Imperialism is the root of most problems in the Merged Seas. The Golden Empire, and the empire of Levac have been the scourge of Araxia for centuries. They take what they want and leave little behind.
Zyree has spent her life trying to put an end to it. Years spent searching for the one who will unite Araxia, the one worthy to wield the hammer that broke the mountain and merged the seas. But will he be ready when the enemy comes again?
Darius was snatched away from his mother as a baby. All his life he’s been brought up on one word: destiny. When the Levacians start work on an evergreen mine in the south of Araxia, he has a chance to become the hero he was born to be. But has that chance come too soon?
The enemy may have guns, but in the jungle, spears and shields, bows and arrows, and a great big hammer rule the way.

If you've read anything from Pete Draper before, you can expect to see some familiar faces in this one, even if it takes place in a different part of his world.
The story itself lives up to the name of a grimdark novel. The plot is pretty straight forward, which isn't a bad thing. There's a lot of battles, and has a lot of interesting concepts, especially with one character named Zyree.
Overall, a solid read. If you're looking for a easily digested grimdark novel, you don't have to look any longer.

This is the first Grim Dark book I have read, so the genre is very new to me. Warning that it is what it says it is there are so gruesome and gory parts that if you as a reader find disturbing up front say that this is not for you. I am still unsure on my feelings on Grimdark but I persisted. The story is a bit slow to start there is a lot going on and it takes a while to understand events however action does pick up in the second half of the book. It doesn’t leave on a cliffhanger but it leads up to a round ending for a next book.

A grimdark story with compelling characters. Pete fleshed out each of his characters in a magnificent way, even the villains. Through the eyes of Zyree and Darius, you will get to experience all the shades of this unique fantasy world. The fight scenes are amazing and the descriptions are vivid; they will suck you in without you even noticing it.
