What happens when you piss off a Babylonian demigod?
Chris, Alycia and Emmi have spent the summer training in the mountains to become Sentinels, honing their magic while learning combat skills. But on the day of their final trial, Nabu, very much alive and sporting a new body, launches an all-out assault against them. Nabu's only demand - return Imhullu, or she will exact revenge not just upon the Sentinels, but upon everyone they love.
As the demigod carves a bloody and destructive path through the lives of the Sentinels, Chris must ascertain not only why Nabu needs the soul-consuming dagger, but also how to once and for all destroy her. The fate not just of his loved ones hangs in the balance, so too does the fate of every single human soul.
Jon Wasik is the author of the Sword of Dragons fantasy/adventure series and the urban fantasy series Chronicles of the Sentinels. But where, dear readers, did all this begin? And where is it all going?
For as long as he can remember, Jon has been a story teller - ever since he was first enamored by children's fantasy books. Then came the Hobbit, Star Wars EU, and Star Trek novels, on top of all of the movies and TV shows he could watch. That right there was a recipe for an active imagination and a love of all things fantasy and sci-fi. Add to that the growing number of fantasy and sci-fi video games, and, well, his imagination just never stops. All of that combined with a love of story telling and the written word, and his fate was sealed.
It also means he's a geek, and proud of it! You might find him dressed in a costume at a convention or a renaissance festival, you'll definitely find him at the movies, or you might catch him streaming video games! There's also a fair bit of hiking, exploring new places, checking out museums and zoos. Oh and writing. A lot of writing.
As for where this is all going? Well, you know what River Song says - "Spoilers."

I like the world that the author has created and the overall events that take place. I struggle to enjoy the main character, Chris, as he acts too childish to me in most situations in this book. I would never have guessed he and his friends had received any formal training based on how they interact with each other in stressful situations and with how little discipline they show, especially Chris. I wanted to enjoy the book more, but some aspects of the writing kept drawing me out of the story to focus instead on the choice of words or how often extra words were thrown into sentences.
