It has all come down to this… taxes Valis’s magical abilities and stamina, forcing him to continue draining everything he can from their enemies. And as they reach their destination, Valis’s worries about his reserves only grow.
The priests in the enemy monastery are more powerful than any Valis has dealt with before. They are even able to separate him from his husband. Their Sovereign Priest, Kaphir, is an enigma, and learning his secrets leaves Valis with more questions than answers. The only thing that is certain is that if Valis fails now, the entire world will pay an unthinkable price.
This is the final book in the God Jars Saga. It is complete, and includes a bonus chapter at the end.

I’m adding this rec because the whole series is amazing. The only thing wrong with book nine is that there isn’t a book ten.
This is the conclusion to the third trilogy. The final battles are here. He’s has taken every step with determination to rescue his father. But Valis’s magical abilities have been overtaxed by trying to avoid danger. But Valis must not fail or the entire world will pay the price. I absolutely love this series, I am hooked! It is well written, with strong characters and has a fantastic story line. I am voluntarily leaving a review form an ARC that I received. My reviews are solely based on my thoughts and opinions.
The time has come for all of the hard work to be put to the test. Our characters have been developed over the course of the previous eight books, with just the addition of one pivotal new addition. As always, the story flows smoothly from the ending of Anchors, and the final battle has begun.
This book is filled with action and danger from the beginning to the denouement. Valis leads his army of Aesriphos, mercenaries, Kalutakeni, and laymen across countries riddled with Qos adherents, black magic traps, inclement weather and natural disasters, with Tavros ever loyal by his side.
With much help from his colleagues and the use of old and newly learned magic, Valis finds unconventional and often gruesome ways to get the job done. After only a year of experience with his abilities, Valis’ inexperience shows occasionally due to overuse and exhaustion, where the more experienced Reliquary guards and Aesriphos show their talents by reserving their energy much longer.
The closer the army gets to their destination, the fiercer the battles they face. Valis uses his talents of scrying and dreamwalking frequently to communicate and gain knowledge otherwise unattainable. Constant visions plague Valis along the journey, but they do provide extremely useful information.
The final battle in the Qos monastery is something to behold. The High Priest of Qos is a ghost from Thyran’s past, and puts on a beautiful façade. When Valis first faces him, the struggle is intense. The battle that follows seems insurmountable. But, the final confrontation between Valis and the Priest was ingenious; brutal, savage, and completely well deserved.
The chapters following the end of the war were very satisfying. Kerac’s long held dream comes true, and old friends and lovers are reunited. I was extremely happy to see a reunion between Valis and his only friend from the beginning of Saviors, plus the added surprise of a connection between two important people. The bonus chapter lets us know that our MCs and their dearest friends and families are well on their way to a very happily ever after.
Happy reading!
After 8 books, this book 9 in the God Jars Saga is simply, the perfect way to end everything. I have many words to describe the events on it, but all summarized in one… Epic! Really, after many adventures and misadventures, dangers, magic good and evil and so much hate, the love of Tavros and Valis and the loyalty and courage of their friends and allies helped our heroes to overcome all the obstacles to find peace. A wonderful epic magical adventure!
I received this book from Gay Romance Reviews and I am voluntarily leaving an honest opinion.
Wonderful fantasy – Can’t believe it’s over!
This has been a wonderful series. It’s hard to believe that it’s ended. Excellent writing (maybe a little detail heavy some places, but it doesn’t detract), wonderful world building, a strong family of supporting characters and an awesome plot arc. Valis has grown from a boy to a man over the volumes and has really turned into a fabulous hero.
I can’t say goodbye. I know I’ll be re-reading these to live the story all over again!
