The Lost Sentinel: An epic fantasy adventure (Silent Sea Chronicles - Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Suzanne Rogerson (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.2 out of 5 stars 114 ratings
The island of Kalaya is dying, and it’s up to Tei, an exiled mystic, to save it.
But with the Assembly attempting to eradicate all mystics, can Tei find the missing Sentinel and save her island home before it’s too late?

The Assembly controls Kalaya. Originally set up to govern the island, they now persecute those with magic and exile them to the Turrak Mountains. As a tailor’s daughter, Tei has always hidden her magic until her father’s old friend visits and warns they’ve been discovered. As they flee to Turrak, they are ambushed and her father is mortally wounded. His deathbed confession reveals a dangerous secret that will change Tei’s life forever.

Tei joins the exiles in their search for their new Sentinel - the only person capable of restoring the failing magic in Kalaya. But Masked Riders are hunting the Sentinel too, and time, as well as hope, is running out. Tei must risk everything she loves to save Kalaya, but is she ready to make that sacrifice?

The Lost Sentinel is the spellbinding novel that kicks off the action-packed fantasy trilogy Silent Sea Chronicles.

'...this story bowled me over, it was an absolutely outstanding epic fantasy...'

'THE LOST SENTINEL contains plenty of action, intrigue, and challenges throughout, making this a thrilling fantasy adventure... it whisked me away to someplace magical, alluring, and dangerous.'

'...Suzanne Rogerson can certainly make you forget time... A super start to what is going to be a sensational story, just make sure you are part of it from the beginning' Vine Voice reviewer

'A story in which the authors world building is exceptional, I was immersed in Tei's story from beginning to end and the characters were fantastically developed.' Vine Voice Reviewer

'With all the intricate world building, interesting characters and epic journey they all partake in, this book had me glued to it from the first page. As soon as I finished it, I was making a grab for book two to see what happened next! Suzanne Rogerson has written a fantastic start to this series - I love her writing style, and that she doesn't shy away from putting her characters through some tough challenges as the story progresses.'

Review

The Lost Sentinel is an enthralling fantasy set in a world divided into those who have magic, and those who do not. This is a book full of magic, suspense and bloodthirsty action. It will leave you in parts elated, devastated and finally desperate for the sequel. Rogerson's characters are so well-realised and the plot so intricate that you will find it hard to put this book down.

About the Author

Suzanne lives in Middlesex, England with her hugely encouraging husband and two children. She wrote her first novel at the age of twelve. She discovered the fantasy genre in her late teens and has never looked back. Giving up work to raise a family gave her the impetus to take her attempts at novel writing beyond the first draft, and she is lucky enough to have a husband who supports her dream - even if he does occasionally hint that she might think about getting a proper job one day. Suzanne loves gardening and has a Hebe (shrub) fetish. She enjoys cooking with ingredients from the garden, and regularly feeds unsuspecting guests vegetable-based cakes. She collects books, loves going for walks and picnics with the children and sharing with them her love of nature and photography. Suzanne is interested in history and enjoys wandering around castles. But most of all she likes to escape with a great film, or soak in a hot bubble bath with an ice cream and a book.

Suzanne lives in Middlesex, England with her husband, two children, a crazy cocker spaniel and a rather aloof cat.

Her writing journey began at the age of twelve when she completed her first novel. She discovered the fantasy genre in her late teens and has never looked back. Giving up work to raise a family gave Suzanne the impetus to take her attempts at novel writing beyond the first draft, and she is lucky enough to have a husband who supports her dream - even if he does occasionally hint that she might think about getting a proper job one day.

Now an author of four fantasy novels, including the Silent Sea Chronicles trilogy and a standalone fantasy, Visions of Zarua, Suzanne has recently turned her hand to short stories with three collections published to date.

She loves gardening and has a Hebe (shrub) fetish. She enjoys cooking with ingredients from the garden and regularly feeds unsuspecting guests vegetable-based cakes.

Suzanne collects books, is interested in history and enjoys wandering around castles and old ruins whilst being immersed in the past. She likes to combine her love of nature and photography on family walks, but most of all she loves to escape with a great film, binge watch TV shows, or soak in a hot bubble bath with an ice cream and a book.

    Like a lot of people, I'm a little hesitant about reading indie writers, but I had none of that trepidation with this book. Roberson has created an exciting new world with characters i care about enough to want to read the next book (and any that follow)! My only criticism were the love matches, which all seemed to come out of nowhere, but afterwards did take a believable track. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to read epic fantasy with characters you'll root for.

    The island of Kalaya has a magic in it's land. There are those who live there that feel that connection and because of this also share in this magic. They are the mystics and the protectors. But not all that dwell on the island feel this connection, the non magic folk of the land are becoming more and more fearful of magic and it's users, this is due to the Assembly. A group of men who feel magic is poison and because of this those who are connected to Kalaya are living in fear hiding their magic or becoming exiled from their homes. If not they are hanged.

