Devoid of Grey

Gateway to Perdinok #1

by Jeremiah Cain

They see only black and white, devoid of grey. And, into this flawed dualism, they drag the world. Now, a quarter of the haggard populace must fight, flee, or die when their own home declares them wicked and demands their death?

Within this dark epic fantasy, the largest church of a medieval-like empire condemns a minority church as evil. Soon, a soldier struggles with orders to kill, as he must decide if what is “right” can change by Church decree.

A normal townswoman must fight as her people are sentenced to death in the empire where they’ve lived all their lives.

Far away, two men from conflicting nations attempt to forge a relationship while trying to forge an alliance.

Farther still, an elf boy sees the destruction of his peaceful home for nothing but a would-be weapon.

Finally, a small nation must call on the Dark for help when the Light betrays them.

Throughout the world of Perdinok, a range of people have their lives upended as unrest turns to civil war and turns to war on other nations. In the end, the sanctimonious empire unearths an ancient power that threatens all. Only a Demoness can put things right, but she holds her own agenda.

Interesting story.

It was downloaded a certain way that sometimes made it difficult 2 read and 2 distinguish which character was talking or thinking something. Unique names that I had 2 try and keep straight, that made reading the story sometimes confusing.

Interesting concept for a book. Slowed down a bit for me but it was still enjoyable.
