The world of Arkaria is a dangerous place, filled with dragons, titans, goblins and other dangers. Those who live in this world are faced with two choices: live an ordinary life, or become an adventurer and seek the extraordinary. In the depths of the dark elven homeland of Saekaj Sovar, Terian Lepos returns home after a long estrangement from his family. Separated from his friends in Sanctuary, Terian must reconcile with his father in order to keep the family's honor from a threat brought forward by an old enemy. Faced with test after test that strains him to the breaking point, Terian must discover for himself that the line between loyalty and betrayal is thin indeed...and that sometimes, the sharpest knives are wielded by those you know best.

Amazing!! Wasn't sure about this one to start but was amazing to see things from a different point if view/ different characters eyes and learn to love them by the end!

Neat to read a bit about others in the series. I can't wait for the next Sanctuary episode to come out.

An amazing companion novel
Reviewed in the United States on 16 August 2016Verified Purchase
I'm now through book 5 of the main series as well as the companion (dark elf) books, and so I want to provide some thoughts to someone who might be contemplating trying this series. The 1st book in the series won't give you much hope about the future of the series, but let me tell you that overall it's worth diving into and my review above really speaks to my feelings about the published series as a whole, not just this book. Part of the joy of this series is watching the author slowly become a significantly better and more confident writer.
During the course of that growth the world, the characters, and my love for the series has also grown. It starts out like a typical early 00's MMORPG and grows in depth and subtly with each passing book. I urge you give this series a chance and I hope by book 3 you'll have grown to love it as much I as do.
Book 1: Boring, predictable, mediocre fantasy novel. The first half is particularly bad. 2 of 5 stars
Book 2: Slightly better. The world begins to expand a little in this novel and the characters become a little more 3 dimensional. 3 of 5 stars
Book 3: The world opens up, the main characters begin to have a real voice, and you feel the actual stakes at play within this universe. Most importantly the author finds how to incorporate his trademark snark and sarcasm into these relationships. 4 of 5 stars
Book 4: The series asks questions that involve real more complexity including dealing with death, responsibility for our actions, and the importance of trust in relationships. 4 of 5
Book 4.5 Provides more color and complexity for one of the best characters in the series. 5 of 5
Book 5: I'm hooked. Can't wait to see the path that this story finally takes us down. 5 of 5
Book 5.5 More backstory, more complexity, just wonderful. This is basically Ender's Shadow to book 5's Enders Game. 5 of 5.

Go Terian Go.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 August 2015Verified Purchase
This is a wonderful book. I read it out of sequence, because the Sanctuary series is my favourite, but I loved seeing how Terian fights the way he was raised and tries to do right. I like the fact that he has his own opinions and struggles and would like more of his tales too. Reading this after sanctuary five actually worked quite well. I really want to know how he managed to become what he does, (Don't want to spoil the story) and reconcile with Cyrus again. I hope that somehow he manages to release his sister, that he gets love and that he doesn't lose what he is now.
He is a good character in his own right and this book was a good look at his past.

Desolation in the dark lands
Reviewed in the United States on 17 February 2017Verified Purchase
This book is not what I expected. Explains so many things about Terian who what and the why of him. Set in the dark lands where duty is confused with tyranny. Enjoyed reading his story it is fraught with redemption power a bit of self pity and jealousy. And he has this cavalier righteous attitude steeped in honour that draws you to him and you want him to be redeemed. Not for the feint hearted highly recommend.
