Long ago, when the earth was young. . . Four ancient beings created man to be the bastion of the earth and its creatures. But when The Great Tyrant came and chased The Ancients away, the world was transformed into a place of fear and isolation. Over time humans lost the connection they had with a world they had been created to protect. Now, deep in the forests that surround Gray Mountain, two bears find a small child that is abandoned and left for dead. They name him Evercloud, and raise him as a member of their kingdom. Teaching him the secrets of the elders, they tell him of the ancient beings that created man and the rumors of their return. Evercloud must now go on a quest to return The Ancients to power. However, in another corner of the land, a man known only as The Messenger travels the land under a white hood, on a mission to prevent the return of The Ancients. We follow the paths each of these men take until their stories collide in an epic battle of good versus evil.

When picking free books you never know quite what you are going to get, self published books can have some real problems...poor editing, grammatical errors etc. Reading an indie book can either be a gross disappointment or a wonderful adventure. Everflame turned out to be a wonderful adventure, think Christopher Paolini meets C.S. Lewis.Usually, epic fantasy depicts great good battling great evil against almost insurmountable odds, but that isn't strictly the case with Everflame. In the beginning battle lines seem clear, but as the book progresses you realize that there is no clear cut good or evil; each "side" is painted in shades of grey and readers are left wondering just who to root for.
Characters are very well developed, Peters gives each a depth that is reflective of the human condition. For example, Eveneye displays great courage and conviction but later suffers from self-doubt and weakness. There is a strong message of personal responsibility through out, but at the same time Peters drives home the fact that no man is an island...we need support from those who love us to become all we have the potential to be.
To qualify why I only gave 4 stars instead of 5, I do not appreciate abrupt cliffhanger endings. I loved this book and would have purchased the second in the series without the teaser ending. I personally prefer a bit more resolution at the end of an installment of a series. I do have to note that Peters handled the ending of Everflame 2: The Burning Man in a much more satisfactory manner.
For me, the best measure of a book is how much I miss the characters after finishing and after finishing the second book in this series I miss them all. The 3rd book isn't even available but I feel as if I am missing something...like life is going on in their world but I am not fortunate enough to travel with my friends. I highly recommend Everflame and the follow up book, Everflame 2.

Everflame Dylan Lee Peters 9781312234727 Books Reviews
This book started off great a vividly realized fantasy world in which bears have their own civilization, which they keep (along with their ability to speak) hidden from humans. The protagonist is an abandoned human child who was adopted by the bears and raised as one of their own. Now he is drawn into a quest to try to help the four old gods reclaim the Earth from the tyrant that imprisoned them.
But as the story went on, I became less enamored. It's a story that depends heavily on deus ex machina to keep going. The story started to read like old-fashioned pulp fiction, with the characters just going improbably from episode to episode.
I don't regret the time I spent reading it, but I'm not moving on to the rest of the series.
Evercloud was abandoned by men, and raised by bears, with the hopes of bridging the gulf between the two races. But fate has far more in store for the boy, and the bears he calls friends and family.
This book started with the simple tale of an unwanted child raised by unlikely parents, but turned into a page turned that kept me wanting more.
The culture and history of the bear nation is amazingly detailed, with beliefs and needs that are very believable. And the characters that come out of that worldbuilding made me want to see their world with my own eyes.
And then the story went beyond the boundaries of the bears, and became some th ibg truly amazing.
Bring on the second book...
If you enjoy a really good fantasy book, then this book should be on your reading list. In the very beginning I had mixed feelings about the whole bear kingdom. I mean, bears sitting at a round table? However, after 2 or 3 chapters I just didn’t mind bears being bears, I just thought of them as people. I really got into the book when Edgar was introduced. His character is developed amazingly and the story itself was very thoughtful. It had a lot of drama into it and the appearance of “Holy” was right on track. I was already thinking that Edgar would turn into an antagonist, though in the beginning I thought that he would be another protagonist like Evercloud and help him in the quest.
I really enjoyed reading about the world that Dylan Peters conjured. It is interesting, fascinating and at the same time it really resembles our own world, especially the part about Edgar. I was seeing our own world, a bit covered, but nevertheless it was the same world that we live in. the concept of Holy and Great Tyrant is very interesting. And every time I read about it, I had this feeling that the author wanted to tell us, that sometimes what we believe in, might not be the truth; and that the winners do really write the history, whether they are good or evil.
All characters are very well developed and each of them has a unique feel about them. I liked Evercloud as a character and as a person. Sometimes it felt as if he was too unreal. I mean, sometimes he was too good. He didn’t give off the human vibe. It was as if he wasn’t tainted. But then again bears not humans raised him, surely, he wouldn’t know of human bad traits. However, he’s a great character and quite refreshing. Though it cracked me up when Evercloud fell in love with Iolana at first sight. The book unravels a lot, but at the same time even more secrets come to life. And at the ending of the first book, you just wished you had the next book right now, so you could dive into it right now. The intrigue with Ancients and the Great Tyrant is still high and you just want to know faster what is going to happen next.
Did I perk your interest? I hope I did, because this book is amazing with its own myths, history and a lot of adventures. In the beginning it might be hard to get the whole bear thing going into the mind, but the more you read the more interesting it becomes. I hope you’ll be adding this book to your reading list right now and getting your copy now! Enjoy it to its fullest
