Xeal and friends continue their journey to the top of Eternal Dominion. However, as Xeal searches out potential leaders for his guild and bolsters its ranks, others are moving as well. Will he and his guild weather the storm, or will they lose their footing and be stopped before they can even really begin?
Author’s Note: Yes, I begin to introduce romantic complications in this book; yes, Alex’s/Xeal’s relations will become more complex and integral to the plot of this series as it goes on. No, I will not be writing any smut scenes; I will set up things and skip all the details (my 73-year-old mother reads these, and yeah, enough said). I hope you all understand that for Alex/Xeal, having a meaningful relationship was something that escaped him in his first life, and this time around he is going to try to make it work sometimes a bit too hard.

Icky.
A forty year old man hooks up with two eighteen year olds with little to no build-up. It was very uncomfortable to listen to, even if there was no explicit sex scene. The ending chapter literally had a line about how the main character walked away from combat holding their hands and how natural it felt. It ruined anything good about the story. Production quality is great, though.
Needs a Rewrite
Not a bad story, but it has too much tell and not nearly enough show. These stories feel far too short and rushed because of this issue. The other issue is word choice, honestly the author really needs to pick up a thesaurus. If you're listening to this story for the first time get ready to hear the word ecstatic at least three time a chapter. Over all, an interesting concept that fails utterly in execution.
Action
the story had great action hope we get more books like that in the series. Loved the Audio to this book can't wait for the rest to come out
