The men secured the shackles slowly, hesitantly, but Kibure did not resist; he couldn’t. Whatever otherworldly power had come over him in those moments of passion had fled his body the second he realized what he had done....

In a realm where only clerics are permitted to practice magic, Kibure’s inexplicable use of power places him in grave danger. In a twist of fate, the rogue priestess hired to strip him of his power chooses instead to help him escape. Her reasons for doing so are her own, but something worse than death awaits if they are unable to evade the Empire's most potent wielders.

This epic fantasy series will be especially enjoyed by fans of Brandon Sanderson, Robert Jordan, Michael J. Sullivan, Edward W. Robertson, and Michael Wisehart.

It takes a bit to get into but over all a solid story. I can’t wait to start the next one.

Worth it

It's always hard to step away from finishing a long epic by a favourite author. Thirsty for more of that place it's hard to find a new one that will invite you in and promise to be extra extraordinary too. There is whisper of that in this story. Hints of everything being bigger and more detailed and far apart from the real... Which is why I read fantasy n scifi.
The things I didn't like are easily remedied and usually self correct as authors build up confidence in their creation.
The narrator put forward the varying accents and language quirks well that me keep track of the different nationalities.

I look forward to how this world will open up