    The land is vast with many towns and villages, farm lands and sea ports. And in the mountain range there is the village of Turrak, the land that is the home of the mystics and their protectors and deep with in the mountain there lies the Sentinel, he is old and nearing passing. It is he who helps keep the magic of Kalaya alive.

    Tei and her father after a mysterious older man pays them, specifically her father, a visit have to flee the the Seatown village in which they live in the dead of night because word of that the Assembly is coming. He has always told her to hide her abilities, her magic. Unsure of why she has to abandon her home, friends and the life she has, her father explains to her they they are now exiles, to head to the mountains, to the village of Turrak, his home land.

    It is in Turrak that she discovers that the hope and future rests with her, for it is she who will have to find the new Sentinel, before the others do. Time is running out.

    The Last Sentinel is an Epic fantasy filled with a wide range of characters, which is told from multiple points of view. Each story line connected to the other, in twinging as you go deeper.

    I found this book to be well written, very plot and character driven, with fantastic world building. It didn't leave me lacking or wanting. Looking forward to continuing on with Silent Sea Chronicles and what ever else Suzanne Rogerson writes in the future. She is an author to keep yours eyes on

    3.0 out of 5 stars Mostly a Romance
    Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2021
    Format: Audible Audiobook
    It was OK. Tei is mostly our central character but she spends a lot of time being protected by the guys, usually carried around like precious luggage. In reading the description for this book, I was looking forward to having a female lead who got stuff done. But for most of the book she is almost helpless, barely making it from scene to scene, almost always with the assistance of this guy or that dude. Then there’s the romance. It seems that any guy who spends a bit of quality time with Tei falls in love with her, so it gets a bit weird with the various male protectors who come courting.

    We do get a good start to some world building at the beginning of the book. Then there’s the politics, which I felt added to the plot. Initially, there’s some definite danger and running from danger. Though there was that moment where Tei and her guys are all hiding under some shrubs along a road and Masked Riders are hunting them. I couldn’t help but think of that scene in the LotR movies where Frodo and the Hobbits are evading the Ring Wraiths, hiding off the side of the road.

    After that, the romantic elements become more pronounced and that was a bit of yawn for me. The politics did keep my interest a bit longer but then got a bit predictable. I struggled a bit to get through this slump in the middle. The ending does pick up a bit as betrayal and the threat of death loams over Tei. There’s a nice little twist at the end which could make the rest of the series better.

    While I can see the story has a decent arc and is written well enough, it didn’t spark anything for me. Sadly, I was bored with most of it. 3.5/5 stars.

    The Narration: George Ellington has a lovely voice that is quite pleasant to listen to. However, with the story having a female lead, I jumped into this book expecting a female narrator. While Ellington had distinct voices for all the characters, his female voices needed some femininity. Then there’s the sound effects. They were odd. Oddly timed. Odd sounds. I could sometimes tell what they were right away and sometimes I was left guessing. The pacing was good and there were no real technical issues with the recording. 3.5/5 stars.

    I received this audiobook as part of my participation in a blog tour with Audiobookworm Promotions. The tour is being sponsored by Suzanne Rogerson. The gifting of this audiobook did not affect my opinion of it.

    The theme of magic linked with the power of destiny and faith made this an appealing read right from the first chapters. I liked that the descriptions and character development was enough to give me the needed mental pictures without being excessive. I don't usually read fantasy but every time I put this book down, I couldn't wait to pick it up again. Yes, it was an enjoyable read.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A good blend of magic and realism
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 14, 2024
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    I enjoyed reading this fantasy novel. It’s book one of the Silent Sea Chronicles and I’ve already got books 2 & 3 on my kindle waiting to be read!
    The island of Kalaya is dying, the magic fading. Tei is appointed by the mystics in exile to find a new Sentinel, guardian of the magic.
    There’s a good blend of realism and magic and well drawn contrasts between the characters and their cultures.
    There are multiple viewpoints that are easy to follow and three main storylines; Tei, Brogan and Farrell.
    Farrell’s ship life and home life are well portrayed with a sense of impending doom from the start.
    Brogan’s farm life and town life are completely different even though they’re only a day’s ride apart. The uncomfortable position he’s placed in is made clear from the very beginning.
    And Tei’s discovery of who she really is and what her role is to be, is beautifully portrayed.
    There are tragic deaths, heroic rescues and love found and lost. This is a story about discovery and endurance.
    Ideal for fantasy lovers including YA readers.

    The Lost Sentinel had me engaged from start to finish and wanting more. It has three main story lines each having its own special characters but it was easy to follow. As the book progresses you can see a slight link between the story lines. I thought her first book Visions of Zarua was excellent but I enjoyed this one even more. I am waiting in anticipation for the second book of the trilogy.

    Having read Suzannes first novel 'Visions of Zarua' I highly anticipated reading more of her work. 'The Lost Sentinel' was a gripping start to a trilogy, with many interesting and likable characters. The various plot lines are easy to follow and merge well together to create and intrguing and unputdownable story. I eagerly await the second enstalment.
