Publisher's summary

How much blood is one man worth?

Terrence Mack has succeeded in keeping his freedom, but at what cost?

The Vicereine of Florence is dead. The city she ruled has fallen to chaos, under assault by both Twilight Zone agents and a seemingly unstoppable dragon determined to claim the template's power for herself.

In shouldering responsibility for the crisis, Terry has taken it upon himself to break the siege or die trying. With the help of his friends and the women he loves he may just have what it takes to hold the darkness - and the obsessed - at bay.

Yet the power of a template is poorly understood, and for some it comes at a terrible price. As Terry forges ahead, dire consequences force him to question the value of one man's life, weighed against the havoc wrought for his sake. Moving from one costly battle to the next, he is left struggling to save not just the lives of the innocent but his own immortal soul.

Warning: This audiobook does not pan to waving curtains and fade to black. Those uninterested or under the age of 18 are strongly warned of explicit content.

Every bit as good as the first.

I praised the first book rightfully so for being just as amazing as the narrator they paired with it. Nothing has changed. Still EPIC.

WTF

The story is good, but WTF is the author's issue with killing off new harem women. Seriously, even when they won't join the party, dead! There are only two, but dang. They could have been left alone instead of killed off.

Good story over the top crude language

This book was captivating and well crafted but I docked a star for over the top crude language. It was not needed in such profundity to get across the point

Beholder and dragon and spiders, oh my!

Volume two advanced the story and held my interest throughout. Terry Mack with his female lovers are committed to stopping the Twilight Zone from overrunning Celestine. After eliminating the Vicereine of Florence it was only a matter of time before the next Champion appeared to destroy Florence and eliminate Terry. Unfortunately, the next one happens to be a huge dragon. Meantime, Terry is still flummoxed by the what, why, where questions of his present situation. Stay tuned to find out if Terry, together with his friends and followers will overcome the dragon, the Spider Queen, and the demonic horde from the Twilight Zone.

Both fighting and sexual

A must read, but when you do read it in private. Enjoy before it ends.

Such a great series

The harem fantasy genre in general is really taking off right now but this is definitely one of the standout series. The main character is likeable and flawed, which makes him more relatable. And all the other ancillary characters really flesh out the world. Narrator is top notch.
