About this ebook

 "This world is not safe. Your angels have done great things, but I fear their illusion of safety has been more damaging than they can possibly understand. The ancient evils may be gone, but new ones have replaced them." 

---- 

Five years have passed since the death of the war god, and now angels watch over the land. It should be a time of peace and prosperity. It is not. 

With King Antonil marching east to retake his former lands from the orcs, Harruq Tun is thrust into a position of power he is completely unprepared for, leaving many plotting to usurp the throne for their own ends. Hovering over it all are the angels, enforcers of the law and wielders of the executioner's blades. Once viewed as humanity's saviors, the angels now find themselves struggling for a proper place in the new world. 

Monsters in the Vile Wedge are stirring, and in the south the nation of Ker moves to protect itself from a rule from on high. War comes, and if Harruq cannot stop it, their paradise of angels may soon become a blood-stained prison.

Ratings and reviews

cant say i liked this one very much. very big cliff hanger and almost made me not want to read the next book if it werent for the epilogue. this one really does feel like an intro tho.

Although it was a good read, I wished the author would have ended this series with the 5th novel, "A Sliver of Redemption." Although its ending was a bit rushed, it left the reader satisfied. Its "happy" ending completed the struggle of the half-orcs and put a seeming finality to the series. I will however start book 7 of this series and hope to get that same "happy" ending there.

Spoiler alert: After having killed Thulos, and burnt Velixar downs to ash I didn't expect much of this book. The main plot and story line was already finished, brothers reunited and Karak defeated it seemed the story was already over. However Mr. Dalglish managed to pull it out and engage the reader with a thrilling story focusing on the conflicts between men and angels and the creatures of the vile wedge. PD: Loved seeing Darius back again, it brought the back the memories!
