Synopsis

Salo must journey into the heart of darkness to find his way back home in the next epic book of C. T. Rwizi’s debut series.Salo’s queen has finally accepted his desire to be a mystic despite taboos concerning men’s use of magic. But her acceptance is not support; it is strategy.Under a disguise of the queen’s making, Salo enters Jungle City as a pilgrim to the Red Temple, only to find a magical barrier barring his entrance. Left at the mercy of the warring political factions that run the city, Salo faces a series of obstacles wrought by an unseen hand, knowing he cannot return home without completing his pilgrimage.But Isa, King of the Saire clan, has her own plans for Salo. She needs his help to extract the Covenant Diamond from the Red Temple’s inner sanctum—an artifact with the power to end her tribe’s divisions, prevent a genocide, and even save herself from her fate. His new task in hand, Salo navigates a cursed maze of invisible authority—and when he encounters shocking revelations about the power residing in the depths of the undercity, he must wield his magic to finally bring the truth about his world’s history to light.

The world building, characters, magic system...this is by far one of the best fantasy series I've read I'm recommending them to everyone. I also have zero imagination and need these to get popular so I can look at fan art......more

Goodreads review by Jacob on March 25, 2021

Couldn’t put it down I really enjoyed the last book and when the new one came out I bought it right away. I read through it in three days, I literally couldn’t stop. The world development is incredible and I hope there are more soon!......more

Goodreads review by Bob on April 20, 2021

This was the most disappointing ending of any book that I have ever read. There are a lot of characters that were introduced in a way that made you feel as if they were part of the overarching story. However, the book ends without providing any closure as to why they were added. The main antagonist......more

Quotes

“Wakanda meets Warhammer 40,000…Readers will enjoy the setting and the magic system…” —Publishers Weekly“Raised in Swaziland and Zimbabwe but now residing in South Africa, C. T. Rwizi is a remarkable new talent. He deftly juggles five very different protagonists; establishes a vast yet intricate new magical system unlike anything else I’ve ever seen; and unfolds stories scattered across the distant past, the chaotic present, and in entirely different planes of existence.” —Tor.com“A promising new series by a promising new author.” —Fantasy Literature
