A thousand years have passed since the Elder Kingdoms were lost. Once the Elder races ruled all the northern lands and their knowledge and power were legend. What calamity befell them, none now know.
Centuries on and the north is a land where fell beasts and evil creatures roam unchecked, save in one place, the Wildlands of Darylor. Here mankind has slowly begun to explore and settle where once the Elder ruled, and within those lands, built amidst the ruins of a lost Elder city, lies the College of Magic. Inside, mankind seeks to rediscover the lost magics of old, but in secret one man desires the power to rule all and will stop at nothing to achieve his dream.
Meanwhile, in the city of Shandrilos, in the shadow of the College of Magic, a groups of friends come together. Jon 'Bear' Madraig, fighter and mage, and his best friend the roguish swordsman and knight, Darin of Kenarth come to meet old friends and relive past adventures. The master mage, Arkadi Talcost and the beautiful druid, Rebba Korran, seek only to relax and enjoy some time away from the demands of their work and the College. For these friends, this is merely a reunion. However, for Zara Halven, the notorious Whore of Ostia, and for the monk, Garon Vale, the visit to Shandrilos is more; for one it is a chance for redemption and for the other it is a test of faith. Yet for the last of the friends, the visit to Shandrilos is the most important of all. For the huntress, Nat Bero it is a chance for forgiveness... and for revenge.
These friends will be caught up in events that will change their lives forever, for the secret behind the destruction of the Elder is about to come to light..."
The fate of all can be decided by the actions of one who the gods guide to the right place at the right time. Do not underestimate the power of even the lowest to affect the paths of the mighty..."The words of the seeress, Ry'Ina White Eyes
Dark Horde Rising Second Edition edition by Iain Hope Literature Fiction eBooks
As Jon Madraig rides his war-ready stallion through the streets of the city of Lauria, he is clearly not a local. With his blue eyes and pale complexion, Jon is “a descendant of a strong house of warriors from the highlands of Calon.” Viewed with suspicion, Jon’s ultimate destination is the esteemed College of Magic in the city of Shandrilos. A truly spectacular place, Jon reflects that “nowhere else had magic users come together to share their knowledge in such a way, and definitely nowhere else had conflicting priesthoods; the Nordic Druids and the Alban Monks been brought together!” Jon meets with old friend Darin, and the two head to the college for the Grand Council of the Wildlands. Darin, a skilled swordsman and knight of the order of Saint Karodra, is just one of Jon’s many talented friends expected to arrive at the school. A commotion in the catacombs beneath Shandrilos requires an investigation, and Jon and his cohorts are tapped for an adventure on which they’ll encounter goblins, elves, enchanters, sorcerers, and other magical beings. Overflowing with characters like Val’Ant Greycloak (an elf lord of the wild) and Elgon the Golden (a Nordic warrior mage), the story if full of dense fantasy. Descriptions can be superfluous, such as the information that a sabre-staff is “a weapon virtually unknown to humans save for perhaps weapons experts” and is much “like a short staff about three feet long with a long slightly curved blade on the end.” Readers comfortable juggling such fare on a massive scale are likely to uncover a complex story that is as imaginative as it is expansive. Ultimately much stranger than the standard hack-and-slash caper, the reader can never be quite sure what spell or creature or unexpected visitation lies just around the corner.Product details

Dark Horde Rising Second Edition edition by Iain Hope Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
What may get you first when you start to get into this book is the sheer volume of information in it, even in the first few pages. When you then notice that the book is very long, it makes you understand that there is going to be a great amount of action in the pages as well. The beginning of this one was pretty scary, in my opinion, and set the mood of the tale. Essentially, there is an epic war going on, of good and evil; one that hasn’t taken place in many years, since the bad guys don’t band together very well to rise up against the opposition. Once you meet the cast of characters, you learn more about all the bad beings and the good factions. All of the main characters were very unique, although it took me a little while to get all the names down. Pick this one up if you appreciate a good fantasy story with mythological elements.
When I first saw how long this book was, I was a bit intimidated. More often than not, fantasy/sci-fi novels of this length tend to drag on with a lot of filler information. Certainly, not the case here though. Every page is filled with rich details and actions that move you through the story with ease. Sure, at times it is a lot to digest, but by the time you reach the final page you’ll be thankful for every last detail.
Of course, this doesn’t mean I found myself struggling through the book. Rather, I ended up pacing myself so I could enjoy every detail. There are many great action scenes here too though and you’ll get the cherished good vs evil battle that has gone over well with audiences for decades now.
I’d recommend this book to anyone who is looking to take a break from reality in order to go on an adventure. You’ll love the author’s writing abilities as well as his imagination and ability to portray it into written word.
In other cases, when we got stories like this one the main theme is
‘friendship’ and how the group helps each other to overcome all the trials
they face, but in this particular case friendship is just another thing added
to the story, and it deals with a little bit of everything.
I love this book! Everything is just so darn epic, and as I mentioned above,
it have a little bit of everything, the mystery of how the world ended as it
appear now, the power of friendship and the bonding between the
characters, revenge, fantasy, seriously, this is comparable to the heights of
A Song of Ice and Fire and The Lord of The Rings, remarkable work and the
imagination and creativity are taken to the next level.
In my list of personal favorites, it’s going to take a while for another book
to be on top of the list, as this one is definitely a gem to the genre.
Dark Horde Raising by I. Hope (second edition) it is a science fiction novel about magic and adventure , that started thousand years ago in the land known as the wildlands of Daylor, where the tribes that used to live there got divided and know there is only anarchy, the tribes that remain united are the less and there is the school of magic where everybody can find out the magic potions and spells of those past years, until someone very ambitious and full of power-desire start doing things to get everything he wants. Two men, the main characters are out there together to save the land and tribes by destroying the "Elder” and they are decided to stop it even when they have to risk their lives. The story is well written, full of imagination and action; it has a turn or twist almost in every page and keeps you interested in what is going on next. Good reading material for a weekend.
Dark Horde Rising is a magical fantasy fiction, discovering the buried secrets from the past. Elder Kingdoms were lost thousands of years back and no one knows what calamity caused it. Now, after many years Jon 'Bear' Madraig and his friends come together for a reunion but destiny had something else planned. This reunion will turn into an adventure and dangerous journey because they get caught up in a series of mysterious events, when the destruction of Elder will come to light that will change their lives forever.
The author’s creativity and imagination are at its heights in this novel with multiple elements – friendship, revenge, danger, adventure, mystery and fantasy. The twists and suspense together is the highlight and the feeling of what and when might happen next will engage reader to the fullest.
