Fantasy and Horror
Hero or traitor? Which is he? Which is she? It depends on which side you are on. But there are a lot of sides in the aftermath of Kimalloa’s social, political and religious revolution. Rich and poor, plotters and spies, idealists and cynics are all trying to make sense of it and survive the brutal realities of it.
In the final battle of a bloody civil war, Yonnis, the successful General of the Rebel Army of Truth, shocks himself by committing a reckless act of vengeance. He resolves to change, and to prove that he can be a peacemaker. He commits to an unpopular marriage to the defeated king’s niece, Esta, and takes a symbolic role in the government of the new republic.
His quest for peace starts well, but resentment and suspicion swirl around him. One former comrade in a cabal of purists in the government elite is determined to destroy Yonnis and Esta. A rebellion and an ill-timed assassination play into the plotters’ hands and plunge them into danger. Who can help the injured Yonnis to save the crumbling peace of Kimalloa?
Here's what readers have to say about this book....
What a great read! The author's use of the friendship, deceit and loyalty within the characters, frames the plots with intrigue. I completed this all consuming book twice. For anyone that loved Game of Thrones, this is a must! I look forward to more publications in the future.
An well-thought out story, starting, unusually, after a civil war and looking at how to rebuild the country. Plenty of intrigue and double-crossing with lots of jostling for position in a 'democratic' society. I finished the book eager to know what happened next. Does Yonnis succeed in bringing the people's of Kimalloa together, will Esta be satisfied with her new life, will the likes of Seemo and Pollo benefit from the new order?
