Elysium’s designs are taking shape, and its sights are now set on a young man with a malignant new gift . . . as this grimdark LitRPG series continues.
Hell was no match for Riven Thane. He crushed every trial and escaped with two demon minions—and his life. At least, so to speak. Riven isn’t so much alive as he is undead. Now, discovering his true self as a pureblooded vampire, he’s feeling a little guilty and a lot hungry in this brand-new world. And what a world it is.
Earth as Riven knew it has merged with Zazir and Elhisterii to form the post-apocalyptic creation of the Elysium known as Panu. Here, errant goblins and vulnerable elves battle it out, ungodly monsters spawn like crazy, suicide zombies run wild, and the streets are strewn with human remains.
On a mission to find his sister, Allie—out there somewhere battling her own demons—Riven quickly learns that every time he kills his bloodlust only increases, bringing him ever closer to becoming a full-blown harbinger of doom. But maybe a vampiric hero is just what this mad new world needs.
Riven is embracing his destiny. He can feel it. His ancient ancestors are calling him home.
This book was a very large let down from the first.!! The writer turned the mc into another whiny LitRpg character always thinking that he can save the world. His sister was more true than he was. Writer why did you copy all the other books? You had an original story going in the first book then in the second you made him into every other character nothing different at all, Why? Now I'm disgusted with your writing will not ever read a book of yours again
Great news series... Beautiful written and world creation is top notch.. Highly recommend JD Glasscock Author of the Series Blood Brothers and the Dream and Embers n Ash and Nocturne
I am loving the series so far. This book does reel it back with the gore and crushing despair, but the first book did literally take place in hell. The utter hopelessness may not be ever present, but, as we largely saw in book 1, there are no truly happy endings in Elysium.
Another well told story of Riven continuing to figure out what it means to be a vampire in the new world and grow in power. Kept me hooked until the end.
2 1/2 stars. Riven is trying so hard to be a vampire hero but will the people in it drive him to be the very demon they think he is by hating him so much? Ok.
