Vastian Lore
Sometimes taking the job means betraying family...
Turns out, Norarl is fine with that, once he accepts his whole life has been a lie.
His half-sister wants him dead. His twin brother would be only too happy to help her succeed, but they also want more than just his murder.
Arius and Zadraal will do everything in their power to free an army whose sole purpose is to destroy all life not like their own.
The only problem?
To break the magical seal on the Gate of N’sumenel requires the sacrifice of an Earthbound Elemental.
The real test will be if Norarl cares enough about his new-found allies to fight alongside them?

4.5/5
This was an intense, riveting read that left me desperately wanting more. It's a short read, but packed with plenty of action. The world that Steph has created is really unique and we get enough hints spread throughout to piece some of it together. Granted, I wanted more in order to get a better picture and hopefully we'll get it in a full length book.
I really really liked Norarl. He's got a fascinating character and back story. The other characters were dynamic as well and I really want to find out more about each of them. I guess my only complaint is that I wish it was longer. It ends on a bit of a cliffhanger and all I can say is I want more! I'm deeply fascinated by this world and the story created. I'll definitely be reading more of Steph's work in the future!
Content Warning:
There's a lot of magic and some of the characters are called demons. In this world demons seem to just be magic users and not what we would think of demons as. There's also a bit of language scattered throughout, but nothing more than d**n, s**t, and characters referencing "Hel". Just as a general warning if you're not "into" stuff like that (but I personally didn't find any of the content objectionable).

Vastian Lore is a fast-paced, entertaining story that blows open the doors to a big, big world. Strong characters and intriguing plot elements, while at times overwhelming, will keep you turning (or swiping) pages. I’m looking forward to S. C. Gregory’s work-to-come.

Gritty, action-packed, a bit gory at times.
The pace was fast and held my attention. I found the characters interesting and would like to learn more about them. This felt like the beginning of a much larger story, and it's made me very curious to explore the world S.C. Gregory has created in these pages.
Contains: there's some language, and gory bits.
