‘All that has gone before is woven into the Song; joy, sorrow; kind acts and cruel acts; creation and destruction. Past, present, and what has yet to come, make themselves known — if you know how to listen.’
For three hundred years, the people of the Five Realms have lived in relative peace, protected by their great leader, the Archon. Yet, far to the north, in the frozen lands beyond the Draegalen Trench, the Ruuk stir, driven by a rising evil, long believed banished from the world. But rumors questioning the Archon’s ability to defend the realms once more, persist.
Elodi, the Lady Harlyn, uneasy in her new role following the death of her father, and Toryn, a farmworker and outsider in his village, must discover a way to fight an enemy that all but defeated their ancestors.
Song of Echoes is the first book in this epic fantasy series.
Song of Echoes by RE Palmer is the start of a battle that started long ago.
Will Elodi and Toryn figure out a way to defeat the enemy that mostly destroyed their ancestors?
Toryn
Toryn is a farmworker on his family’s farm. He feels like an outsider in his own village. When it is time to be chosen to go join Archonian Guard Toryn and Hamar, another farmhand, had to leave so that Toryn’s history doesn’t come to light. Let’s just say that Toryn learned a lot about his family history within a short time in the beginning. Toryn sees firsthand what the Ruuk and the other evil forces look like along with how they fight.
Elodi, Lady Harlyn
Elodi is the Lady of Harlyn and is under a lot of stress since taking over for her father at such a young age of only sixteen. She has had to take over the control of her section of the Five Realms by being their leader and having to deal with being summoned by the Archon whenever he feels like it. Elodi is trying her best to deal with the forces that are threatening her homeland while trying to appease the Archon. The Archon happens to be the leader of the Five Realms and he might not be able to help them once again.
Four Star
Song of Echoes by RE Palmer is the first in this new series by Mr. Palmer. As I was reading the first book it reminded me a bit of the Lord of the Rings series. I think that Mr. Palmer did a great job on creating the species within this world and how they function. My rating for Song of Echoes by RE Palmer is four stars and I’m recommending it to all the epic fantasy readers out there.

About R.E. Palmer
Always a tough one – to write about yourself.
Whilst there’s so many varied things that I’ve done over the years, little would be really that interesting to anyone except close family and friends.
So I’ve broken it down to the sections below so you can pick and choose what you want to find out about me – if at all.
The short story
I was born in Solihull, England and after spending a few years working in London and Gloucester, I now live near Bedford. I’m married with two children (one of each, aged 17 and 22). I’ve played many sports since I could first walk including cricket, football, swimming and running, and obtained a 2nd Dan Karate black belt quite some time ago.
I’m a teacher of The Alexander Technique, an athletics coach, and I love to read and write.
