NATE TEMPLE HAS HOLES IN HIS SOUL, BOTH IMAGINED AND REAL…

And the only way to patch his soul back together is to go back to where it all began. To where he began. To where a Manling was born…

To a dangerous boy named Wylde.

Because to have any hope at standing against Mordred—to save Camelot and St. Louis alike—he must learn what it means to be a Catalyst.

A little boy must know his legend—his origin. And he must learn the painful truth that his entire life has been meticulously planned and laid out like the steps to a choreographed dance. And that Mordred is just another dance card in a long line of future suitors at the Temple Ball.

If Nate can survive the dance, that is…

Let’s discover what dangers a little boy can get into when his imagination is more real than reality itself…

When the powers of life and death can be heard in the absent humming of a little boy playing in the woods with his cat…

Because behind every Song is a Mask waiting to be born.

Or destroyed…


If you like Jim Butcher, Kevin Hearne, Steve McHugh, Michael Anderle, Ilona Andrews, Patricia Briggs, Shannon Mayer, or K.F. Breene, you won't be able to put down the highly addictive Nate Temple Series.

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 another amazing book by author Shayne silver in the templeverse series,

What can I say, Shayne Silvers has done it again, what a ride. If you have not started this series, You should. This is a great series, it will have you rolling on the floor laughing one minute, hugging your pillow in tears the next. You will find that you will try and get your family and friends to read it...than have amazing discussion on theroys about the books. You will even recommend it to complete strangers. I am recommending the series because while it could be read on its own if you were to buy legend with out pre reading, the roller coaster of emotions that Shayne takes you on in legend will rip your heart out but you won’t know why. So buy legend and the other 10 or so books sit down strap your self in and come and join as at the Den of Freaks.

Once again Nate faces down myths and legends to save his friends, using more buckle than swash and wringing well-deserved agony from his victims. This is more than Shayne's usual rollercoaster - this is a breath-stopping and heart taking adventure for Shayne's characters, and his readers. Best read in the privacy of your own home.

Reviewed in Australia on 11 December 2018
This book is full of exciting twists and things you just don’t see coming. It is definitely a must read, but you need to have read previous stories in this series to have any hope of making sense of the characters and situations. It is awesome and continues the saga extraordinarily well. I love it, and once I had started it, I couldn’t put it down. Who needs sleep, anyway? Supernatural thriller with intense action and a fantastic set of characters- just extraordinary

I know that Shayne is moving this character forward towards a massive shit kicking fight. And I really enjoyed the story as a whole it left me a little crazy and suffering from an intense desire for both the next book and an opportunity to kick Shayne in the balls while wearing steel capped boots.

In the 11th installment of the Nate Temple Chronicles, LEGEND, Shayne Silvers didn’t pull any punches. Like his main character, Nate, Silvers took the reader on a roller coaster of emotions, squeezing out every bit of our souls. It is a story that teaches Nate and us that often where we think we belong or know every answer to who we are, that as long as we live, our story is never complete.

Searching for answers in his past, Nate discovers more about himself by looking to the present and concentrating on what is ahead. Gripping with emotions of sacrifice, hope, joy; Nates comes to terms with his parents’ lies as well as his distorted childhood. Nates sees his life through the eyes of a child, long influences of two mentors, and the unborn pups of his dear friends.

From the beginning, you knew this book would be different. Shayne’s trademark humor and constant surprises were there but along with it, there was heart and depth that remind us that these characters, have become family and as readers, we have invested in their lives. It has been an incredible ride to see Nate evolve in the character he is today. Despite being a jerk at times, his love for friends and family run deep.

Thankfully, with the light-hearted humor of Grimm and his distaste of rainbows, Silvers gives us a pause to the intensity of the story we are deeply involved in. It is very clever that Silvers give Grimm a voice that makes you wish you had a blood-thirsty unicorn in your life too.

Shayne is a master of fiction and a genius at reaching our souls. It might be called fiction, but we receive something very real inside. This book will remain on my heart for a long time. Just brilliant.

I waited up to download this book bang on midnight! I read it until 2am, fell asleep, and woke up at half 6, determined to have it done before work. I was NOT disappointed. I was wrecked emotionally before I got to chapter 10. I cried! I jumped for joy! I grieved! GoddamnyouIgrieved!!! I was overjoyed and shocked and surprised! Believe me, I felt exhausted by the time I finished this one. I felt like someone had stuxk me in a washing machine, and added an extra 1500 spins to the cycle! Another masterpiece! Mr Silvers, I am in awe. I have spent the last 10 hours in a bubble, oblivious, still mentally trying to process it all. Well done! Oh, and I recommend you read ALL the books in order. Start with Fairy Tale, the short story before Obsidian Son.

I said it since the day it first showed up and I WAS RIGHT!

Ahem.

Book 11 of the Nate Temple series follows the same increasingly compressed pace as some of the more recent Templeverse installments (the Phantom Queen Diaries in particular) and to start, that is really the only thing that in this instance does deal a particular hit to the book, not in lack of quality or cohesion, but rather that it feels like there was a bit of wasted opportunity to cram in just a few more sub-plots and return to Silvers' typical behavior of ramping up all possible stakes even further.

The environment the bulk of the story takes place in, Fae, feels woefully under-utilized in this regard as well, lacking any real engagement with the Faeries whatsoever and dropping the longstanding threat they represent to Nate for the plot at hand. Given some of the events of the story that would be understandable, but given how many other over-arching plot threads Silvers managed to fit in already, it felt like tugging that particular thread and establishing a bit more groundwork for future engagements with the Faeries might have been to the series' benefit.

The series throws a few more twists into the mix, though it could be something of a matter of my longevity with Silvers' writing that I could tell which twists would make a longstanding impact and which ones would be amended in a more timely manner. That is not to say there is no emotional gravitas to the events in question, far from it as the ending once again sets on a precipice of new territory that requires a whole rearrangement of powers that be and who and what is on what side for what reasons. It's another roller coaster in microcosm, and has fittingly high loops and low drops all along the way.

The action holds palatable tension, though a fair amount of the spotlight goes again to internal struggles and mental/emotional juggling acts throughout the story with more than a couple older themes being drawn up again to hash over, some resolved, some not. I don't find myself thinking the story needed more action per se, but again, rather there was potential for a bit more to be worked into the midst of things that just wasn't, in favor of pushing the plot points at hand.

Overall though the book managed to break new ground as much as hit a now almost nostalgic note of escalation mania that Silvers' writing is taking more and more as a central characteristic, even if its not always pushed to the forefront of a particular story each and every time, and as usual the next one is always eagerly anticipated.
