Consumed by guilt, Quildor Vinson returns to the Mage Tower and questions his place. He saw the signs of instability in his commander; could he have prevented the betrayal that nearly killed his comrades? When the High Mage mentions strange reports near the village of Quildor’s birth, he sees a chance to take action and volunteers immediately to investigate. Though he hasn’t set foot in the village for eighteen years, he has never forgotten Wren, the girl who claimed his heart when he was young. If the only woman he’s ever loved is in danger, Quildor knows he cannot remain idle. Even if it means disregarding the High Mage’s orders. --------------------------------------------------- Standalone Novella in a four book series.

Four Boundless Stars
I voluntarily received a copy of Make Me Whole for an honest review. This one took me a bit to get into and I was honestly worried I wasn’t going to like it. I think the names throw me because there are not easy to wrap the tongue around. However I kept reading and the story got really really good and exciting.
Quildor is tasked to return to the village of his birth after 18 long years away, to observe rumored weird happenings. He is finally returning home, returning to her, Wren. Wren, is a now a servant of the gods, a priestess if you will and acts to help shepherd the dead to their final resting place. (Kinda an icky gig if you ask me.) Her village is under a plague and people are dying at an astounding rate. And those that are supposedly there to help are working against her and her peoples beliefs.
Quildor was ordered to observe only, but when he sees the woman he still loves is stricken by plague he can’t, and is spurred to action. But the plague turns out to be much more malevolent than first appearance and it is a fight to stay alive and escape the village.
The story is very exciting and is loaded with intrigue, action and a bit of passion. I can’t wait to see what happens next!
My favorite quote from the story:
"There is no good or evil…….only truth and lies. We can learn to sort one from another when spoken, but the truth of a man’s thoughts is his greatest-kept secret. Time spent pondering another man’s truth is time for him to bury a blade in your gut.”
