So we left off when the Watcher and Thren left Veldaren in order to try and put an end to the one behind the possible takeover by the sun guild. I like that the kings guard finally starts to defend their city from orcs being controlled by the called the prophet of Karak. Alyssa's son Nathinel unfortunately makes matters worse by listening to a god who would bring destruction down on the world. In the meantime, Thren goes up against is mentor and teacher with the help of the Watcher who barely survive the confrontation. I kind of figured their would be a final confrontation between Haern and his father Thren to find out once and for all who was better skilled. To those that are interested these following series also revolve around Dezerl Breaking World, Paladins, and Half-Orcs. I have only read the first book int the half orcs series.
