Oriana Gravendeer wants to change the world. But first, she must conquer it.
With a powerful kingdom as her ally, a brood of dragons at her disposal, and sorcery at her command, overthrowing the powers of Avestas should prove effortless.
But when friends become enemies and a harrowing evil washes ashore, merely surviving in a world turned against her becomes unthinkable.
Justin DePaoli called Pittsburgh home for twenty-one years, but now lives in Kentucky with his fiancee, stilt-legged German shepherd, two cats, and a company of fish.
Beginning his career as a freelance writer, he now writes fiction full-time.
When he's not writing, he enjoys playing guitar (quite horribly), running, lifting, playing video games, and spending time with his fiancee and menagerie of pets.
DePaoli has a way with words that draws you in and leaves you wanting more. His characters are believable and you can relate to the things they think and feel. I loved the first book and this one was even better. I look forward to book 3!
Although I didn’t manage to properly read the previous book of the series, I will still skim through and update my review, so that my old, lazier one can cease to exist.
I still can’t say if there’s a coherent plot/story or not, as I merely skimmed through. However, I can say that the writing itself is consistent; there doesn’t seem to be a switch-up in writing style, therefore I still find the writing for the series to be particularly good, although I paid no mind to the story itself.
