This is the first book of the series. I highly recommend it. I couldn’t put it down. Ian is a magical and sword fighting man. He has women constantly trying to be with him. He was in the war 10 years ago that he trying to forget. But someone returns and makes him relive some of the moments he has been trying to forget. I cannot wait until book two.

The second book just keeps getting better. Like the first I highly recommend it. Ian has everything taken away from him, after he captured. He has to fight to keep alive and learn who to trust. Can he do or does he give up? Ready for book three.

This is the last book of series. It was just as great as the other two. Ian has to time travel to fix past mistakes. He needs to try to save himself before he can save everyone else. Is he able to do it?
