The Chosen is the first book in The Compendium of Raath
Series created by Michael Mood.
Young and abused farm
girl, Wren Hartfield, runs away from home. Helping a caged ape earns her a
burning symbol on her forearm and most unlikely friends. Otom Aldenburg is a
self-exiled Monk haunted by his past. He survives an attack on the Kilgane
Monastery by monstrous creatures. Krothair Mallurin is an orphan who dreams to
be a Kingsguardian. He is sent to apprentice under the legendary sword master.
Halimaldie D’Arvenant is a successful businessman who is about to discover
something he was never willing to believe before. Then, there is Cleric Domma
of the Sunburst Temple whose power allows her to discover who attacks a patient
under her care.
They are the Five Mages
of Raath, a place where magical powers are earned for doing good deeds. Each of
them travels to the Temple of Sin’ra for instructions from God.
This is an exciting and
suspenseful book of magic and adventure. It has a consistently steady pacing
and an unpredictable plot. Scenes are described in vivid detail and the
suspense is maintained until the last pages of the book. Though the ending is,
understandably, cliffhanger, common to books in series, it gives a certain
feeling of closure to the readers. Most of the characters are endearing and all
of them are intriguing making the readers want to read more.
Congratulations to Michael
