About this ebook

When the world is thrown into chaos, will the hero rise up to save the people again, or was the betrayal from before his breaking point?

Jacob has been captured by the Kingdom of Terrasole and declared a traitor. Enyo and Fellis arrive in Alyssium, the capital city where Queen Alice’s palace, Avant Heim, is located. It is also where Jacob is being kept under lock and key. In order to save Jacob, they must find a way into Avant Heim, but with Lust roaming around, the White Council creating political unrest, and a host of other problems, their task might be insurmountable.

Ratings and reviews

Part two goes from average to mediocre. The book reads like the author got tired of the plot 2/3 of the way through. Timeskips happened frequently in this series, but the actual effects of that time are pure convenience. The author's general dislike of men who aren't the protagonist is made more clear, as men in the story are portrayed as lustful, incompetent idiots, who are generally evil or sexist. A particular noteworthy part is where a village that has had all of it's women disappear and turn undead. The female lead presumes their help is being turned down because she is female, and she threatens them to allow her to help; Her and the book are both happy to ignore trauma and frustration from men losing their families likely fueling their rejection. The protagonist is the only major male character- All others are female. The series had potential in it's attempts to explore tropes of the genre; Instead, it would have played out better had it simply just followed the tropes rotely.
