Praise for this book
If you LOVE games and trials in your D&D style dark fantasy, this book is for you!
Russ introduces us to a group of young monks as they graduate from their academy setting into service of their community. Healers, warriors, and spies, they're a well rounded bunch, but the story centers around Reed and Railen. Reed is a moon elf escaping her past and her family's reputation. Railen is a human born into slavery, trying to make a place for himself in a world that would rather see him dead. Even though they're in their post academy positions, there is a lingering sense of academia in the structure of their settlement. They live alongside the acolytes that are still training, and like one might expect in a martial arts setting, the instructors have high ranking positions in the military side of things.
We get to know the characters through a series of games and trials that hone their skills and help them develop tight bonds ... or push them further apart, depending on ones disposition. But in the background, there's a menace creeping in around them that builds up to an epic ending that kicks off the overall story arc of the series.
Yeah I need more! I knew it was gonna be good cause I read Lore, but OMG!! I don't even know what to do with myself right now.
