Temple of Arrival is the second book in the exciting Empowered Ones fantasy series. If you like action, sprawling battlefields, and power enhanced heroes, then you'll love this series.-Reviews for Temple of Arrival-'The Temple of Arrival is a fantastic sequel to The First Fear. From the opening chapter, we're thrown right back into the action as Elian and the Liberators, along with their Gifted allies, battle the forces of the Supreme.'Just like the first book, the action sequences were gripping as were the plot twists.
We learned a lot more about the origins of the Power which really set the scene for the dramatic closing chapters.''If you're a fan of well written fantasy with interesting characters and settings, then check both of these books out.''A very strong sequel to the first novel which grips the reader from the outset. Usually the second book in a series is weaker than the first - however I would go as far as to say that this one is even better than the first novel.''Matthew's ability to world-build is amazing and you can see all of the different literary and fantasy elements in this book - coupled with his capacity to shock the reader and provide plot twists at every turn.''Give the book a read!'
