To do list: Cow-tip the Minotaur. Cure a reptile dysfunction.My name is Nate Temple, and I’m secretly a wizard. I ride a foul-mouthed unicorn, I drink with Achilles, and I’m pals with the Four Horsemen. I’ve even cow-tipped the Minotaur. I understand the theory of following the rules…I’m just not very good at the application.Because rules were meant to be broken.Especially when I find out a … to be broken.
Especially when I find out a monster just murdered my parents. Now all I can hear is the sweet, soothing song of vengeance in my ears, playing on repeat.
But when shifter dragons come to town, I’m forced to step away from hunting down the scumbag murderer. Because I know the cure for a reptile dysfunction, and the dragons aren’t going to like it.
This fight soon opens up Pandora’s Box, and suddenly every flavor of supernatural thug is after me. The only way out of it—to save my city—is to murder my best friend.
I didn’t want, ask for, or start any of this. But I will finish it. It’s time I show St. Louis that magic is very, very real. And that an angry wizard is truly something to see—at least once in your life.
You know, right before he puts you and everyone you’ve ever met in the grave…

Decided to take advantage of kindle unlimited. Was intrigued by this book so thought I’d give it a try. Well I couldn’t stop reading the book and quickly went through the entire series.
Highly recommend all of Shayne Silvers books. Definitely worth your time.
I stumbled into this series and now have added it the otherI anxiously waiting for such as Dresden files, Mercy Thompson,,Jane Yellowrock and Incryptid.
I would recommend ALL of Shayne’s books. This series (Nate Temple) and his Callie Penrose spin-off series are some 9f my favorite books…ever. I know that if I’m having a bad day that Shayne is going to jerk me right out of it with his humor and just his overall outrageousness and awesomeness! Obsidian Son sets off the shenanigans that seem to follow Nate and his Den of Freaks around like a puppy….a very deranged and slightly rabid puppy. So, sit down, shut the world out, and get ready for a fantastic rollercoaster ride of magic and mayhem.
Aan amazing rollercoaster of a read
I was never into fantasy books, I read a review on this and it intrigued me enough to read it.
I have bought ever book in the temple verse series. Outstanding books, dark and Humerous and lots a serctets.
Fun new twist! Who would think to sneak up on The Minotaur for cow tipping? Nate! And when karma gets him back, the hits just keep coming. Great start to the Templeverse world. The writing is fantastic, and the story draws you in.
The one that started it all.
This book started me on the adventures of Nate Temple and enraptured me to the “Templeverse” unlike any series prior. I have been hooked on the author’s books for more than 3 years and shockingly his stories just keep getting better, not to mention he drops more books in a year than most authors do in a career. Hop on board for one wild, fun and action packed ride that gives you great characters, story, setting and a non-stop want for MORE!
Come closer, come, come closer! Too close. A little too close. I can see that you are interested in the exceptionally mind-blowing. Consider this. Obsidian Son, book #1 in the Nate Temple series, by Shayne Silvers.
If you’re like me, you’ll spend hours scouring Amazon looking for a good book to read. That’s how I found Shayne, and my life hasn’t been the same since. After reading Obsidian Son, I found a dark, twisted place on Facebook they call the Den of Freaks, and I found many, many more books featuring this Nate Temple, who at first I expected to be a carbon copy Bruce Wayne, with magic, but turned out to be so, so much more.
These are some of the best books I’ve read. I tell everyone I know to read them, because they keep dragging me in, over and over. The characters are flawed, they get angry, they screw up, they get people hurt. They aren’t perfect. The stories are fantastic, but written in a way that makes you long for them to be reality. Let’s face it, if you’ve read this far, you’re hooked already. Give Obsidian Son a read, you will not regret it.
Hilarious! Fun! Exciting! Addictive!!
I started with this book and now I am addicted. You will be introduced to great characters, an amazing storyline and so much more. Be ready to lose sleep as you pick up this book and the ones to follow.
This book is awesome. I recommend the Temple verse to Just about everyone I know. It has action, adventure, nerd jokes (who doesn’t love a harry potter reference), and so much more. In the first chapter the main character cow tips the Minotaur and it just gets better from there.
Obsidian son is truly a unique take on freaks and other fantasy creatures. The main character Nate temple is a flawed hero. He is not a perfect person who tries to tell other people they need to live perfect lives. The way Shane weaves in information and foreshadowing is amazing. It got me hooked on the #TempleVerse.
If you are looking for a series that keeps you coming back for more you meed to get start today with the Nate Temple series, you will not be sorry!
I would say READ THEM ALL but I recommend you start here.
I recommend all of Shayne Silvers books. He does an amazing job of weaving together a world that’s immersive and entertaining.
I recommend all of Shayne Silvers books but Obsidian Son is where to start.
This is the start of a series that will take you through SOO many twists and turns, and always leave you wanting more!!
Loved this book, it has started me on a journey I hope never ends!!
Amazing book. Read the first chapter, if you don’t like it call me a liar.
