It has been six hundred years since the Alchemists fused together men and beasts to form strong, mindless slaves. Now their most vicious creations have attacked the mystical Walking Gates, slaughtering their Keepers and isolating their cities.

Cathadeus editorial Review:
"A vividly built world enhances this fast-paced adventure, engulfing the reader in a fantastic reality. Tension never falters as each scene holds new dangers, unexpected challenges and gripping revelations. From the very beginning, the author masterfully builds momentum for the approaching war, while establishing an emotional tie to characters from each threatened nation . . . Through all of this, he cleverly constructs layers of hidden secrets, allowing the threat of a darker evil to hover in the background. This makes Cathadeus the beginning of what promises to be an addictive and exciting series."

"This is a marvelous fantasy story. By the second chapter I couldn't put the book down. There is action, adventure, lots of fighting, and serious bad guys. I strongly recommend checking this book out. Any fantasy lover will instantly adore this book. I can't wait to see what happens to Brax and his group next."

"Wow! What a read! Cathadeus is an adventure full of action and fighting (it is a war after all). There is loss, love - emotions galore. I cannot wait to read book two. This is a great series that not only will adults enjoy, but definitely the younger crowd as well. A great read!"
★★★★★ - Leels Loves Books Reviews
"I just loved this book! It captivated me from the beginning and continued to occupy my thoughts several days after I had finished reading it. One of the most imaginative fantasies I have read in a long time, with richly drawn, unusual characters that haunted my thoughts when I was not reading about their lives and adventures. This is a powerful and fulfilling read, and I look forward to the next book in the series by this exceptionally talented author."
