Following on from the events in book one Kylar hopes to move forward with a more peaceful life. Unfortunately staying away from the desire to kill isn't as easy as he hoped. But he will try like hell, for the family, peace and love he so craves.
His dreams of becoming a humble herbalist alongside his sweet love, and adopted child are shattered when an old friend from the past is rumoured to be alive. Will Kylar give up everything he had hoped for, to save his friend, and protect an entire nation from the Godking's reign?
I had a good time with this book. It is fun familiar fantasy, fast paced, good vs. evil overtones, morally grey characters and a surprising amount of humanity.
The last two lines of this book will have you itching to pick up book 3 right away!
