About the author

Based in New Zealand, or in other words the Middle Earth, it was inevitable that I turned to writing fantasy and sci-fi. So here I am.

By the way, if you come across some rather dry academic writing on the web, that was me too in a past life. Don't hold that against me.

I really enjoyed this book. It's the continuation of Lions of Istan (introduction to this world full of magic), and it culminates with a battle where all the different fragments of the story collide. The puzzle is taking shape, and all we need to know is the so awaited conclusion. It is full of plot twist. A great read.

What I’m really loving about this series is that the word building and the setting makes me feel as if I’ve been transported there. I get to see first hand what’s going on and all the wicked and sinister plans as well. It’s a relatively read with so many plot twists that your head will spin ( in a good way ). I loved it and I’m sure you will as well.

Entertaining and Thrilling story of the Divided Sultanate Series!!

This book was well composed in its story composition. It was well written and featured intrigue and action in good measure. It ends well with climactic situation and a great hook for following into the next book of the series. An enjoyable read.
