I read Souls of the Never by Colin J Rutherford last year and gave it 4.5 stars. When Colin Rutherford decided to pen the prequel to the book, I had to read it. This one is good! Synopsis (from the author): Teralia, a world of light and beauty; it holds the core of magic that infuses the universe. Here, two friends, closer than brothers are destined to become the mightiest among the immortal Elven race. One will fall, ensnared by an ancient evil, thought destroyed eons ago. The other will face a desperate choice to save a doomed world. Ultimately, only one can prevail. What I liked: Colin Rutherford did a great job of filling in the background for his story. He reveals the story behind the story in just the right way. The interplay between the two friends, the reason for the descent into evil and madness was handled just right, and the sacrifices made set the stage perfectly for Souls of the Never. What I didn’t like: About the only criticism I have is that some of the characters didn’t flesh out as much as I would have liked (Or’n, for instance), and that the dragons gave in a bit too easily. Overall impression: Well written, great background on the Souls of the Never series, and an overall excellent read. I would recommend it to anyone who needs a primer on the series, or who wants a short but entertaining story! My rating: 5 Stars!

A good tale but it's more of a prologue than a prequel it's lacking details and length to be a suitable novel.

About the author
I was born in...well, a while back. I spent most of my early years growing up on my Grandad's farm in Donegal, Ireland. The farm was in the middle of nowhere, the closest town over 10 miles away down a country track.
We didn't have running water, so every morning old Willie Lyons would get on his bike, with a bucket on each handlebar as he rode up the hill to fill them from the spring. Not a tap, a real genuine mountain spring.Growing up, I spent every summer there, exploring the surrounding countryside. Even back then I used to imagine faeries and monsters, with the trolls always living under the bridge on the way up to the spring. Willie was getting old now, so I fetched the water.
My Grandad is long gone now, but the farm is still there. I still know the owners and I still take my kids out there from time to time. The roads haven't got much better, but it's worth it to walk the old fields again, and show them where I played as a boy.
My first 'proper' job was as an apprentice, building aircraft with a company called Shorts Brothers in Belfast. I then went on to join the Royal Air Force. I always joke that my first job was building planes, but my second was shooting them down.
I traveled a fair bit with the RAF, but now I'm back on civvy street, living in Belfast, Northern Ireland, with my wife, two girls and a dog.
I started writing when my youngest daughter informed me that she was getting too old for bedtime stories. You see, I'd been making up a different one each night for both of them for years. I was devastated. What was I to do with all this nonsense in my head?
So I began to write.
'Souls of the Never' is my first book in a series I call 'Tales of the Neverwar', but I've gone on to write 'Origins of the Never', a novella prequel to Souls. Book Two, Worlds of the Never is done, and I'm currently working on book three, War of the Never.
