    About this audiobook

    The first book in an epic fantasy series by James Maxwell, author of the bestselling Evermen Saga.

    War is coming to Xanthos. The king refuses to face the truth, but his overlooked second son, Dion, can see the signs: strange warships patrolling, rumors of a new tyrant across the sea, and the princess of a neighboring land taken hostage…

    The princess, Chloe, refuses to be a helpless pawn in this clash of nations. She and Dion will need allies to turn the tide of war – and there are none more powerful than the eldren, a mysterious race of shapeshifters who live in the Wilds.

    As a world-spanning conflict begins, a king is betrayed, a prophecy is fulfilled, and Dion learns a secret about his past that changes his life forever.

    James Maxwell

    James Maxwell grew up in the scenic Bay of Islands, New Zealand, and was educated in Australia. Devouring fantasy and science-fiction classics from an early age, his love for books translated to a passion for writing, which he began at the age of eleven. Inspired by the natural beauty around him but also by a strong interest in history, he decided in his twenties to see the world. He relocated to London and then to Thailand, Mexico, Austria, and Malta, developing a lifelong obsession with travel. It was while living in Thailand that he seriously took up writing again, producing his first full-length novel, Enchantress, the first of four titles in his internationally bestselling Evermen Saga. Iron Will is the fourth and final novel in his latest series, The Shifting Tides. When he isn’t writing or traveling, James enjoys sailing, snowboarding, classical guitar, and French cooking.

      An amazing book with plenty of twists all throughout the book. The main characters show so much development in this first book but done so that it doesn't feel overwhelming at the end.

      I really enjoyed this book, it's really imaginative. It's got something for teens as well as adults adults. Not too complicated that you get lost in the details, but still leaves you guessing all the way through.
