pages of tightly-plotted story.
