Our view
Ryan Cahill’s novella “The Fall” throws the reader into a burning city and barely pauses before its last page. It serves as a short introduction to “The Bound and the Broken”: dragons overhead, traitors in the streets, an ancient order collapsing. A newcomer gets little explanation and must piece the magic together, some note, though its elements feel familiar. Some readers praise its tension and action and go straight on to the main series.

About the book
The Order have watched over the continent of Epheria for thousands of years. But there are those who believe The Order has had its day. That it is corrupt, indulgent, and deceitful – that it is ready to fall. The City of Ilnaen is on fire. Dragons fill the skies. Traitors fill the streets.
