Summary
Separated from Ember and Max, Kael Symes turns to an old friend to help hide the afterlife tokens in Talohna’s most terrifying locales.
After nearly two years and with one token left to hide, a powerful magical event hits Talohna and causes the failure of the most important spell Kael has ever cast. The horrific results leave him a wanted man and all of his efforts to form an alliance against the Ri’Tek fall apart.
With the tokens hidden at last, Kael wants nothing more than to forget the past and to spend time with his family, but knowing they will never be safe no matter where they hide, he recruits Treach in a bid to scour the Arcane Library catacombs for an answer. When the fallen god discovers the location of a legendary fortress thought to exist only in myth, Kael and his allies set out to find the hidden keep in the hopes of making it a home for the children born under the rays of the Black Sun.
Unfortunately for Kael and everyone he cares about, myths in Talohna are often grounded in reality and when they stumble into the cursed grounds of Solikyr Fortress, Kael prays that the last five years have hardened him enough to protect his loved ones from the gauntlet of horrors that have infected the fortress and its massive castle. Kael and his companions press further into the fortress and deeper into the curse, only to discover one of Talohna’s oldest and most dangerous secrets.
One that will leave its mark on them all.

A great edition to the tale
Very much enjoyed both the story and the performance. I found sometimes that sections were jumped through to shorten the story. This may just have been my perception. I am looking forward to the next instalment. Great job by Simon Vance.

The rich depths get deeper.
The world created in these books is so intriguing and as the saga develops the mysteries and history keep you wanting more. My only gripe is the conversations between characters is sometimes unnaturally descriptive, although on something this vast I understand the information has to be put across to the readers somehow. Anyone who likes a high fantasy story with grit, action and rich mythic depth will love these books. Throughly enjoyed it and can’t wait for the next one.

love the saga but just misses 5*
the world JD Franx has made is original and constantly opens new doors and ideas that keep you guessing. I would definitely recommend these books if your into the fantasy genre. The only issue I have is we are on book 4 and Kael is yet to really dominate a fight and seems to get caught out too easily for someone who has managed to fight his way out of hell. I love that encounters are never straight forward but I'm dying to see him dominate and be confident in his ability for someone who is so powerful. i hope this doesn't just happen right at the end, if it happens.
