Fading Lights #2
Taboo
Durriken is meant to save the world. His god wants him to destroy it.
Durriken grew up with hard labor, starvation, and a zealot’s belief in the harsh but benevolent god Isfeth. Then he finds himself in a horrible predicament. His jealous half-sister has sold him into the most profane slavery imaginable: the pleasure slave class known as Kwaihir. Worse yet, the infamous Lord of the Kwaihir, Diajik, now owns Durriken.
His zealous mother raised him to believe Diajik is a demon and the sworn enemy of Durriken’s god Isfeth; it horrifies Durriken to find out she was right on both counts. The crazy demon also seems to think Durriken was born the chosen savior of the world and will be the one to help Diajik destroy Isfeth
Will Durriken sort out the truth from the lies in time to save his world from utter destruction?

Is it over? A part of me doesn't want it to be over. I loved the new main character but wished this story had more of Bram in it. I get it, the focal point was destroying Isfeth and all that action stuff.. but I've really been enjoying the sideline stories about the character's personal lives.
I truly wonder if there will be more to the story. I sure hope so. Especially after getting freed from the Queen
