Brimstone Angels by Erin M. Evans
4.0
Teiflings. They're kind of like half human, half devil. At least in appearance. The twin Teiflings in this novel are the good guys, one of which saves her sister from making a pact with a devil by basically doing it herself. Farideh is her name, and she's now Lorcan's warlock. He's one of the devils her twin sister Havilar called up and then didn't really have any plans for. Farideh however is a little more thoughtful and knows exactly what she's done.
Anyway, this novel sees them venturing off on a bounty hunt along with their adoptive Father. Along the way they meet a trainee priest, or so they think, called Brin. But things aren't all they seem. As they enter the great city of Neverwinter in search of the aformentioned bounty, they soon find themselves smack bang in the middle of a classic battle of good vs evil.
I liked Brin. I like priests. Especially priests that have really cool magical abilities and turn out at the last minute to be much, much more than you ever thought they were. It was a nice little twist.
This is a novel set in a D&D world called Faerun, which is itself in a universe called the Forgotten Realms. You never really expect too much of novels based off RPGs but this wasn't half bad. It's no Song of Ice and Fire of course, but then it's not supposed to be. I've already bought the sequel in this trilogy anyway. I wasn't going to jump straight into the sequel due to fear of burn out but I read the back cover and it looks like they head into a classic D&D dungeon. I just can't pass that up I'm afraid.
Here's to more of the same, only better, because it has a dungeon in it(I think. I'll let you know when I've read it...)
