I expected plot armour in books 2 and 3 but I kind of hoped it would expire in book 4. It's been released in UK and US editions, as well as translated into German, Dutch, Turkish and Bulgarian. The only thing is, for now, I'm going through the first chapters with a sense of frustration. The second in David Hair's epic Moontide Quartet, perfect for fans of Brandon Sanderson, George R.R.

I just finished reading the Moontide Quartet series by David Hair. The Moontide has come, and the clash between East and West begins again. It has everything a fantasy novel should have. He has a degree in History and Classical Studies. I keep hearing about the Rimini, the Silacians, the Rondians, and Norromen.

Notes:ĝareem’s education in the gnosis has largely been enabled through his father, and secret visits by Ordo Costruo tutors, as Hanook maintains covert relations with the Builder Mages.Moontide is a 1942 American film produced by Mark Hellinger and directed by Archie Mayo, who took over direction after initial director Fritz Lang left the project early in the shooting schedule. He and his father have concealed their skills for decades, even when dealing with Hadishah mage-assassins operating in the Lakh court. This has meant that he has become extremely talented at the aspects of the gnosis that favour discretion, deception and concealment, rather than direct confrontation. History prior to Y927:ĝareem has been raised in the unusual situation of having to conceal his gnosis from anyone but his father, The scholar (and eventually Vizier), Hanook. These spirits have their own access to the gnosis and their own affinities with a combined might that makes them extremely dangerous, especially against those without an affinity for. However, he makes up for this by clever and patient use of wizardry, binding powerful spirits to a menagerie of stuffed birds of prey which he keeps as apparent decoration around his home. If he has a weakness it is that he lacks extensive combat experience, having had to live concealing his powers and he has a scholar’s aversion for direct confrontation. At the same time as attacking them mentally he attacks them physically with gnostic bolts and controlled streams of flame.Īgainst a large force he divides their numbers with walls of flame and protective use of illusion. Being gifted in both mesmerism and illusion Dareem will rip his enemies’ minds apart, forcing them to feel pain and fear whilst creating dreadful images and making it appear their flesh is melting from their bones. In combat Dareem’s fighting style is characterized by skill and control with no wasted movement or gnostic use. He is gifted in morphic gnosis, able to alter his features to disguise his movements from political spies as well as using mesmerism to gently probe for information. Mage Affinities/Physical abilities:ĝareem is a three quarter blooded mage.Īs well as a strong blood heritage, and despite the secrecy surrounding his gnosis, Dareem is extraordinarily skilled. Highly intelligent and a gifted scholar and politician.
