The Barrows (The Gryphonpike Chronicles) Kindle Edition

by Annie Bellet (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars 375 ratings
See all formats and editions
The mute elven archer known only as Killer. Azyrin, a half Winter-orc shaman and his human swordswoman bride, Makha. Drake, the charming, swashbuckling rogue. The fireball-slinging pixie-goblin, Rahiel, and her mini-unicorn, Bill. These are the Gryphonpike Companions.

This omnibus collects the first four novellas in the Gryphonpike Chronicles.


Witch Hunt:
Arriving in Strongwater Barrow, the Companions find the town riddled with plague and death. Ending the curse and saving the survivors means going into the swamps where monsters lurk and witches wait. Sounds like exactly their kind of day.

Twice Drowned Dragon:
On route to the town of Coldragon, the Companions find a peaceful monastery threatened by necromantic evil and get a chance to answer an important question: How many times can you kill a dragon?

A Stone's Throw:
A magical scabbard and a hundred year old story send the companions down into the caverns beneath the Barrowlands. Surviving the caverns and finding the legendary rapier will test Killer's friendship with the roguish Drake. Far more than half-truths and forgotten stories lurk in the dark beneath their feet.

Dead of Knight:
As the Companions travel across the Barrows to join up with the High Road again, a terrible and unnatural earthquake unleashes an ancient evil on the quiet town of Fallbarrow. An undead army gathers and hellspawn await to destroy Killer and all she now holds dear. Can the cleverness, magics, battle-fury, and determination of the Gryphonpike Companions hope to stand against the Saliidruin and the powerful Death Knight leading them?

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent pleasue

There are a lot of good writers out there and sometime you get lucky and bump into one that fulfill all your expectations. Annie Bellet is one of them and I am happy to join her followers. Few authors have the ability to express a lot, in terms of action, feelings and descriptions that allow the reader a full picture with minimum words. When I find one I immediately buy all their books and indulge myself In the pleasure of a well written story. Anyone who shares my view will find AB books well worth the time. Well done Annie Bellet. I look forward to more hours of pleasure.

4.0 out of 5 stars An interesting and absorbing series of adventures
Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2020

I got into these stories and chomped them down like cookies.... Short and sweet, complex enough to be interesting, which offsets the one-dimensional action. The characters develop along the way, and there are some surprises. The price is right for the Barrows collection, which I wish I had seen before I bought all of the stories individually!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fine reading, indeed.
Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2015

Written in the form and voice of a fairytale, the four stories in The Barrows follow an intrepid band of mismatched adventurers through a land filled with monsters and drama. Little more than curiosities to start, they accumulate character through their interactions with said monsters. The writing is crisp with a fine rhythm of interwoven repetition. This reader found the experience quite pleasant and engaging, a credible spot of fantasy. Ms. Bellet came to my attention with her Twenty Sided Sorceress series,These novellas, while less intense, are quite satisfying. Highly recommended genre escapades.

A collection of short stories connected together about an group of adventures. A very diverse and interesting group as it turns out. The stories are repeated from a mute elf and are very entertaining. Will be looking for more books about the group

I will be looking for more of these stories they are so much fun. I would like more info on what happened to the elf that's she's in her condition but it doesn't hurt the stories not having it. The stories themselves are her earning her voice back as well as learning lessons she didn't know she needed and are very fun.

Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2015

While I did enjoy these books, I feel that 2.99 for 40 pages is way overpriced, the 3.99 for the collection of four is much more reasonable, that said they are a good read with engaging characters and I will read more, but only from a library again the price is too much for such short stories.

A very Good read. The characters are nicely developed and well thought out. The action is well paced with a few surprises. The pace is good and I was never left bored or waiting for the next thing to occur. If the series continue, I will continue to read.

I honestly didn't know I would like this collection so much. It's a high fantasy setting but the story is about the day to day adventures of a small group. It's nostalgic and fresh and I loved it.

A speedy read, the stories pulling you breathlessly along. An interesting take on traditional characters and situations, keeping the tension going right up to the satisfying denouements. More please.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sehr gute Fantasyabenteuergeschichten
Reviewed in Germany on August 25, 2014
Verified Purchase
The Barrows sind 4, leider nur kurze, Geschichten über die aufgrund eines Fluchs stummen Killer, einer Elfenbogenschützin und einer Gruppe von sehr verschiedenen Abenteurern. Unter ihnen ein rosa Minieinhorn, eine Pixi-Goblin Zauberin in Prinzessinnenkleidung, ein Halborc-Shamane, eine menschlichen Kriegerin und ein rapierschwingender Frauenschwarm. Die Abenteuer gab es zwar alle schon mal irgendwo, aber die Geschichten sind sehr gut geschrieben und nie langweilig. Ich freue mich auf das nächste Abenteuer und hoffe, dass es auch ein Happyend für Killer gibt.

Same as my other problem (i.e. review of The Healers of Meligna set). I have now read books 1-5 of this series, but the rest of them aren't available on Amazon.com for downloading to my Kindle. Very, very bad service as far as I am concerned.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but not great.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 2, 2017

Yes I enjoyed these tales, but I'm only awarding four stars because they remind me of the log of an RPG campaign rather than a true novel.
As such I find them well told, but simply lacking that extra zing worthy of the fifth star.
