Two old dudes want to kill me. Oh, and one of them is my ancestor…


And after centuries of practice, they’re pretty good at the whole murder thing. But at least they want to kill each other just as badly.

Now, I’ve taken down a Greek Goddess, worn a Horseman’s Mask, and I ride a homicidal unicorn who hates rainbows with a passion. Some might say sending two senior citizens to a permanent retirement home should be a breeze.

It ain’t.

Because that’s not my biggest concern. One of my friends is in danger, or possibly dying, and I need to get her back before her fiancé kills me. But finding her introduces me to new worlds of pain. The biggest of these being my own past—which has been a blatant lie—and a parting gift from my parents—which might have just been the coin toss for the Apocalypse Olympics.

I’m beginning to realize that none of the old Gods, Legends, or Monsters have been idle the last few centuries. They’ve been waiting, picking sides, and scheming schemes.

Of course, maybe one of those two old dudes will punch my ticket and save me the headache. A wizard can Hope, right? Because either way, I’m about to have a very bad series of days…

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Shayne is a man of mystery and power, whose power is exceeded only by his mystery…

He writes the Amazon Bestselling Feathers and Fire Series about a rookie spell-slinger named Callie Penrose who works for the Vatican in Kansas City. Her problem? Hell seems to know more about her past than she does.

He also writes the Amazon Bestselling Nate Temple Series, which features a foul-mouthed wizard from St. Louis. He rides a bloodthirsty unicorn, drinks with Achilles, and is pals with the Four Horsemen. Both series take place in the same universe, because it’s fun.

Shayne holds two high-ranking black belts, and can be found writing in a coffee shop, cackling madly into his computer screen while pounding shots of espresso. He’s hard at work on the latest books in his shared TempleVerse, as well as a few new projects that will blow readers' mind-holes...

5.0 out of 5 stars Read this series - Really...
Reviewed in Australia on 28 November 2017

I will leave the story summary to the blurb and other reviewers as I could not add more and do this series justice. The 8th book in Nate Temple's story and the excitement, adventure and humour has never let up. Shayne Silvers has taken Nate and his friends, and enemies, growing their characters with each book and drawing readers, avidly rapt, into the journey with them through each new challenge and battle. Shayne has created an original, addictive and exciting world that shows every sign that he is enjoying creating and sharing this world with us as much as we enjoy joining him in it as readers, eagerly awaiting each new addition. Highly recommended reading.

Of all of the sci-fi, fantasy, urban fantasy series I have read and loved, this series is my favourite. It has all of the myths and legends. Wonderfully flawed and relatable characters. Keep writing forever, Mr Silver's. You are oh so entertaining. I feel the same sense of anticipation as a kid at Christmas waiting to see what happens next!✌️🙌

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow, every book is even better than the one before!
Reviewed in Australia on 27 November 2017
The Nate Temple Chronicles started with Obsidian Son and I absolutely recommend this series not least because each book manages to be even better than the one before, which is really impressive as the bar was set so high with Wild Side which was the book before this one. These chronicles are so packed with characters and mythology that you'll just have to read just 1 more chapter (or 2 or 3)?! I won't tell you the story as I couldn't do it justice but I will tell you that the Nate Temple kept me on the edge of my seat with the action and made me laugh out loud with his pure snark and lack of respect!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic series. A must read for action and mystery lovers
Reviewed in Australia on 28 November 2017
War Hammer is the latest in this series by Shayne Silvesrs. And wow, what a book. Gods, mortals and everything in between.
Nates typical mischief with a dash of trouble on the side. At last there are some answers and plenty more snarky one liners. Fantastic series and if you haven’t read any of these books then I recommend that you do so. The authors main characters will make you love them , and want to cry with them. Plenty of action, mystery, hope, loss ,gain and maybe love? This series i a must read. Once you start you wont be able to stop

This book settles any and all previous gripes. I am officially a Team Temple fan! Dedicated hardcore, just read EVERYTHING I can get my hands on! I don't know how Master Shayne sleeps, if he sleeps, with all the activity going on in that head of his.😂 Said with total affection. Back to the story. It was packed with action, explosions, (My inner tomboy rejoices) beefcake, dragons, fairies, Gods and magic galore! Too much to focus on any particular part without giving away spoilers. You'll find a cast of characters so loveable that you cheer them on to defeating their enemies, then slam dunk a couch cushion while celebrating in your best Thriller zombie 'victory' dance. Now. I'm ready for book 9.💖

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome read! I was engaged throughout entire series! An emotional roller coaster ride in every sense!
Reviewed in Canada on 8 June 2018

An emotional roller coaster ride in every sense of the word. It is an awesome read. It builds on itself as it should. You learn bits and pieces as you go. You laugh with the characters, you like love them, you hate them sometimes, wonder if they are friends, enemies, the pints is you are invested in one way or the other. Same with the enemies. Some of whom you will like more than others. But it is all the supernatural action, thriller & mysteries with it’s main plot & sub plots that will keep you invested, along with it quirky humour that helps make it fun to read instead of bogging it/slowing it down. If you haven’t read it....I highly recommend it, you won’t regret it!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Setting up the board to knock off all the pieces again
Reviewed in the United States on 29 November 2017

Once more, Silvers finds a way to rattle his status quo and stir up his world building. While not the titanic jumps in stakes or dynamic turn-arounds of some of the previous books, this one works on a (slightly) more subtle level, instead focusing heavily on the characters and dealing with the developments of their relationships in regards to prior events, and with new events that shed light on their history in ways they'd never imagined. The focus on characters over the fighting, though plenty of that still comes up, is a welcome addition given the tumultuous nature of everything in the last few books, and helps re-establish the development of many of the secondary characters who had been slipping into the background.

Silvers is also holding his stride with his overlapping protagonist interactions, Callie Penrose once again making an appearance and setting up another small but important building block in her relationship with Nate Temple, helping him re-establish his humanity a bit with his family and friends. Her part is significant for Nate but not overplayed, and Silvers manages the timeline between their series like a well handled juggling act, not giving any spoilers for her storyline but showing that she is also still growing and developing in her own way during all of Nate's adventures so the balance of power, experience and maturity between the two of them remains a close balance.

The books is also of course rife with hints as to the things coming in the future, Silvers likely looking to ratchet up the stakes a few more times before any of it starts to really unfold directly. Things are again pushing towards new revelations and for everything answered, more questions appear. Overall the book doesn't disappoint in any regard, and as always I look forward to what Silvers does next.

Reviewed in the United States on 11 February 2023

Excellent chapter in the Temple series. I liked the character development and the unexpected story twists. Silvers continues to repeat some elements from past books to remind the reader what has happened before and if I was reading these books with significant amounts of time between them these reviews would be helpful. However I find them a little annoying.

Nip in to fairy, rescue your best friend’s fiancée & pop back home? Quickly & easily, no great shakes. As we can expect, things don’t go quite to plan for Nate & crew, between alarm bells letting the world of fairy know it’s been invaded, hidden truths being revealed & buried memories surfacing, things are about to get interesting.

Awesome continuation of the Templeverse
