About this ebook
Award-Winner Carr Delivers Latest in Fantasy Saga
Victory over the dark forces during the feast of Bas-solas should have guaranteed safety for the continent. Instead, Willet and the rest of the Vigil discover they've been outsmarted by those seeking to unleash the evil that inhabits the Darkwater. Jorgen, the member of the Vigil assigned to Frayel, has gone missing, and new attacks have struck at the six kingdoms' ability to defend themselves.
Just when the Vigil thought they had quenched the menace from their enemy in Collum, a new threat emerges: assassins hunting the Vigil, men and women who cannot be seen until it's too late. The orders of the church and the rulers of the kingdoms, fearing the loss of the Vigil's members altogether, have decided to take them into protective custody to safeguard their gift. On Pellin's orders, the Vigil scatters, leaving Willet to be taken prisoner by the church in Bunard.
In the midst of this, Willet learns of the murder of an obscure nobleman's daughter by one of the unseen assassins. Now he must escape his imprisonment and brave the wrath of the church to find the killer in order to turn back this latest threat to the northern continent.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5When you think that things are going well for Will Dura, chaos erupts!This is the second book in the Darkwater Saga. Will and the other members of the Vigil defeated the evil of the Darkwater in the first book. They did not know that the evil is spreading and the enemy is taking a new approach to corrupt society.In order to fully grasp this book, you really need to read The Shock of Night first. The plot of this fantasy is complex. There are many people involved. The Vigil is a complex group that has religious origins. They have "gift" to sort through memories and determine a person's innocence or guilt. They can also exact justice.The Darkwater is a forest where evil lurks. It alters minds and changes personalities. The Vigil has tries to keep people from the forest, but there are ways to entice people to enter. The way that Patrick W Carr writes his story is enticing. I could see both sides of the coin and have empathy for characters that I normally would not. He uses the most unlikely heroes who step up and do amazing things. I have enjoyed every book he has written (yes, I have read them all.)If you are a fantasy lover and love an epic tale you should read this saga. It has violence. The people are evil and there are uncomfortable things done to good people. There is mention of rape, but it is not descriptive. There will be another book!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This review is based on an eARC I received from NetGalley. It is an honest and voluntary review and the advanced receipt of it in no way affected my review or rating.I have been a fan of Author Patrick W. Carr since I first read A Cast of Stones. When I saw that he had a new series, The Darkwater Saga, I absolutely had to check it out. This is a different flavor of fantasy than I had come to expect from Mr. Carr but it is engrossing, full of darkness and utterly complex.This is an epic fantasy and if you are expecting happy endings you will not find them here. There is conflict from beginning to end. This story is a battle of the minds, wills, and powers that be. There are many elements that combined make this book dark, gritty, and painful at times. The characters are given hope and then that hope is just dashed but they must soldier on and continue to fight the good fight. There is death and at times horror in death. This story follows no formulas.The complexity of this story just pulls you into the moment and makes you feel as if you are part of the story. You will be emotionally connected for both good and bad with the characters. It just makes reading this story very intense. That intensity is also paired humor, love, and sarcasm, I do love sarcasm. ? The relationship between Willet Dura and Bolt has carried through from the first installment and they pairing is has only developed and become stronger.What won’t you find in this story? Patrick W. Carr has consistently given us amazing writing that was free of graphic sexual situations as well as keeping the horror level to an acceptable minimum. The Shattered Vigil is no exception to this pattern. This is an action packed epic fantasy that is also a clean read!What do I wish was different? This story is told from the point of view of Dura and I wish that it was told from third person or from alternating points of views. I really do enjoy when I get to see things from the perspectives of other characters, listen to their inner monologue and understand how they are feeling. Aside from that I found that this was an excellent read and I highly recommend it!*Thank you to NetGalley & Bethany House Publishers for this eARC of The Shattered Vigil*
