Power of Righteousness

Staked out in a marsh under the noonday sun, Grendis Lam could think of no worse way to die. Yet, the sun showed mercy, imbuing him with power and a mandate to walk the path of righteousness. Now, allying with the wandering sorceress Arianna, this former mercenary must stop a mad, despotic sorcerer intent on plunging the Hundred Kingdoms into the Underworld one by one.

It's been a while since I read a tie in novel for some property or another, and this was definitely one. The characters were engaging enough and the setting had some interesting points, but ultimately this felt like just another fantasy story.
