The Borderkind

Golden brings back Oliver, Frost, Kitsune and a whole host of legendary and mythical beings in the Borderkind. Oliver must still reach both kings for his pardons before the hunters reach and kill him. He has since learned that his sister is missing, his father has been murdered, and that the police are looking to question him in a line of murders that are similar to his fathers. Meanwhile, Detective Haliwell and Oliver’s fiancé Julianna, have stumbled into the veil, through a cabin, were they were tracking Oliver on an island in Scotland. They are trying to figure out where they are and what is going on. Oliver figures out with help from his new friends that Collette has been kidnapped by the Sandman. So now, he must not only get his pardons he must rescue his sister. Along the way he comes by a sword that was given to the first lost one that was given a pardon. The sword belonged to King Hunyadi which gave Professor Koenig the pardon. The sword proves to serve Oliver well and helps to get him his first pardon. Oliver and his friends must figure out who ordered the Hunters to hunt and kill the Borderkind. Only after that answer is found and the person or persons responsible have been dealt with can Oliver go on with his life, and possibly return to Julianna and their life together. Oliver find out he is somewhat of a “chosen one” and must help to save the Borderkind.

Golden continues to build a wonderful world with the Borderkind with his exemplary writing. He delves into the psyche of Oliver, Frost and Kitsune thereby helping you to understand them better. The Borderkind is a wonderful story and another for the keeper shelf. I will be picking up any books that he writes. He is a wonderful and very refreshing author that brings life to his work.

Love and tragedy: those were things she appreciated most in the movies. Some of them had monsters, but all of the monsters were human. She’d never had an interest in the other sort… could not invest any real fear in them, because she did not believe.

But Collette believed in monsters now.
