The Fire Seed
Eighteen-year-old King Darion has it all: a thriving kingdom, a powerful guardian, and an undefeated army. That is why he didn’t foresee the heedless attack by his neighboring state. Even more unexpected was the Stombriens’ attack during that same battle. The monsters he believed to be fictional were suddenly real and taking down his forces.
Following the harrowing battle—the Stombriens’ origin and motives still unknown—Darion finds a child alone and unharmed amongst the dead. Believing him to be a guardian, one that could become another line of defense against his enemies, Darion captures him. But the boy reveals nothing except his name. And going against Darion’s expectations and plans, the boy is weak, insolent, and the greatest threat to everything Darion values.

The Greco-Roman aesthetic is a nice change and the boy has enough mystery about him to keep feeding my curiosity. The author did a great job making both Abriel and Darion likable while maintaining the friction between them. I didn't feel like siding with one over the other, I wanted to root for them both. Being a Book 1 I was worried that the ending might not satisfy, but it left off at a very natural stop-point. And it felt really good.
