With the fate of their homeland still in jeopardy, siblings Ella and Miro must face the Primate’s evil as he discovers a new technique: a method to extract essence from human blood.

The Primate has been temporarily defeated, but his home was once inhabited by the Evermen, and their ancient secrets still remain. As the mysterious Evrin sets out to destroy everything he can, the Primate stumbles upon an ancient book that tells of a hidden relic with unfathomable power—and he will stop at nothing to find it.

Realizing the solution to defeating the Primate and saving the Empire is tied to the hidden relic, Ella, Miro, Killian, and the desert prince Ilathor must race to reach the relic before the Primate…or suffer disastrous consequences.

Published in 2014, the highly acclaimed Evermen Saga is a worldwide bestseller.

Revised edition: This edition of The Hidden Relic includes editorial revisions.

About the Author

James Maxwell grew up in the scenic Bay of Islands, New Zealand, and was educated in Australia. Devouring fantasy and science-fiction classics from an early age, his love for books translated to a passion for writing, which he began at the age of eleven.

Inspired by the natural beauty around him but also by a strong interest in history, he decided in his twenties to see the world. He relocated to London and then to Thailand, Mexico, Austria, and Malta, developing a lifelong obsession with travel. It was while living in Thailand that he seriously took up writing again, producing his first full-length novel, Enchantress, the first of four titles in his internationally bestselling Evermen Saga.

When he isn't writing or traveling, James enjoys sailing, snowboarding, classical guitar, and French cooking.

Empathy fatigue

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 June 2018

Verified Purchase

I think a good epic fantasy is like an ouroboros, there's a constant cycle of danger and renewal. The first book in this series I gave 5 stars, it had everything a traditional epic fantasy needs. This book is more of a crazy dog trying to bite its own tail.
I developed empathy fatigue. I no longer gave a toss what happened, the cycles of challenge and victory were clumsy. Killian's story in particular. This apathy hit me right before the final battle and even the hook for the next installment wasn't enough to make me want to carry on. There were also "lore issues" to do with the Akari as they had a seemingly inconsistent method of controlling their "products" (trying to avoid giving a spoiler!).
If you've tried the Wheel of Time series, you'll get where I'm coming from. You can have too much of a journeying, hitting problems kind of story. I think it's missing intrigue. There's just nothing to keep me interested.

Lost for words

I was at the edge I my bed, chair, still and floor, wherever I was sitting. So eager to find out what happen next. I absolutely loved the way so the main characters collaborated in order to bring an end to the war. Amazing, I loved the love matches, I was rooting for the Prince and Ella, but I loved the gentleness of Killian. I hope that he survived. James your imagination is priceless.😎😇

The book is good but no L of the Rs. It was never intended to be overly complex, but the lead characters are strong but flawed, tough but emotional. The role of women in the book is equal to that of men and they aren’t portrayed as weak victims thank goodness. First two books are a good read but I doubt that I will read the next two, not yet anyway.

Very good book, appealing story

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 September 2014

Although some people won't agree, I believe that if a book is part of a series then you need to read all the books to understand it. That's how I feel you know when you have a good story. This book is the second in the series and I find with a lot of second or sometimes even third books the authors tend to explain too much of what we already learnt it the book before and in such an obvious way. With this book I don't think I had any of that and if there was then it was hidden well or I don't remember (I am in the middle of the third book so pardon my memory if I am wrong). I also liked that any explanation was cut up into short chunks. I don't read a lot of books like this one (I'm a sucker for a good romcom) but there are an odd few that I have loved. I also like that there is a map at the beginning as I'm one of those readers that like to have a good discription to allow them to imagine the scene and also how far the characters have travelled and how far they are from the people they love.

The story is strong and imaginative with enough twists and turns. The story travels well with a good pace and jumps between character cleanly so that the story flows better. If a character hints something or something happens that changes another characters situation, then we need a little suspense but we don't want to wait ten or more pages to get to it.

Good book well worth the money and time. My college tutor won't be happy though as I have been procrastinating instead of doing coursework!

Good story with strong characters, magic and science combined, underlying love stories making this the true stuff of fantasy - brilliant.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 August 2014

This second book in the series I found as entertaining and exciting as the first. Yes of course one's grip on reality must be suspended that is obvious when reading novels of this kind. There may be a reason why many of us are enchanted by Harry Potter, Games of Thrones and these Evermen stories. In a world filled with hate and vengeance maybe the thought of magic, good magic and the fact that good always wins sustains our optimism in a better future. I want a future where my children and grandchildren can live in peace. Let's hope Isis don't make it through the portal!

Going downhill

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 December 2016

Verified Purchase

There is still something I like about the authors writing but the word that comes to mind about the plot is trite. will I buy the next one I'm not sure it certainly won't be the next book I read. Compared to modern fantasy noir or older fantasies such as the drawing of the dark this book lacks depth. It even fails compared to lighter fantasies such as the wizard and the walrus. Maybe I'll read the reviews of book three and see how they are I haven't written off Mr Maxwell yet.

Another good read!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 February 2013

I really enjoyed reading this second book! It held a good pace and definitely kept me interested.

The only smallest of niggles were that the location of the relic was guessable from relatively early on.. - and then there was a little bit at the end that didn't seem consistent/make sense. I don't think is in any way a spoiler, though I'm thinking you'll probably work what I'm talking about. Really enjoyed the other 99.5% of the book though!

Not quite sure how the next book will go .. but considering I've enjoyed the last two, like others, I'll be keeping an eye out.
