Plagued with removing his own memory, Darayan, former Gorgon and Layos native has fled Rivalex to live a peaceful life on planet Sari with his Sarinese friend Archibel, under the alias of Duke and Polie of Hyravane. After strange feelings overtake Darayan and memories serve to return, something sets off a spark in the universe and his current homeworld becomes invaded. A sub-story running the same timeframe as the Kaianan trilogy, here we see a young man delving into his past, understanding his purpose, and accepting the fate which intertwines him with the Rivalex Mark herself.
Cara Violet amazes again with this companion novel to the Kaianan Trilogy. It is rare that we are able to get a glimpse into the background operations of battles and war, and with Darayan, Violet was able to show us things that authors rarely think about. I don't want to go too into detail about it as I feel that everything I say could be spoilery, but there is a new character to be added to my favourites list.
And, of course, I still want Cuki merch, and I nearly spat my drink when he yelled "Coo Wee"!
