Representaion In Favor Of Books It Began With Ashes (Wroge Elements #1)

Peace in Wroge came at a price.

The cost?

War.

Wroge was divided by the Saive War. The Arneuton kingdom enslaved the Keltir clans into their invasion, and swept across the territory, converting and conscripting the weak, culling the strong. Five Years of war, the blood of four races, millions of deaths. The Arneut conquered. The Keltir were released from their imprisonment, but the Vikir and Narz were forever banished from Wroge's borders.

Draven fought for peace. He fought another man's war and paid for his freedom in blood. But even peace comes with its price. Taxes to another man's king. Draven's fight might have ended with the Saive War, but the struggle to afford safety for his family is far from over.

When the Vikir threaten Wroge's northern border they come with a debt of their own. And it's not taxes they're after. They come because of the Keltir's betrayal in the Saive War. They come from blood.

But Wroge's fate won't be decided by ageing warriors and old grudges. The lives of four young men, divided by peace, united by conflict, will shape the future of the war torn land.

'It Began With Ashes' is the story of how life's greatest struggle is to accept who you are - a tale of broken promises, bitter grudges, and brotherhoods bound in blood.

Appraise Of Books It Began With Ashes (Wroge Elements #1)

First of all: The author gave me this book for free in exchange for a review.Having read D.E.M Emrys' short story From Man to Man first, I thought - like a lot of people who reviewed this book - that Draven, or at least Nicolas, the Arneuton Tax Collector, would play a rather big role in the book, but this was not the case.Instead of having the story center around a rather classical protagonist, a middle-aged ex-mercenary looking for a new way of life, It Began With Ashes takes us into a world



It Began With Ashes by D.E.M. Emrys is the first book in the Wroge Elements series. I first journeyed into this particular world when I read the prequel From Man to Man a few months ago. When I was sent this book to review, I was hoping for an exciting read and a deeper look into the story of the main character of the novella. I was not disappointed. I was pleasantly surprised because not only did we get to see more of Draven Reinhardt, but we meet his son, wife, neighbors and a whole slew of

Having read From Man to Man I was expecting to read more of Draven's adventures, with Shrike probably playing a significant part. So I was rather surprised that the story opened with Nicolas, the Arneuton tax collector and his son, Astartes.Sure enough the action soon moves to Hearth village and Draven is making plans to rejoin the Mercenary Guild. However my preconceptions were soon subverted as it becomes clear that in many ways this novel is the story of a different generation, that of

This sequel of 'From Man To Man' is excellent,To say that I thoroughly enjoyed 'It Began With Ashes' would be an understatement .... the characters of Draven, his friends and their families have really firmed up in my imagination and I can really picture them.I would have no hesitation in recommending this book to anyone who likes the combination of Historical Fiction, Action, Adventure and a light touch of Fantasy.I look forward to the next book of this series 'A Stirring Of Dead Embers'See my

In the inspired style of David Gemmell, or Robert Howard, D. Emrys takes the minimalist approach to his stories. By that, I mean he lets the story speak for itself. Dialogue and action are the foundations of the world and story, rather than detailed description or extensive world-building facts. It can be a tricky approach to pull off, and most who attempt the strategy end up either losing their true writing voice or falling into simplicity. Fortunately for D. Emrys, the strategy mostly pays off

This is a well written book, and I found it quite easy to get into. The descriptions are good - if a little repetitive at times when it comes to describing people: we are constantly being reminded about the defining characteristic of some characters - and the story is intriguing. There is plenty of action, with the fight scenes not being skimped on but explored quite thoroughly, evoking more of the senses than just saying what the characters can see.But From Man to Man was written purely from
