Her power is unmeasured. Her abilities untested. Her destiny inescapable.

Faria Phiraco is a resonator, a manipulator of the elements via rare crystals. It is an extraordinary and secret power which she and her father, the Emperor of Xayall, guard with their lives.

The Dhraka, malicious red-scaled dragons, have discovered an ancient artefact; a mysterious relic from the mythical, aeons-lost city of Nazreal. With their plan already set in motion, they besiege Xayall, pummelling the city to find Faria and rip more of Nazreal's secrets from her.

When her father goes missing, Faria has to rely on her own strength to brave the world that attacks her at every turn. Friends and guardians rally by her to help save her father and reveal the mysteries of the ruined city, while the dark legacy of an ancient cataclysm wraps its claws around her fate... and her past. She soon realises that this is not the beginning, nor anywhere near the end. A titanic war spanning thousands of years unfolds around her, one that could yet cost the lives of everyone on Eeres.

Legacy is character-driven epic fantasy action forged in an exciting and intricate plot that reaches deep into the Resonance world's history.

5.0 out of 5 stars There will only be one Resonance Tetralogy!

In the world of Eeres, sovereign kingdoms dot the two largest continents, but there used to only be one large sovereign: Nazrael, a city where the impossible was possible through resonance crystals that grant magical power, before it disappeared during an ancient apocalypse.

Millennia later, the war-hungry Dhrakan Empire has found an artifact of the ancient city, and brutally invaded their neighboring sovereign Xayall. Barely escaping with her life & her father’s resonance staff, the kingdom’s Empress-to-be Faria must find her father and alert the world of what the Dhrakans have done. Joining her on this dangerous journey are a playfully optimistic raccoon with cyborg enhancements and amnesia, a renegade wolf with a temper and his companion, a she-wolf who used to be a foreign soldier.

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Jackson’s unique fantasy world succeeds in standing out compared to other furry-themed novels with medieval settings, taking influence from great works like Tolkien, RWBY, anime-I’d be shocked if Miyazaki or his film Castle in the Sky didn’t play inspiration in writing-yet has the charming characters to make it one of a kind. Unlike other fictional realms of magic & fantasy creatures that tend to blend, copy & mirror each other, there can only be one Eeres.

All of the characters are likable, and each have their own distinct personality. ⁠Faria is a determined character I enjoyed reading as she carefully juggled her lineage role as the surviving Empress of a kingdom with her ambitions to be more than a figurehead in the battlefield, as well as find her lost father amid all this turmoil for an ancient city.

All of the side characters are fun and have great interactions, but there’s one I swear is in his town separate story: Tierenan, the cyborg raccoon I mentioned. I love this character! He’s polite and kind and compassionate to others despite his dark past, but also like a child on a sugar rush; he’s boisterous, he’s loud, he’s eccentric, he’s super-curious, energetic & odd. Tierenan is a huge highlight of this novel.

The writing in “Legacy” is great too! It’s dynamic and strategic at the same time, giving way for great action scenes that make use of what resonance crystals can do. Sure the narrative can be overly detailed at times, but you feel the weight and energy the characters feel when they’re in a scene either fighting enemies or trying to escape a threat. By the end of the book you feel like you need to take a nap.

Overall, “Legacy” is a great start to a book series with promise. The characters are simple yet excellently complex, the work enriched with its own history & the writing fluid yet dynamic. Like I said before, there will only be one Resonance Tetralogy, and I cannot wait to read the next novel!

4.0 out of 5 stars An exciting, imaginative, and elegantly-written read.
Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2021

This one's a fun fantasy adventure with a Redwall-meets-anime vibe, worth a read for the gorgeous descriptions and detailed worldbuilding alone. (The cover is great, too - and why I picked up the book in the first place, but don't let it fool you into thinking it's just another furry book. It's better than that.) The characters are quite fun as well, and more than once as I read their adventures, I felt like a schoolkid reading a new favorite book for the first time.

My only complaint is that, toward the end, the conflict becomes disproportionately epic for a first in series - the main characters suddenly go from running and hiding from the bad guys to a climax so dramatic that it reads like the climax of a *series* rather than a first book. But at the same time, it does have me curious to see where book two will pick up after an ending that crazy.

Overall, an exciting, imaginative, and elegantly-written read, recommended especially for fans of talking/anthro animal stories.

I loved the characters, the original fantasy world, and the mysterious themes our main characters have to explore, not to mention the awesome, descriptive action that takes place, and the magic that connects Faria to everyone else. Definitely a must-have for fantasy lovers, and those who just want to read a darn good, fun, adventurous epic. 10/10.

5.0 out of 5 stars Foxes and Steampunk and Magic, Oh My.

I've read longer books. I've seen some that cost ten or even over twenty dollars--probably to cover the cost of generating all the hype surrounding them.

The majority of said books don't have a fraction of the heart and imagination that Legacy does.

Do you like displays of powerful elemental magic and big battles? Legacy has them. Into wild technology like flying ships and metallic limbs? This book delivers. Do you pine for the days when characters weren't introduced simply to be killed off by their sadistic author, and you could actually root for them? Well, look no further, friend. Legacy performs genre alchemy, combining fantasy, steampunk, action, adventure and more into a story worthy of being made into an anime.

Also, there's a pangolin. (If you have no idea what a pangolin is, Google it immediately to brighten the dark, empty existence you've been leading up to this point.)

While exhaustive details on the characters and world aren't given, there are enough to give the reader a feeling for the places and who everyone is. I could sense each character had a past, even if only a hint or two was revealed, keeping them from being mere cut-outs. Kyru and Aeryn in particular were near and dear to me, and I found Osiris the gryphon compelling. Faria, while plagued by doubts and at times naive like most protagonists, did not spend the whole time whining and making me wish the Dhrakans would just eat her. I found myself sympathizing with her during her trials instead, and silently cheered her on. Even Tierenan wound up being more than simply the comedy relief character. I also commend the main villains, Fulkore, Vionaika, and Raikali, for their heartless efforts.

The writing itself is smooth and easy to follow, with a good balance of description and dialogue. My attention never wandered, no chapter dragging or acting as mere filler. Fun at times, tense at others, well-paced, and I had emotional investment in what was going on. Exactly how a story should be, in other words.

My sole complaint is that the second book isn't yet out. What will Faria and her friends do now? What about that mysterious meeting in the alley? How is Xayall doing? Dhraka? How will the Senate--the world of Eeres--react after the events of Legacy? I want to know, Mr. Jackson, and expect good things from you in the near future.
