Life for Hyam is bittersweet. Admired by the
citizens of Falmouth for his heroic rescue mission, he cherishes these peaceful
days with Joelle by his side. Yet grief over the loss of his magical skills
during the great Battle of Emporis threatens to engulf him. Sometimes he even
wishes he had never known magic at all.
When Hyam comes into possession of an ancient Milantian scroll, he is thrilled to feel the surge of power that courses through him whenever he touches it. But what he discerns in the text could mean war. He embarks upon another journey to determine its true meaning and forestall any attack. But as Hyam is seeking answers, he is unaware that the merchant of Alyss is seeking him…

This
second Legends of the Realm novel offers an epic story equally as satisfying as
Emissary. Thomas Locke once again immerses his readers into Hyam’s
fantastical world with plenty of magic, action, and good-versus-evil adventure,
and I loved revisiting it and its cast of diverse and memorable characters. The
story is fascinating and intriguing, as Hyam begins another quest, and left me
eager and hopeful for another one. Fans of fantasy and adventure will not be disappointed
with Merchant of Alyss, and I highly recommend it.
Thanks to Revell Reads, I received a copy of Merchant
of Alyss and the opportunity to provide an honest review. I was not
required to write a positive review, and all the opinions I have expressed are
my own.
