Soulstone Chronicles #7
The Disposition of Ashes: Volume One
Ufrid Tyrunath, the heir apparent to the throne of Ulmenir, has been a hero, a leader, and a traitor. He’s colluded with the Shadow Master, murdered his father, and raped his brother’s wife. In retribution, he’s been forced into slavery to an ancient half-elf female, grandmother of the woman he can never have. How can life get any worse? Oh, it can get much worse, if one has crossed the line of social decency and taken a certain renegade monk for a lover. Slavery will seem an easy burden by the time Ufrid learns the truth of former Abbot Herfod, revered living saint of the Turamen Order. And the promise of death will be but a small price to pay for having earned the secret. (Second Edition. Content Adult fiction. This novel is the seventh in The Soulstone Chronicles.)

About the author
K.M. Frontain
17 books31 followersI am an anglophone writer in Quebec province, Canada. I like to write epic fantasy with romantic elements and particularly enjoy stories of relationships between men, though this is not my only reading interest. My published stories often have glbtq content. I do not write in the m/m genre. Many of my novels include female characters who may be involved with main characters.
The Soulstone Chronicles blurb: An enigmatic deity reborn as a human being has been enslaved to work the downfall of the religious sects governing a coastal crescent of his world, but nothing can contain this perilous individual forever, not the memory-crippling blackness of death, the ominous earth goddess who seeks to recapture him, or the powerful spell that binds his soul to a stone.
The chronological order of the series is as follows: Bound in Stone, The Gryphon Taint, The Disposition of Ashes, The Redemption of Tehlm Sevet. Future sets are planned: The Sun Bane, The Apostate God, and Hell Walker.

I don't know if I can write an unbiased review, since I have already read all the published books in this series... and loved them!

When I found this series and had delved into the complex world within I was shocked to find that this series had not yet gotten the recognition it deserves, and still hasn't. This may be due to the original cover art, which honestly put me off from starting this series for quite a while, the first book sat in my library for ages before I finally gave it a try, and damn! What a find! Anyone who gives this authors works a chance will see what a spectacular gem they've found in this series.
If you are planning to start this series know that it does contain elements of horror, non-con, torture, etc.. but they are there to serve a purpose and not just there for the shock value. For me this makes these elements acceptable as part of the narrative since it is there to help with the character development and world building. So, if you can get past these things you are in for a wild ride.
This is an epic Saga. It's hard to give an overview of this story without giving a way key plot points, but I guess a good way to describe this book, and the series as a whole, is of obsession, love, hate, war, power, and so much more.
For me when I read a book I put myself fully into the mind of the character I'm reading and there are some books where a character is so engaging, charismatic, and just plain fun that you are instantly engrossed every time they are mentioned in the story. Kehfrey is one of those characters, which is part of what makes this series work so well.
Kehfrey is by no means the only interesting character, on the contrary most of the characters are exceptional in their own right; dynamic, intricate, and far the from the usual two dimensional characters that are cranked out by the dozen by authors simply to enhance the main character, be comic relief, or just convenient sounding boards.
This series takes character driven storyline and a fascinating and intricate plot and combines them into a Saga that stands head and shoulders above the other fantasy series being published lately.

I have read every single book of this series and I LOVE THEM ALL!. I can not wait for the next one to come out. I will warn readers that it does have gay (male on male) sexual content in every story so if this is something that offends or is morally unacceptable then DO NOT read this series, but if you are like me and what you are looking for is a great storyline a fabulous lead character then this series is the series for you. Every book continues on the story, but each book can stand alone as well.
