About this ebook

 A thousand years ago, the Good King rose and defeated the demons that had oppressed his people for centuries. After his final victory, he imprisoned the demons deep beneath the earth with a seal that will hold so long as his descendants hold the throne. Unfortunately, every dynasty comes to an end.

And as time went on, people forgot about the demons, treating them as nothing more than scary tales meant to frighten disobedient children. And when the last king was killed and left no heir to succeed him, the once-proud Kingdom of Lamaira splintered into three factions that have fought for decades in their attempt to conquer what is left of the kingdom.

Without a king on the throne, the demons will rise again and destroy the people of Lamaira. And when twenty-three-year-old swordsman Keo kills a demon in the woods, he realizes that the demons are returning. To prevent the demons' return, Keo must travel to the capital of his country to show the country's rulers the proof of the demons' return so they can prepare for the ancient threat. Keo must fight robbers, demons, and other threats on his way to the capital, but little does he know that there exists a traitor among the leaders who threatens to destroy the country from the inside.

Ratings and reviews

I rather enjoyed it. Could've used better editing, but the story was interesting and well paced. I figured out the ending very early on, but I'm one of those weird freaks that can predict how a movie will end five minutes in, but it's never about ending for me. It's about what happens in the middle. And this book did not disappoint in that regard.

I didn't get emotionally involved. Keos only friend gets killed and its like nothing happened. Where's the agony and grief?

a very interesting and magical experience even through the first chapter. love it!
