Description
As Edwyrd Eska approaches his two-hundredth year as Guardian of the Core, he must find an apprentice to train under him. His title and role compel him to safeguard and govern his universe, Gladonus, as each Guardian before him has done and those after him shall continue to do until relieved of such duties by will of the Ancients. Prince Hydro Paen, Eirek Mourse, and Zain Berrese—amongst other contestants—receive invitations to compete in a quest of Trials intended to determine who will become Eska’s apprentice.
An old adage goes: “The toughest trials test you truest” – and these events challenge their fortitude through tenuous partnerships, intellectual rivalries, and battles of weapons’ mastery. Along the way, each contestant must attempt to overcome personal demons that haunt them. In this tale of ideal dreams and lucid aspirations, these competitors find theirs threatened by deceit, betrayal, sabotage—and even flesh—as all become vital to success…
Advance Praise
"This is a great adventure - a science fiction fantasy with almost everything but the kitchen sink thrown in: princes and planets, spells and spaceships, puzzles and plot twists. The trials take place in a boundless galaxy, where all the characters and locations are linked by a well-thought-out history and lore." - by Rob May, author of Reckoning of Dragons series.

Thankyou to NetGalley, BooksGoSocial and Michael E Thies for the opportunity to read a copy of The Trials Of The Core in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.
I am the first to admit, even though I enjoy fantasy novels, I am very fussy with the fantasy novels I will read. I was drawn to this book by the cover, then the description. It was promising a lot, so I was curious to see if it delivered. And, OMG, it did.
I loved this book. The storyline was well written with characters that are engaging. I had trouble putting this book down.
If you enjoy the genre, then do yourself a favour and read this book. Be warned, don't expect to do too much else until you finish the last page. I certainly am looking forward to reading more from this author.
