Retribution

by S.J. Wolff

~The Dagger of Aita: Retribution~

Throughout history we have been here. Born of the union between the Watchers and the Daughters of Men, our human hearts pump the blood of Angels through our veins. Yet, we are neither human nor Angel. We are the Alimentatori, descendants of the divine, and this is just the beginning…

In my two-hundred and sixty three years I have witnessed much, yet nothing could have prepared me for the devastating murder of my brother, Julian. While he lies in stasis awaiting The Release, his killer roams the Lazio region of Italy free to seek other victims. But, all is not right behind the veil of this ancient landscape. Its beauty hides a world of ancient secrets, hidden agendas and political intrigues. In order to extract my vengeance, I must first play a dangerous game according to another’s rules. Playing by the rules has never been my forte; toppling a game-board or two would suit me just fine! Regardless of the dangers that lie ahead, Retribution will be mine. My name is Jacen Trudeau of the House of Samsaveel and I’m about to open Pandora’s Box.

History meets fiction meets fantasy meets revenge!, July 23, 2013
By Matt Reardon - This review is from: Retribution (The Dagger of Aita) (Kindle Edition)

Great read!

Weaving some interesting historical twists into a compelling backstory, Dagger of Aita tells the tale of one brother's hunt for revenge as he seeks out his older brother's killer. Jace, the main character, is brash, impatient and focused on what he wants, and that is to avenge his brother. Of course it's not that simple, so there are plenty of twists and turns as he tries to figure out what he thinks is going on.

Can't wait for the next book, to see how this turns out in the end.

Nice blend of contemporary setting with urban fantasy elements. The main character, Jace, sets out on a path of revenge for his recently murdered brother, but nothing he finds is what he is expecting. Its pretty much like watching a train wreck....you know Jace is about to crash, burn, tick people off, offend, annoy or otherwise screw something up, but you can't not watch. Some interesting twists and turns in the story, but I won't talk about those, so as not to spoil them.
