Publisher Description
Destiny Called - They Answered
In the dark recesses of Tyria, elder dragons have awoken from millennial slumbers. First came Primordus, which stirred in the Depths forcing the asura to flee to the surface. Half a century later, Jormag awoke and drove the norn from the frozen climes of the Northern Shiverpeaks, corrupting sons and brothers along the way. A generation later, Zhaitan arose in a cataclysmic event that reshaped a continent and flooded the capital of the human nation of Kryta.
The races of Tyria stand on the edge of destiny. Heroes have battled against dragon minions, only to be corrupted into service of the enemy. Armies have marched on the dragons and been swep aside. The dwarves sacrificed their entire race to defeat a single dragon champion. The age of mortals may soon be over.
This is a time for heroes. While the races of Tyria stand apart, six heroic individuals will come together to fight for their people: Eir, the norn huntress with the soul of an artist; Snaff, the asuran genius, and his ambitious assistant Zojja; Rytlock, the ferocious charr warrior in exile; Caithe, a deadly sylvari with deep secrets; and Logan, the valiant human guardian dealing with divided loyalties. Together they become Destiny’s Edge. Together they answer the call. But will it be enough?

Something missing
I found this book engaging, full of action. Yet at the end, it seemed that there was something missing. At first I thought that it was just the yearning to have the story completed, the dragon vanquished, and whatnot, but it was more than that. The book seemed to me only action, not much else. There seemed to be a lack of emotion in the entire book. What emotion there was, was fleeting, only to be replaced by another action scene.
The story itself is solid. Events led quickly into each other, hardly ever letting things become dull. Each event left me wanting to hear what was next. I suggest this book for a younger audience, looking for action, but not requiring much emotional depth to the story.
