The book describes the nation of Voulhire, its many cities and their unique histories, as well as the connections between them. Here in this country, magic was accepted. It was also dreaded because of its mistreatment by a reputable former general who established himself as the Lord of Hillport, one of the cities. Voulhire's capital, Soulhire, was home to the majority of its aristocratic populace. There was the realm of the prince, where people only know how to survive, the tranquil, serene city, the holy city where priests and monks live, and the most industrialized metropolis. They are unable to recall what a pleasant and content existence was like. As a result, the majority of their population tries to escape to Voulhire. Galen Bray, the protagonist, will be introduced to readers. Galen has managed to escape his war-torn home and has come to the kingdom of Voulhire in search of better pastures. However, upon arriving in this vast realm, some unpleasant circumstances start to surface out of envy and jealously, obstructing Galen's path toward his objective.

The novel is a historical tale with supernatural elements and a conflict. The book also showed how much love and affection there is among people, as demonstrated by the ways in which Lord Meldorath treated the people and the Aldermans treated the people, respectively.
The characters' many points of view were one aspect of the work that I found enjoyable. It was good since it provided me with additional understanding of the personalities, actions, and feelings of some of the book's characters—even the antagonists. It also struck me as very amazing that dance, which is perceived as graceful, lovely, and vivacious, could be utilized to guide and manage magic.

I give the author his flowers for the vivid imagery in this novel. My mind was carried away by his descriptions, giving me the impression that I was actually there when the events in the novel happened. Every book I read has dialogue, so I'm always checking to see whether it makes sense, and this one didn't let me down. An excellent addition to the book was the glossary, which educates readers on unfamiliar terms. I don't even have the slightest distaste for anything in this book.

This work was also thoroughly edited; I found no typographical or grammatical problems. I so give We are Voulhire: A New Arrival under Great Skies a rating of five out of five stars. I suggest this book to readers of fantasy and mystery; this would sit down well with them.
