About this audiobook
Chloe’s quest to escape the Oracle’s prophecy leads her to a magus with a secret: the eldren are not the only race to use magic in warfare. An ancient power is rediscovered, and a forgotten people will return.
Meanwhile, cursed by his birth, Dion tries to forge a new life at sea, away from both the eldren and his former life in Xanthos, but the one thing he can’t leave behind is his heritage.
Two kings on opposite sides of the ocean prepare for war.
The clash of civilizations has only just begun…
Author
James Maxwell
James Maxwell grew up in the scenic Bay of Islands, New Zealand, and was educated in Australia. Devouring fantasy and science-fiction classics from an early age, his love for books translated to a passion for writing, which he began at the age of eleven. Inspired by the natural beauty around him but also by a strong interest in history, he decided in his twenties to see the world. He relocated to London and then to Thailand, Mexico, Austria, and Malta, developing a lifelong obsession with travel. It was while living in Thailand that he seriously took up writing again, producing his first full-length novel, Enchantress, the first of four titles in his internationally bestselling Evermen Saga. Iron Will is the fourth and final novel in his latest series, The Shifting Tides. When he isn’t writing or traveling, James enjoys sailing, snowboarding, classical guitar, and French cooking.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Easy to listen to, good story. Looking forward to the next one!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Silver Road (The Shifting Tides Book 2) by James Maxwell is a book I had bought but forgot and then won by Goodreads. I am glad I did or I would have missed out on reading a great book for a long time. I didn't read the first book but I was able to jump right in to this without any problems, the writer smooths the path for the reader and off you go. The book starts out a little slow at first but picks up fast and doesn't stop. There is a lot of action, adventure, good guys vs bad guys, fantasy, and a touch of romance. Now of course I wish I had book one! Great book, will have to read more of his work. I don't remember reading anything foul mouth either, now that I think of it.... Wow, a new first for me.
