Synopsis

Unholy War, the penultimate volume of David Hair's Moontide Quartet, sets the stage for the series' impending conclusion. Fanboy Comics compares it to "great fantasy epics such as A Song of Ice and Fire and The Wheel of Time, and it easily earns its place amongst them."Tensions are mounting after a devastating battle before the walls of Shaliyah, birthplace of the Prophet. The East is rising, bringing equal measures of hope and despair to the magical world of Urte.For some Salim's victory is a call to arms, for others it is evidence of a world gone mad. While the armies of East and West clash in brutal conflict, emperors, inquisitors, Souldrinkers, and assassins all have their attention turned elsewhere as they hunt the Scytale of Corineus. The immensely powerful artifact is the key to ultimate power, and it's in the hands of unlikely guardians: failed mage Alaron Mercer and market-girl Ramita Ankesharan, who carries the child of the world's greatest mage. The fate of the world hinges on destruction should the artifact fall into the wrong hands.

*** 4. 75 *** Ok, I am surprised at my own rating on this one, but hear me out. The whole world seems to be going through some weird surrealistic movie plot, in which everything we are used to doing is on pause and we are asked to separately shelter in our homes, practice social distancing, and prete......more

Goodreads review by Nathan

Fantasy Review Barn Three books into a war spanning two continents- where the hell are you? For reasons I can’t figure out David Hair’s epic series is flying somewhat under the radar. The Moontide Quartet has everything I am looking for when I want a truly epic feel and Unholy War is a very worthy con......more

Goodreads review by Solseit

Quite impressive continuation of the series. It just lost a bit of momentum (in pretty much all the story lines) in the second half to regain it at the end. Still interesting characters, good twists and turns. I am hoping that the last book will be impressive!......more
