A wickedly addictive read\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Micciola draws on elements of fantasy and romance to create an exhilarating tale of love, murder, intrigue, and betrayal. It\u2019s been two-hundred years since the sinister Kemryr is imprisoned. But the members of the vicious and deadly Black Light cult are determined to set Kemryr free, threatening to shatter the peace of Midstad, a peaceful land for over two centuries. All the races, including humans, elves, and dwarves must come together and fight the ruthless enemy. With a decidedly darker edge to the narrative, Micciola builds a spectacularly detailed fantasy world rife with high action, relentless suspense, and finely constructed battle scenes. The storyline, fraught with individual struggles, sinister conspiracies, political intrigue, and astonishing revelations keep the pages flying. Micciola\u2019s prose is immersive as he explores his characters\u2019 fears, inner turmoil, and personal trauma. The open ending climax will raise readers\u2019 fervor for the next installment while solving several plot threads. Fans of sophisticated dark fantasy won\u2019t want to miss this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
