Good story but so many spelling mistakes and typing errors.
Dean Kastle obviously put a lot of effort into writing these great books, what a shame the publisher didn't bother.

It is a never ending journey for Geth to resolve the way and keep Hadean as king. It means a lot of travel, it means meeting those with whom he has issues. Who knows what cards they are playing: "What if Lyanne is the one playing the part? What if she’s playing her son as well? What does she know of you, Geth?”
Whom can he trust? Then he is jailed, yet again and it is not pleasant: "These were what they called the ‘dog days’ he reckoned, when all you wanted to do was lay down in the shade and wait for it to end."
He remembers them all: "Geth howled. For dead Eko, for Baby, for all the rest. For Phelan and Vriana, Agrem and Melagus.” For the dead-man dozen. For Hadean and his vision of Umbel. He threw everything he had into a charge and a swing as hard as the time before and harder." It was truly life of death, and he was dying. But he has a circle of powerful friends, friends who are with each other, covering for each other, and will be there to ensure it is not the end.
Interesting twists and turns in this story, characterized by Geth's violent abilities.

A man that not shy of using his sword.
I loved the main character. While not truly a "good" man, he was loyal to his few friends and principles. Great action and writing.
I would recommend to anyone that loves a character others gravitate to and has a sense of morality even though he meanders through a murky world.
