If you're looking for an awesome adventure on the high seas in a land full of magic and evil then you need to pick these up right now!

Valrin is just a boy when he is torn from his home and thrust into an adventure to save the Glacial Seas. Along the way, he will gather a group of faithful companions consisting of a stout dwarf, a feisty rusis, an honorable ranger, a cannibalistic shadow elf, and a magic user of great power. He will become one of the youngest captains to pilot a magical ship unlike the world has seen in centuries. And he will save the world from a great evil!

The characters are some of the most memorable I've read and their back and forth is classic. The pace of all three books will keep you on your toes, not wanting to put the book down. When you do finish it will just leave you wanting more! Whether you are new to reading JT's books or have read others, this is a series you can pick up and read at any time. And that's exactly what you need to do, stop reading this review and just buy it! You won't regret it, I can promise you that!

I bought this set on a whim because I had finished all the books in my queue. This fast paced series offers a much different fantasy world to enjoy.
The author keeps the story moving quickly, and develops the characters only as much as needed to pack in the amount of action and travel. While there are some plot twists, much of the story is somewhat predictable. If you are looking for a complex and well developed cast of characters and well described world, this series may not be for you; however, if you are looking for a series which pulls you in to new fantasy world, and has pirates, dwarves, elves, and is set on the high seas with tons of action and adventure, then this series is definitely for you. I finished this series in a weekend, and can't wait to read more of J.T. Williams works.

5.0 out of 5 stars An amazing fantasy series.

In this fantasy series you'll meet Valrin the Stormborn. This young man is brave, motivated, inspiring, and really spirited. Valrin lives with his Aunt Tua. She took him in one night of a storm, he just blew into the tide waters of the island. He gets up super early every morning to catch eels so he can sell them. This orphan has personality and heart. The whole series is based around the Stormborn idea. To be a Stormborn you must have been born during a storm at night. I'm not saying a little rain either, I mean like a hurricane like storm. Usually, Stormborns are orphaned also. The Gods have blessed the Stormborns as the protectors of the realms ( they also have an amulet and a cool gift too). Valrin has an exciting day one morning that changes the course of his life, literally. He sees dwarves arrive in the port. He then meets Captain Edanos, Rortho, and Braei. Tragedy strikes and he is forced to face his destiny. He travels with the Captain and his crew to meet a god and the adventures begin. Enjoy the madness as Valrin, Edanos, Rortho, Braei, Fadis, Evurn, and Aeveam travel the Glacial Seas to battle the dwarves loyal to the Barb King ( bent on destroying all elves and mankind). Our crew will meet and even be tested by gods. If a god is going to back you, they need to know you're worth it. This series had me run a gamut of emotions. This is an amazing fantasy series!! I most definitely recommend it for anyone who loves fantasy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stormborn Saga Adventure
Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2020

This box set includes 3 titles: 1-Stormborn, 2-Mage Soul, and 3-Elf Bane. The story begins with Valrin, said to be born of the sea. Raised by his adopted elven aunt on a small fishing island, he knows nothing of his past and wonders of his future.... until the unexpected arrival of a mysterious ship changes everything. Below is a review of the first book to give you an idea of what you will find in this set.

*** “1-STORMBORN” ***
Valrin woke early in the morning. He was an orphan boy who caught eels for a living in the fishing town where he lived. A fisherman told him some dwarven ships were coming, so he gathered his eels to sell for bait. But the ship that arrived wasn’t a fishing ship. A scary-looking dwarf announced that another ship might come with dangerous elves, men, and a witch and they would need to toss the contents of a bag he gave them into the water if they arrived.

The ship did arrive and asked to purchase a tall tree to repair their damaged mast. Valrin’s Aunt Tua told the fishers to go home and invited the Captain to her home while his crew went to get the tree. The captain seemed very interested that Valrin had been washed up from the sea, just as the captain himself had. There were tales about those special people, destined for the water. The captain handed a ring to Valrin and asked him to put it on. Certain people would be able to breathe underwater if they wore it, and the ring glowed on Valrin’s finger. Aunt Tua brought out an amulet she’d saved for Valrin and the captain started to explain what it was when there was pounding on the door. The fishers had poisoned the crew and signaled the dwarves to attack. There was more going on than anyone knew, and danger was everywhere! Would anyone survive? Will Valrin discover his true destiny before it’s too late?

This was a short but very good story. Don’t miss out on this wonderful collection! The writing is good and the story lines will keep the reader’s full attention!

These were a great read, fast paced full of danger and adventure. These stories take place in the same land as the Rogues of Magic Trilogy , and in the years prior to those storys. This is a very good read and holds your attention from beginning to end.
J.T. Williams is a fine Author and a great story teller. Suitable for young adults as well as anyone who loves the fantasy world of sword and sorcery!
J.T. Williams in one of the best indie authors and worth checking out! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Trilogy with a bonus book

This box set is a great beginning and introduction to the world that J.T. Williams has created. It has many great aspects of fantasy books from various types of magic (even a hint of “technology” magic). The characters are well developed and draw you in strongly. I am hesitant to compare it to others, yet it is definitely worth reading by any fantasy reader!

1.0 out of 5 stars Life is too short to waste on puerile writing.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 19, 2019

I detest writing bad reviews but for the sake of any potential reader I have to say - No! don’t do it - you have been warned.
This is writing of a pretty puerile standard. None of the characters managed to engage me to even the most superficial level. The ‘plot’ such as it is, is pretty trite. Defenceless kid to buccaneer captain in one fell leap! Really?
Life is far too short for this type of ‘literature’.
