    A world of Ryyha adventures

    Reviewed by Paige Lovitt for Reader Views (1/12)

    “Birth of the Half Elves” is the first of six books in the “Elven Age Saga.” It takes place on the planet Ryyah. The tale begins when the human youth Donovan’s quiet village is overtaken by barbarians. Catching the people off guard the barbarians attack the town while the men are out on a salmon fishing expedition. These barbarians are slavers looking for women and young men to capture. After they initiate their attack on these peaceful people, the only remaining survivors are the women and the young men deemed fit enough to sell into slavery. Twelve-year-old Donovan and his best friend Akenji are both captured. While they are being led off, they are spotted by Elven Rangers. The leader of these Elven warriors is a female named Alayna. Alayna takes pity on the captives and orders her men to rescue them. She knows that this goes against her Elven Lord Aden’s wishes, because he wants all human trespassers to be destroyed. In her heart she knows that these young men are innocent.

    Alayna decides to convince Lord Aden to allow her to train the youth as spies so that they can prove useful in helping protect his forest. He agrees, but always does everything in his power to send them into battle before they are ready. This pains Alayna greatly. When Lord Aden’s daughter Princess Brandela is sent to Eldergate to find eligible servants, she is captured when the town is attacked. Once again barbarians are seeking slaves. They are also hoping to capture the princess because they know that she will bring in a huge bounty from the dangerous Shadow Elves. As the fighting commences, lives are lost and the princess is taken captive. When Donovan discovers who he has lost to the barbarians, he vows revenge and seeks to free the princess so that the Shadow Elves will take their fury of her loss out on the leader of the Barbarians.

    Once Donovan gets to Brandela, the adventure really begins. They discover a connection that they did not know was possible between humans and elves. As they journey back to Brandela’s forest they have to remain vigilant to avoid the barbarians. This is much easier said than done. They also try to understand what is happening between them. Their connection to each other is incredible, and Brandela’s father will not be happy when he discovers the truth.

    “Birth of the Half Elves” is a wonderfully written Elven fantasy. I read it in one sitting. As a matter of fact, as soon as I started reading, I was hooked and I wished that I had all six of the books that are in the series. The story is unique in that humans are trained in the Elven ways. Having a romance between a human and an elf also leads to some interesting dilemmas. The background descriptions of the places where the tale takes place are colorfully written and easy to picture. The characters are also all very complex and add a great deal of reality to the story. I highly recommend this novel to fans of fantasy fiction.

    Pacific Book Review

    In the history of Elves there was a time before remembering known as The Elder Days and it lasted for thousands of years. Then for an unknown reason their King suddenly died. How could this be? The Elders were immortal! In the confusion a great civil war ensued and the unrest caused their magical Rune stone to explode. Total darkness fell over the Elder kingdom to last for 100,000 years. The magical source stone had held their immortality. Now, all was lost. They no longer called themselves Elders as their immortality died during the time of darkness. The Elder Age ends and H.L. Watson¿s, epic story, The World of Ryyah,First Book in the Elven Age Saga-Birth of the Half Elves, begins.
    The Elven factions begin to compete with each other and they have more contact with the human race. Humans behave like animals and are referred to as barbarians. If they wonder into the Elven Forest they will be killed or used as pawns. This protocol slowly changes with Alayna, a five-hundred year-old Elf. One day Alayna rescues Donovan and some orphaned human children from the clutches of Boric the Knife, a true barbarian. Human or not, Alayna takes Donovan and the other boys into the Wood Elven Forest and trains them to become human Elven Rangers. Alayna is mother, teacher and commanding officer to the boys. Her name is sacred to them. They become swift of foot and fast of hand and great protectors of the Elves and their lands. Alayna dies and Donovan becomes a man. He is the greatest warrior of the human Elven Rangers. He lives for one reason and one reason only; to avenge the cruel fate and death of the two mothers he has loved. Death to the barbarians is the thought that fuels his anger and keeps him willing to go on. As Donovan searches for the warlord Garock, he has an opportunity to rescue the Elven Princess Brandela, and it could help him in his quest.

    Brandela is young and beautiful. Her life is protected and luxurious until Eldergate is raided. She finds freedom just beyond the Wood Elven Forest that was her home, but now she is living as an outcast. She uses the magic she knows for protection and healing. And, she finds love and happiness in the arms of her forbidden lover. She has never known such heaven and bliss! She wonders if the bonding spell has worked. And, dare she return to her life as a princess? What would happen to her love? If Donovan rescues her what will become of him and of her? Could a House of Donovan really evolve?

    With The World of Ryyah-Birth of the Half Elves, H.L. Watson has created an extraordinary piece of Elven fiction. A book that is a must read for those who still believe in magic; the magic of love and romance, the magic of a loyal family, and the magic that can renew one¿s faith when all they hold dear is lost. This is the magic we find in myth and legend that leaves us spellbound. And, spellbound you will be anticipating Mr. Watson¿s second book in the Epic Saga of the Elven Age!
