Publisher Description
Korrigan Grimm is nothing more than a pawn, caught between his father and their sworn enemy in a war without end. He has spent most of his life as the prisoner of the Sharhadua, as have his siblings. Although he is treated well, his life is not his own. And yet, Korrigan Grimm has a destiny.
As battles are lost and powers shift, his siblings are put to death, one by one, as is the tradition. His time is running out and if he is to claim his power, he must act swiftly. With the help of his only true friend, Whisper, he escapes his bondage and flees toward a father who is a stranger to him. But this is a brutal world, ruled by war and governed by battles both won and lost. Even a stolen dragon's pearl won't be enough to save him. He must reclaim his soul-binding artifacts and thus, his power.
Hunted by both sides and feared on the battlefield, Korrigan Grimm fights to reclaim his artifacts and his power. But will his power be enough? Can he somehow seize his father's power and end the war, all while keeping his friends safe? And what is the price of living forever in a world that never stops trying to kill you?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
This engrossing if formulaic grimdark adventure from the prolific Moore (The War Born), who died in 2024, provides red meat for sword-and-sorcery devotees. The eponymous protagonist is introduced looking back on his time as a prisoner of the Alhakka, a reptilian people at odds with his bloodthirsty father, Forris Grimm, who has already sacrificed the lives of Korrigan's siblings by not adhering to the terms of a truce with his foes. During his years in captivity, Korrigan became enamored of Whisper, an Alhakkan princess, who trained him to fight. When he was 19, Korrigan escaped, with the help of pearls produced from the glands of dragons, after Whisper warned him that his execution was imminent. Following a brief reunion with Forris before his death, Korrigan seeks out the mightiest dragon, the immortal Great Wyrm, to gain immortality for himself. The prose can be clunky, but there's never a dull moment as Korrigan fights battle after battle, utilizing magic to take on legions of foes. Readers looking for high fantasy with a classic feel should check this out.
