"The #1 Bestselling Dark Fantasy Saga Concludes Amid Gothic Angst and Sexuality!" In the final book in Janrae Frank's stunning trilogy, the hellgod, Gylorean has been released and a world trembles on the brink of catastrophe. Terribly wounded, the young necromancer Isranon, blood-slave to Anksha, a demon eater, seeks the staff of his ancestor, the Dawnhand, his world's only defense against the hellgod. Isranon encounters a mysterious woman healer named Nans, and becomes involved with her band of refugees, fleeing Minnoras where Gylorean was released. Outlawed and pursued by bounty-hunters, Isranon tries desperately to survive until he can find the sacred staff. But Isranon himself is in desperate need of healing, and his only hope is to trick a god, the Sun-Lord, Kaliron! Magic and morality highlight the conclusion of this unique dark fantasy! Violence, adult situations and scenes. "Janrae Frank immerses the reader in her world. Janrae Frank has rounded up the usual suspects from central European myths and embellished with gothic angst and sexuality. Each character has an agenda -- whether it's a plan to fulfill, a rival to dispose of, or a principle to keep -- from the lowliest slave to the most selfish vampire lord. Their desires, their tensions, their frustrations set the tone for the trilogy.  The protagonist Isranon is the last of the Dark Brothers: an order of pacifists in a world of parasites and cannibals. His dignity and magical weakness make him something of a novelty and as such Anksha (a demon-eater whose proclivities make Lucretia Borgia and Elisabeth Bathory look like a pair of menopausal Avon ladies) quickly singles him out for repeated feedings. His struggles to stay alive and true to his teachings are nicely handled. Although prophecy and the weight of history help to shape the story, the characters drive the plot. Worth a second read. Just so long as there isn't another `green imps and ham' line!" Phil Smith.
