You can tell that the inspiration for this series comes heavily from the crusades, but I also see influences from the Wheel of Time even though I have no confirmation of this.
For a break down of the magic system, please refer to my review of Mage’s Blood. Worldbuilding is some of the best you can come across in a fantasy series with religion, ethnicities, and traditions all thrown into the mixing bowl with extra spices! It is beyond me why this series is still a relative unknown in the fantasy genre.
Characters are easy to route for and they are complex creatures with more than meets the eye. Magic systems is at the forefront in this world and it keeps getting better with each book.
Everything is included in this series regardless of the type of fantasy reader you are. Hair was raised in New Zealand, and after briefly settling down. Mage’s Blood is his first work of adult fantasy and the first in his brand-new Moontide Quartet. Every thread and building block will be explored, expanded, and in some chases destroyed by the revelations David Hair gets to divulge. David Hair is the award-winning writer of two YA fiction series, the Aotearoa (set in New Zealand) and The Return of Ravana (based on the Vedic epic The Ramayana). The plot is pushed along beautifully in Unholy War and I couldn’t have asked for a better entry to this amazing series. It is up to these characters to discover the truth behind the Scytale and how histories are not always what they appear to be. David Hair is a writer from New Zealand who has written four fantasy series: Aotearoa, The Return of Ravana, The Moontide Quartet (all for young adult readers, except The Moontide Quartet) and his latest, which incorporates adult themes, The Sunsurge Quartet. Before Antonin dies, he discloses to Ramita the importance of her twin children, still unborn, and that they will save the world. We learn that Ramita was chosen by Antonin Meiros to be his bride specifically because her family has the trait of birthing twins. Alan Mercer and Ramita Ankesharan have escaped the tower via boat with the Scytale of Corineus in tow. It features a wide, diverse cast of characters spread out over dual continents.
Queen Cera, fresh off of her betrayal of Eleni, looks to take down her husband the usurper king and to restore power to her brother. The Moontide Quartet is perhaps the most understated fantasy series currently being written. Kazim having taken the life of Ramita’s husband, Antonius Merios, looks to right the wrongs of his past by fighting for a righteous cause, even if he has to turn his back on his own people. Mage's Blood: The Moontide Quartet Book 1 Hair, David on.

This will be a spoiler free review but I will be touching upon events from the first two books.Įleni Anborn, having escaped being imprisoned in her own body, has joined forces with the souldrinker Kazim to take down the renegade spymaster Gurvon Gyle. What you think you know so far will be pushed to the limit and the fate of the crusade will hang in the balance. All the while, the Scytale of Corineus has fallen into the hands of the two most unlikely people as they escape destruction and loss. The third crusade has reached its breaking point with the warriors from Antiopia unveiling their magic users against the invasion. We have reached the penultimate book in the Moontide Quartet and it is a complete gamechanger.
