The Warden
The Warden | Daniel M. Ford
3 posts | 2 read | 2 to read
For fans who have always wanted their Twin Peaks to have some wizards, The Warden is a non-stop action adventure story from author Daniel M. Ford. There was a plan. She had the money, the connections, even the brains. It was simple: become one of the only female necromancers, earn as many degrees as possible, get a post in one of the grand cities, then prove shes capable of greatness. The funny thing about plans is that they are seldom under your control. Now Aelis de Lenti, a daughter of a noble house and recent graduate of the esteemed Magisters Lyceum, finds herself in the far-removed village of Lone Pine. Mending fences, matching wits with goats, and serving people who want nothing to do with her. But, not all is well in Lone Pine, and as the villagers Aelis is reluctantly getting to know start to behave strangely, Aelis begins to suspect that there is far greater need for a Warden of her talents than she previously thought. Old magics are restless, and an insignificant village on the farthest border of the kingdom might hold secrets far beyond what anyone expected. Aelis might be the only person standing between one of the greatest evils ever known and the rest of the world. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Maybe it‘s me, I don‘t know, but this is the second fantasy I‘ve read recently which took entirely too long to get going but…BUT…which was really interesting just as soon as the author moved on from establishing the world & magic system. First in a trilogy, this has a lot of familiar elements—young girl sent to be town‘s magician runs into suspicious villagers, unexplained magic & attempted murder—ultimately pulled together well enough. Soft pick.

It‘s raining, it‘s windy and it‘s Friday the 13th—of course I have to read the book described as Twin Peaks with wizards. How could I not?

Just in case anyone wonders, “The Warden” is the book that has been living rent-free in my brain for hecking MONTHS as “that cool book I want with the purple forest cover” and now I FINALLY sleuthed my way to the title. TRIUMPH!…But seriously: does this kind of thing ever happen to others? Am I alone in my suffering?! 😂

BookmarkTavern Yes! There was one book my grandmother bought me probably 25 years ago. Could not remember anything beyond a boy, and blue and yellow stripes. Last year I found it online! 9mo
