The third-born of a shamed family, Tarkosi's lot in life is to spend his days as a worker, feeding temperamental lancewings under a harsh master. His days in the bloodwood city of Shal Gara are full of drudgery, tedium, and pain, his own ambitions cast aside in the name of order.
That is until demons from a broken world invade the forest realm of The Swathe, and an accident born of violence and dark magic intertwines Tarkosi’s fatewith the greatest among them.
Forced onto the front lines of a war forgotten by history, Tarkosi must balance battling the royal demon bound to him with the rapid progression of the magical abilities its presence has bestowed. Risking everything, he will need to tread a thin line between hero and heretic to keep Shal Gara from falling into ruin and chaos.

Awesome New Series.

At times the pace was a little slower than I would have preferred David did a great job building out this new world, or the tiny piece of the world that this story was anchored around. A couple of teasers for future betrayal and, I suspect, heart breaks. I do hope both magic systems are more thoroughly explored in the next book, as well as more of the wider world.
Good story

Secondly to explain the title: This author is known for writing very grimdark stories where everyone is miserable so I kinda expected demons to just destroy everything and enslave and use everyone however they see fit basically right after the intro was over.
Yeah that's not what this book is about, not at all.
Instead what we've got here is a really weird case of David Estes writing an actually hopeful story where the main characters family isn't even tortured and murdered right in front of his eyes.
We've also got my favourite trope going on here: forbidden power. As you can read from the book description the main character ends with a demon lurking in his soul and as a result his magical abilities grow at an extremely rapid pace and it's executed very well.
Also this connection doesn't give him a telepathic link to the demon, he still needs to talk to it out loud, which makes him appear a bit crazy at times. It's not all bonuses either, like it's still a DEMON inside his head and it's whispering does seem like it will affect him on the long run.
He doesn't just automatically become the best wizard ever, even if he does sort of pull magic out of his ass at first. He actually struggles with spell weaving even during the big battle and at no point in this book does it feel like he's super overpowered chosen one.
So yeah, pretty great book.
Not what I expected from the author
