We are Voulhire: A New Arrival under Great Skies by Matthew Tysz is a captivating fantasy novel that lays the foundation for an immersive series. The story follows Galen, an unlikely heir, who discovers a path to prosperity in the enchanting land of Voulhire. As the tale unfolds, we witness Galen's journey from the aftermath of war to a brighter future, all thanks to an unexpected inheritance from his secretive uncle.

Beneath the surface of Voulhire's opulence, a sinister narrative takes shape. King Wilhelm, the mysterious ruler, holds the malevolent sorcerer Melodorath captive, a truth concealed from the inhabitants of Hillport. The town, basking in the belief that the threat has been vanquished, remains blissfully ignorant of the lurking shadows. Adding an unexpected twist, King Wilhelm appoints the unconventional Judge Eldus Alderman as Hillport's new lord, entrusting him with the formidable task of healing the town and catalyzing economic revival. Galen, initially immersed in the lavish lifestyle his inheritance affords, unwittingly becomes entangled in a complex tapestry of intrigue. The lines between savior and villain blur, revealing the true nature of his inheritance in unpredictable ways. The narrative skillfully weaves together elements of adventure and fantasy, promising an exciting series ahead.

Galen emerges as a character filled with hope and desire for goodness, adding a relatable and human touch to the fantastical narrative. The author's attention to detail and meticulous editing shine through, ensuring a seamless reading experience without any discernible errors. I wholeheartedly recommend We are Voulhire to fantasy enthusiasts, awarding it a perfect 5 out of 5 stars. The absence of negative aspects, coupled with an error-free exceptional editing, elevates this novel to a must-read status for fans of the genre.

What sets this novel apart is the author's ability to articulate the theory of the magical world and the physical world in simple yet profound terms. Some aspects of the narrative resonate with contemporary societal issues, adding layers of depth to the fantastical realm. The inclusion of a map at the beginning enhances the reader's experience, providing a clear visual guide to the land and facilitating an immersive understanding of the characters' journeys.
