Publisher Description
When a dark power rises, only a cursed prince can stand against it.
Baleron is the youngest son of the king of Havensrike, a land eternally at war with the sinister empire of Oslog to the south, ruled by the Dark Lord himself. Baleron, a womanizer and rogue, the black sheep of the royal family one step from being kicked out of the castle, longs to redeem himself in his father's eyes. But when his beautiful sister Rolenya is seized by the dark powers, the thralls of the Dark Lord call out to Baleron in worship, calling him the Chosen One of their Master. What can they mean?
As if that weren't bad enough, the gears of war begin to turn, and the legions of Oslog pour forth from their lairs to make war upon the free peoples of the North. If Baleron can't save his sister and unlock the secret of his nature, the Dark Lord will sweep the world in shadow.

Customer Reviews
Demons, werewolves and vengeance
I didn’t finish this book. I made it about 40% into the story before realising the gruesome deaths and brutality were only getting worse, I could not stand to read any more of it. If this is the sort of fiction you like, then it it may appeal but I found it a bit too much. The characters were a bit shallow as well as the plot and failed to catch my interest.
War of The Black Tower
Thoroughly enjoyed this book.
