And NO, Draakenwood isn’t the final book it’s just that things feel as though they’re coming to a head, so never fear, there’s more to come. Hawk is in the process of preparing us for the grand finale of this gorgeous multi-act play.

On a much grimmer note, this installment of the series also feels-at least to me-as though Jordan L. The events in Maelstrom have carried the overall series arc onward towards its peak, and Fallow reads like the book that is going to bridge those events to Draakenwood. Yes, all the above.įallow is a unique book in the Whyborne & Griffin series in that I feel it’s the first that reads like a direct sequel to the book before it. Hawk leads us on a headlong descent into Creepytown, USA. And, you would also be correct if you assume that scene is just a simple and sane little plot detour before Jordan L. Unless it’s an entire scene with Christine that’s nothing less than comedy gold. If your answer is A, not much, you would be correct. Review: Pop Quiz: What could possibly be better than reading a scene that has you wondering what sort of danger and intrigue lurks in the coming paragraphs of a Whyborne & Griffin novel…and then having our dear Percival say something completely charming and laugh-out-loud hilarious? And if the cult’s foul harvest isn’t stopped in time, Fallow will be only the first city to fall. But as drought withers the crops of Fallow, a sinister cult sinks its roots deep into the arid soil. To keep Griffin’s estranged mother safe, they must travel to a dying town in Kansas. Once a simple farmer from Griffin’s hometown of Fallow, the assassin now bears a terrifying magical corruption, one whose nature even Whyborne can’t explain.

When a man from Griffin’s past murders a sorcerer, the situation grows even more dire. His husband, Griffin Flaherty, wants to help-but how can he, when Whyborne won’t tell him what’s wrong?
