Publisher's summary

Old ways have been broken in the blood and smoke of the Battle of Thornhurst by Allystaire Stillbright and followers of the Goddess. Now the Paladin must recover from his ordeal, carve out a hopeful future for the shattered Baronies, and prepare for the next attack upon the Goddess' new and fragile following.

But the corrupt deity, Braech, the Sea-Dragon, will not easily let go of the power that has long been his. Braech's minions, led by the calculating Archpriest Symod, march on the now-weakened Baronies.

The final battle, a crusade against the Mother and all of her followers, is near, and Allystaire, the Arm of the Mother, is left to rally the survivors - including some of his oldest enemies - to face a foe that will not rest until all the Mother's faithful are broken and each Barony submits to the Sea Dragon once more.

I can’t wait for the NEXT trilogy!

It’s so difficult to find fantasy books like this trilogy, it was amazing!

I would recommend series by Brandon Sanderson, Michael J Sullivan, Melissa McPhall, David Hair (moonrise quartet),
Patrick Rothfkuss, Mitchell Hogan, Will Wright

I’m always looking for good books so please recommend author’s on your reviews as well❗️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great Trilogy

This series got better with each book. I’ve read too many trilogies that simply die with a whimper at the end but not The Paladin Trilogy. This series grew in intensity with every book. I lost far too much sleep not wanting to put it down. If you like Fantasy novels I highly recommend this trilogy. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

Seems like a sequel is needed.

Narration was excellent. characters stayed true to form however this book lacks as a send-off to the story. it didn't feel like the events were either fully settled nore a great number of story plots were suitably finalized. An ending was offered and it was good enough, however it was not up to the rest of the story.

Good trilogy

The trilogy as a whole was very good. However, I almost quit the series after the first book. Book 1 is like the rising action of the whole trilogy and book 2 and 3 are the climax.

Great Story!

At times throughout the trilogy, I found some discrepancies between the characters choices and decisions. Meaning one character would argue against killing another, then in the next chapter chide the main character for letting that same person live.
All in all though, great trilogy! Fantastic even! Didn’t let woke politics get involved and go down the checklist. Every character felt natural to the story. I highly recommend this trilogy!
