I wanted to know more even though the book is ripe with description.Īngus, Saka and the rest of the cast of demons, warlocks and wizards are brought to startlingly clear life in this author’s hands. It was like I was almost transported to Vinland and Demonside. Please, generous author? Pretty please, may we have more? TJ Nichols has a way with words and the world building is strong. It just has to continue because I can’t see Saka and Angus’s story ending here. I stayed up all night reading this book, and I can’t wait for the next one. TJ Nichols is a new-to-me author, and I will definitely be looking into acquiring their booklist. I’m not promising anything because I am still in a book coma and in denial that it is over for now. Review: WOW! Let me try to be coherent as I review this novel.

Whatever he does, he is in the middle of a war he isn’t qualified to fight. If Angus survives his demon’s desires and the perils of Demonside, he’ll have to face the Warlock College and their demands.Īngus must choose: obey the College and forget about Demonside or trust Saka and try to fix the damage before it’s too late. Saka wants to use Angus in a ritual to rebalance the magic that is being stripped from Demonside by warlocks. Although not the way anyone expects.Īngus’s demon, Saka, is a powerful mage with his own need for a warlock. Despite Angus’s best efforts to fumble the summoning, it works. Failure means expulsion from the Warlock College. His only way out is to fail the demon summoning class. He believes draining demons for magic is evil, but it’s a dangerous opinion to have-his father is a powerful and well-connected warlock, and Angus is expected to follow the family tradition.
