The gods of old that left the world and put up the lethal Godveil to keep anyone from following them. It isn’t long before they’re forced up against the Godveil, a boundary that has no other purpose but to persuade them to walk into its grasp and kill them, by pursuing Syldoon and they have to make a desperate and risky choice to avoid being killed by their brothers.įor two books now, the author has hinted at the history surrounding the Deserters. The story in CHAINS picks up from there, quickly after the close of VEIL OF THE DESERTERS. Instead, Captain Killcoin and those beneath him fled the city in search of the deposed emperor, Thumarr. Really, they had to fight their way out, after realizing that the new emperor, Cynead, wasn’t going to make things easy on them. Arki’s changed much since that time, and they’ve traveled much, but at the end of the previous book they’d been chased out of Sunwrack, the capital of the mighty Syldoon empire. Or, slightly more callously, Scribbler.Īrki had a relatively soft life before Captain Braylar Killcoin hired him as scribe, archivist, and translator, to travel with his band of soldiers as they sought to undermine the country in which Arki lived their previous archivist having met a rather… inauspicious end. All of the books have been greatly accessible in terms of world building and history because of its main character: Arkamondos, typically called Arki. Ha! It lands solidly in the Swords & Sorcery genre but has a lot of military themes within it as well.
Link at the bottom of the review.įor those of you that already know the greatness of the first, read on.ĬHAINS OF THE HERETIC ( Amazon) is the third and final book in the Bloodsounder’s Arc, and I just love the fact that they didn’t call this thing a trilogy. For five bucks, it’s worth taking a chance on an author that you’re sure to enjoy, if you’re a fan of the authors we praise here at EBR. If you haven’t read this book yet, you totally need to go out and buy it. But then again, the book had been relatively inexpensive to begin with… in fact, as of the writing of this review, the paperback is only $5. When I got the book in the mail, I was somewhat bemused and slightly disappointed by its apparent size.

His review of that one (forever ago) was blisteringly positive, but for whatever reason I didn’t immediately put it on my list of books to read. A while back I decided to finally listen to our reviewer, Nick, and picked up SCOURGE OF THE BETRAYER ( EBR Review).
