Kyritia is a domain where elves, dwarves, and humans co-exist. When their peaceful way
of life is threatened by the evil wizard Elidor, Arden, their Grandmaster sends his last
living son, Tehan in search of this evil to destroy it before their world is plunged into
eternal darkness.
Tehan, doing a series of tests to attain his ranking,
believes this to be just another part of the test, the final part. Arden knows there is
something important that Tehan must be told before beginning this journey but his memory
has been wiped clean by sorcery, rendering him unable to give his son the life-saving
information he needs to ensure his victory.
For the Rank of Master
is the story of Tehan’s journey into darkness, accompanied by a band of warriors, each
with their own secrets. Deceit and betrayal follow this group on their quest making them
at once enemies and friends…all with one common goal.
Hollie Snider has
written a very dark fantasy. There is enough gore and blood letting to satisfy the
appetite of those devotees of the genre.
I found this book a challenge
to read and can only recommend it to those who are truly fans of this type of
fantasy.
