SYNOPSIS
17 years ago, in the island village of Dentro, lived a large and powerful demon. With just a howl, mountains were obliterated. With the help of an outsider, the chief of Dentro destroyed the demon and sealed its dark power into three powerful ancient weapons: a spear, shield, and a sword. After leaving the unwelcoming village, the man who helped destroy the demon took the sword in an effort to keep it away from the village. Months later, a villager bore the son of the outsider, breaking one of the sacred village laws in doing so.
Born into a village filled with people who hated him, Zephyr grew up without knowing why they did. With no friends, and eventually no family with the passing of his mother, Zephyr was forced to survive by himself as an outcast. Zephyr’s only wish being to make his mother proud and force the village to recognize him while surviving in a world filled with demons, paranormal abilities, love, hate and undiscovered lands.
REVIEW
Zephyr is amazing and he has such a strong sense of bravery that I was cheering for him every step of the way. He is loyal and eager to prove his worth to a village that has labelled him as an outcast for many years. Even betrayed by his own people, Zephyr shows his strength of character as he befriends Leon and with more determinarion than ever they set off on a dangerous mission into an unknown world. Along the way they meet many interesting characters - some good and willing to help, others evil and only interested in their own greed and preservation.
At times it felt like things went too smoothly for Zephyr and Leon, but even when faced with impossible situations I had to admire thier raw courage as they threw themselves head first into danger.
It was great to see how they each developed their skills and power, and there was always that hint that there was something more going on which left me with a million questions flowing in my mind. What was really going on with Leon? (Other than his issues with his brother). What was the connection between Zephyr and Leon, if any? Who was Zephyr's father? As it was clear he held more significance. This all came together in an epic ending that brought to light Leon's true nature and answered many of the mysteries surrounding Zephyr.
If you are looking to be swept away on an amazing adventure, I suggest you grab a copy of this book. I can't wait for book 2.
It gets...
