They are feared, hated, hunted down, and destroyed....

....and yet they are mankind's last hope.

For a thousand years magic has been banished throughout the Five Kingdoms, and those caught wielding it are rounded up and taken to the White Tower. They are never heard from again.

Ty knows he's different. But when the bounty hunters arrive in the quiet city of Easthaven, his family reveals the shocking truth about his magical bloodline. And when an Ahvari witch hires a tribe of Northmen to capture him, Ty finds himself in the middle of a war he didn't know existed....

Armed with nothing but his will to survive, Ferrin attempts what no prisoner has ever accomplished and vows to escape the White Tower. His only hope is Rae, a gifted healer tasked with keeping the prisoners alive during the inquisitors' brutal interrogations. Will she be willing to risk her own life for that same chance of freedom....

Ayrion outworked his fellow soldiers for years to become captain of the guard. But his strength and valor alone won't be enough to stop the bloodthirsty creatures coming for his king. And when a sweeping number of the city's outcasts begin to mysteriously disappear, he realizes that the threat is closer than he knew....

War is coming, the likes of which hasn't been seen since the time of the Khul Hordes. How will humanity fight back when those with the ability to do so are being exterminated?

Sword and Sorcery that’s pretty low on swords.

The story didn’t really get going until the last few chapters. Very long set up with lots of minor characters. It took a long time to figure the world out and how it was organized. The story was fairly predictable and filled with fantasy tropes. The narrator does a fairly good job. Overall, if you like a slow moving story like Robert Jordan or Terry Goodkind you may like it. I’m not saying it was bad, just kind of boring. I found myself half listening in parts. I will listen to the next one to see if it gets better. I’m interested enough in some of the characters to not give up yet.

love it

I hadn't written any reviews when i started this series. I have now finished all of Michael Wisehart's books and am frustrated that I have caught up to him.

Please write faster but don't compromise your details.

The narrator is also fantastic. I checked back on some of my other books and saw his name on other favorites. Since I can't continue in this world until more is written, I am now going to search for books narrated by Tim Reynolds... ha... love his dark and sultry voice of a character introduced in later books... no spoilers!

Best book I've listened to since Blood Song.

The White Tower left me wanting more. The story is well written and thoroughly engrossing.

Masterful battle scenes & witty internal dialogue.

The White Tower is written with an infectious enthusiasm for battle scenes that will have you gripped with anxiety and praying for things to work out. Many characters have a clever sense of humour that keeps the world fun (and helps to refresh the reader between bouts of pure evil)!

Don't start this book without first listening to the novella "Shackled - The Aldoran Chronicles Prequel". Trust me, it's 2+ hours of backstory that you'll want and enjoy. Be prepared to hate people (but you'll like that, too).

Tim's narration of this series could not be better and adds so much to the experience.
