Deliverance will come…
A great flood once wiped clean the earth, destroying everything upon it. Before the deluge, in a time now forgotten, the world was a place of warriors and witches, conflicts between kingdoms, and, until their
extermination, dragons.
In this world, men may live centuries, fallen angels have begotten terrifying spawn, and sometimes, the best hope can be found in a brothel.
In the land of Transalpina, a new religion spreads, and important men are dying mysteriously, slain by what can only be the fire of dragon breath. Summoned by the Queen Garnet, the legendary warrior Gorias La Gaul returns to the place where he once saved the queen's young granddaughter from treachery and enslavement. The Princess Nykia is gone, and soon others may try to claim the throne. The queen has little choice but to turn to the only man who ever told her no.
With the aid of one of the queen's elite guard, the battle maiden Alena, and the young palace servant Orsen, the old mercenary will face pirates and traitors, monsters and foul magic in the quest to find the missing heir and learn the truth behind the disconcerting murders.
Deliverance will come for Gorias La Gaul, but for now there are women to love, secrets to discover, and killing that needs doing.
Review:
Overkill is a amazingly written book by Steven Shrewsbury. I enjoyed reading all about the world he has created in this series and his great characters.
I love the twists and turns in this book, not to mention all the action! Everyone that has read my blog at all knows I love fantasy books and I defiantly love ones with Dragons!!! Well this one didn't let me down on either of those. Overkill was defiantly a great read and perfect fit for me!
I also really enjoy the humor in Steven Shrewsbury's books. Perfect comedic timing!
Of course I must mention my favorite character, the hunk of this story! Gorias La Gaul. *Drool* Seriously who wouldn't love this character? I love a great rounded character as the main character of a story!! And he is just perfect.
I read this book in one day and didn't want it to end. I was starring at it stunned that it was over and wanting more pages.
Steven Shrewsbury is an incredible author and I for one will read anything written by him in the future,.
* Thanks Seventh Star Press for providing me with a copy of this great book for this tour.*
