A young warrior risks his life and soul to develop his arcane knowledge—and destructive power—in this dark fantasy adventure.
Zeke Blackwood wields immeasurable power. A half-human, half-demon Cambion, he has fought his way through the Eternal Realm, becoming a legend in the process. A liberator of slaves and the leader of an army of loyal kobolds, he reluctantly takes on the responsibility of protecting those who’ve sworn to fight at his side, even as his other allies remain lost to him.
Talia Nightingale has joined her undead brethren in the Deathguard, investigating a series of murders most foul. The alchemist Tucker lives among the Kirran, a race of dragonkin in desperate need of a potion to cure a wicked curse. And Abby, the woman Zeke once loved and who betrayed them all, has found purpose as the inquisitor for the Radiant Host, a cult of Sun Goddess worshippers seeking to cleanse the land of the impure.
But Zeke’s closest companions are soul-bonded to the bearkin Pudge and the demonic mind spirit Eveline. One shares his feelings; the other reads his thoughts. But neither influences him as much as his dual nature, divided between empathy for others and an insatiable lust for dominion. And with every monster he slays, the more power he accrues, forcing him to confront the darkness that lies in own heart . . .
The seventh volume of the hit LitRPG fantasy series—with more than a million views on Royal Road—now available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook!
I rarely give reviews especially on books I enjoy but this one left me frustrated. The side stories took up way too much of the book. I hope at some point it all becomes relevant to the later part of the story. There was almost no growth for the MC until the end and we won't see what that is until the next book. There are way too many plots being juggled taking my focus away and forcing me to try and get back into the flow of the story. Still a good series but please don't continue to do this
Great characters.. Beautiful story full of heartbreak, family, courage and pushing forward.. Highly recommend JD Glasscock Author of the Series Blood Brothers and Nocturne
I loved this book. We get to go into a dungeon and I have to say they pull off some true rpg stunts. It felt like it theyvwere adventuring like my regular D&D group.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and i think it's a great addition to the series. Excellent growth by the MC, and i am looking forward to reading the next book.
