Summary

Three strangers chosen by the gods. A castle-servant who can bend fire and light to his will. A musician whose song can soothe even the wildest of hearts. And a nobleman with the gods' own luck.

Three strangers gifted with powers beyond that of normal mortals stand against the armies of shadow.

But there are other gods, other powers lurking in the darkness, and they, too, will find their champions.

Hunted by mortal and immortal enemies alike, Alesh and his companions flee south to the Ferinan lands. There, they will search for help they desperately need, those who might stand with them against the coming darkness.

A nobleman without hope. A musician to whom every song sounds like a funeral dirge. A castle servant at risk of being consumed by an evil greater than any he has faced.

They have set themselves against the coming Ever Dark. But shadows are not easily conquered, and no matter how many are cut down, more rise in their place.

For the truth of shadows is that they are not born.

They are made.

Oddly compelling

An oddly compelling tale involving fight after bloodthirsty descriptive fights which, because of the story and character building, is not as tedious as it might be. Despite the endless gory fights, I wanted to know what happened next and so, bizarrely, I recommend it and look forward to the next instalment

could've been so much better

in the end, I just got bored by this book. I won't be reading any more of the series. Too many rinse and repeat scenes, characters that date s bit annoying, the story not really going anywhere, etc. Shame, I thought this had promise.
