Dog of War #4
Let Sleeping Dogs Lie
"Kastle writes like a warrior poet..." Tellest Reviews
Can there never be peace?
The war in the north has been won, the traitor in the south deposed. Honors hang across Geth's shoulders, and against all odds, he's pulled together something like a family. Soon, he'll be a father.
But his enemies haven't forgotten about him. In distant sword-yards and behind palace walls, they watch and wait. When their traps are finally sprung, he'll be dragged right back into the fray
The dog of war returns.
Malevolent witches and vengeful swords plot Geth's demise. Dubious allies harbor designs of their own. But there's no danger Geth won't risk to protect those he holds dear. HIs enemies should have let sleeping dogs lie. By cunning, or by cut of the blade, he'll make them wish they had. If there's one thing his journey has taught him, it's that friends, family, and love are worth more than life itself.
From sinister prisons to the fencer's arena to the darkened back alleys of Eria's most dangerous city, LET SLEEPING DOGS LIE will pull you along an inexorable path of action and intrigue. Get your copy now and begin the adventure!
"Gritty, masterful... Dean Kastle is the fresh new voice we've been waiting for in fantasy." Amazon Reviews
"If you enjoy gritty, character-driven fantasy where nothing comes easy and everyone’s a little broken, Dog of War is a must-read." Goodreads Reviews

Magicks, bloody magicks!
If not for magicks Geth would not be draw into this conflict. This conflict is personal, very personal. Both sides are out for revenge. And if you know Geth, you know: "And the vengeance part, that will be mine as well."
When the battle is met: "His anger burned as hot as ever, matched only by the merciless hatred in the cold blue eyes of his enemy."
A story of bitter battles and missteps. If you like brutal battles this one will give you a play by play. Luck, skill and friends all are needed as the story progresses.

Great series!
Riveting story line. Great characters. Lots of well written action and plots. I hope there are more books coming. Also this would make a good TV series.

Let sleeping dogs lie (Dog of War book 4)
There’s no doubt this was a really good book but also very sad. Good characters lost lives and the villain still running free to fight another day. Not sure if the king of the golden city is a figure head or under the throws of the queen, but he’s a lot useless. Great book and ready for the next.
