The great king of the undead, Vlad, has decided that his youngest sons, Van and Fyr take wives, bear children of their own, then accept the gift of the gods to become undead as well. Only one will become king and only when he defeats Vlad in a battle to the death. However, Van and Fyr have no interest in this path for reasons of their own. Follow the story of Van, Fyr, Vlad, and the house of Ei.
I received a copy of this eBook from the author in exchange for an honest review. You may remember two of these characters from book one. One of which played a bigger part than the other, but they were both within it. That isn't to say you need to read these in order. In fact I strongly suggest reading this book before book one. This shows the background of the antagonist in book one and the helpful character for the curse breaker.
This book doesn't even mention the curse breaker until the epilogue and leads directly into where book one begins. You can read these in order then jump back in time with book two to get this history lesson. It is completely up to you.
As with book one all of the characters are humanoid animals and the scenery descriptions are impeccable. You can tell where and with whom you are with as the story progresses, even as it jumps perspectives from one chapter to the next. You can see how the characters are developing and what drove them to the place they were at in book one.
While we did not get any further with the storyline we had initially begun in book one I believe this additional insight into the Ourak was helpful to the main plot taking place.
This book is not currently on Amazon for some reason. At least not with sale price. If I find out where it is available I will update this. For now, you can check on the Amazon page to see if this status has since changed by clicking here.
