For Boruin, the past is simply dark. There is a ribbon of runes that turns across his body. He cannot read them, but they hold strange magics, too dangerous to use unknown. There is nothing in his mind before waking on the Nefazo Trade Highway thirty years past.The woman standing above him on the deserted road offers her own mysteries. Wraethe is moon-driven, awake under Diun’s shine and dead to the world during the day. Her temper and lust for blood often places her near the edge of chaos and mindless rage. Though a killer by trade, there is still heat in Wraethe's heart, no matter how deeply hidden.A Mana’Olai assassin and short grave robber complete the small band that works across the jungle borders of Nefazo. Sometime thieves, bodyguards, strong-arms, diplomats, the crew honors what contracts pay. Boruin’s band has done well–until they meet the child.The acquisition of the boy has turned Boruin back to his long unanswered questions. The quiet boy’s eyes are sharp, seeing the shifting tattoos where others see nothing. His touch turns them down Boruin’s arms and brings the spells to life. Where is this boy from? Who contracted Boruin to bring him out of the deep jungle? Why does he seem to know so much about that which is hidden?All other obligations are disregarded as Boruin turns back to his past. Contracts are broken, friendships are pulled apart, and lives are lost to discover the man that was once unmade.
The Unmade Man is a tale of Baeg Tobar.

A real page turner. Original creatures and story line. Loved the main characters and plot development. Overall, an engaging novel and great first publication!
As an avid reader, I am always looking for a unique and engaging story that I can lose myself in. This is one of those stories. The author does an amazing job with character development and creating unique and distinctive personalities for each one. (I particularly enjoy the character Wraethe, who is unlike any character I have had the pleasure of encountering in a fantasy storyline.) The plot development is quick and deliberate- each scene fantastically described in a way that leaves the reader thirsting for the next event. This is a great first publication and a must read to any reader!
Unique characters, mind-blowing imagery.....a wandering adventure/redemption tale to rival The Odyssey...The Unmade Man was quite possibly written by a madman. There is much creative material in this book that could be developed into a series, or even spin-off series' focusing on characters other than our sad hero, Boruin. As it is, this story is richly imagined and engaging. Definitely worth a read if you enjoy the fantasy genre. I predict great things for this madman author.
Thirty years ago Boruin woke up on the Nefazo Highway with a mysterious woman standing above him. They knew the names of each other, but nothing else. Boruin has a long line of magical runes which wraps up, down, and around his body. He has no idea what they mean or how they got there. Few can even see them displayed on his skin, much like a tattoo gone wild.
Wraethe is a dark huntress of unknown origin. By day her body is as mist and her mind sleeps unless some outside event jars it awake. At night she is a fierce predator with a lust for blood. Whenever she fights, Wraethe's mind teeters on the edge of chaos. There is always the possible danger of her war-rage becoming out of control. These thirty years together, Boruin has guarded Wraethe by day. She has guarded him by night.
Two others have joined their band. Toaaho is a killer by trade. Pile is a short grave robber. The four accepts contracts for a variety of tasks stealing, escorts, bodyguards, and the like. This time the contract is to retrieve a young boy from a far away valley and escort him to another location. Though the boy is mute, there is little normal about him. The boy cannot only see Boruin's runes, but also knows how to use them when need be. The group soon finds themselves betrayed and on the run from more than simply humans.
**** FOUR STARS! No matter what type of Fantasy you enjoy, this story seems to have it. The Fae, giants, flying serpents (Don't you dare call him a dragon!), sorcery, stone-like warriors, mercenaries, and so much more. This is a stand-alone tale, meaning the main plot line is completed in this one story; however, a minor subplot or two may be left for potential future adventures. The story moves at a brisk pace with more than a few sections that seem to dash in a mad sprint. Surprises pop-up at unexpected moments and plot twists kept me guessing. Author Daniel Tyler Gooden is one to keep your eye on! ****
Reviewed by Detra Fitch of Huntress Reviews.
Frequently, fantasy tales fit within certain predictable guidelines. The types of characters one encounters in the story fit neatly into the same categories that characters from the last fantasy book one read would fit into. This one, however, is fresh and new.
The tale was well-told, it had plot-twists I never saw coming, and the characters were very real, interesting individuals. I enjoyed every page.
Granted, there were a few plot points that I felt could have been explained in better detail, but all in all this was a very well-written book with good continuity from cover to cover. It is worth reading, and I will be looking forward to seeing more work from this author in this fantasy world.
