Blog Tour: The Pact by Graeme Brown


Epic Fantasy
Date Published: 5/6/2013

Enter the world of Will Lesterall, a boy who’s grown up in the safety of his father’s castle. Tales of the outside world ruled by warring kings and creatures of nightmare have never seemed a threat, yet on the night celebrating the two hundredth year of the sacred Pact that has kept Fort Lesterall safe, a secret intrigue ripens, and in the course of a few hours Will is confronted with a choice greater than he can comprehend.
Join an unlikely hero as destiny pulls him into the middle of an ancient conflict between fallen gods and ambitious women, one that demands blood, both holy and wicked, and the power of an ancient fire bound in steel. As swords clash below a watching wood, hope and betrayal war as fiercely as fear and valor.
Whether he lives or dies, Will Lesterall will never be the same.


My Review:
This is a quick read for anyone who is in the mood for a great Fantasy and a new world to dive into. Will is a great lead character. Well developed and intriguing. 

Being that this is the first in a series, there is a lot of information and backstory to wrap your head around. I did feel a bit bogged down at times, but in the end everything came together. I feel the rest of the series will be a lot easier to read about having already met so many characters. 

Definitely interested in where the series will go from here.

Graeme Brown is has been enchanted by the epic fantasy genre since he was a child, and consequently he started creating his own world with its stories at the age of thirteen. Influenced by writers like J.R.R. Tolkien, Robert Jordan, and George R. R. Martin, he has finally brought the first of those stories to life with his debut title, a short story called The Pact—48 pages that will whisk you away to a dark, medieval fantasy world with gritty realism. When he’s not writing, he can be found exploring number theory problems or writing computer programs, training for a marathon, or unwinding in a yoga hot room. He has also explored other facets of art, both as a hobby and a profession, including vector graphics, pen and ink, classical piano, and web design. Despite being a full time student and a junior editor for Champagne Books, he makes sure to do a little writing every day. He is presently busy with the first of many sequels to The Pact, A Thousand Roads.

  1. Thanks so much for your review, Bailey! I really enjoyed writing this story so it makes me happy when I hear that someone else has enjoyed reading it. I am hard at work on the sequel and look forward to sharing a lot more soon about the story that begins with The Pact.
