Story4.5 out of 5 stars 90
Five hundred years ago, brother gods devastated their world with civil war. When they were imprisoned, their conflict ended without a victor. Centuries passed while their followers secretly continued the war, a war that will soon have an end. The gods have found their paragons. When half-bloods Harruq and Qurrah Tun pledged their lives to the death prophet Velixar, they sought only escape from their squalid beginnings. Instead they become his greatest disciples, charged with leading his army of undead.

Publisher's Summary
“Trust, lies, truth, and sanity no longer matter when you deal with a fanatic. Don’t pretend to understand Valessa. Don’t think you know why she does what she does. She’s not just unfinished; she’s a broken thing, and it’s the broken pieces that are most likely to cut when you touch them.”
The war in the north is coming to an end, but more and more it seems neither brother, Arthur nor Sebastian, will end as the true victor. The priest Luther rallies an army of Karak, his aims unclear. Further north, Cyric continues to proclaim himself a god, and his followers are many. Caught between two enemies, Darius and Jerico must stand together to prevent the destruction of everything they hold dear.
And the key to their victory might be someone sworn to kill them both. Even the strongest can break before a furious god.

What a great finish to an awesome series
I must say that I live Dalglish’s writing. His fantasy novels are reminiscent of the dragonlance stories o cut my teeth on as a kid. This is the 4th installment (final?) in the paladin series. It brings to a conclusion the battle of Ashur and Carak’s orders. The last two paladins of ashur against Carak’s order. There is also the battle within that order of two of its priests with different ideologies. Both of which threaten the future of the world. All I can say is “Damn!” This is a fast paced and action packed ride to the finish that has twists and turns that will leave you breathless and I’ll be damned if I don’t finish the story without a few tears in my eyes. Get the first 3 then come back here and get this one too. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator or publisher
