In Kim Alexander’s stunning debut novel, two worlds are at war, until a Door is put in place to close all contact between them. Rhuun is the Prince of Eriis, next in line to the throne. However, he has always felt out of place in the world of demons, because he looks different and can feel pain. On the other side of the Door, human time goes by much faster than in Eriis. When Rhuun finds a book from the human lands in the palace library, he latches on to it, to the point where he is seen as even more odd than he already was. When demon Queen Hellne’s past comes to light, Rhuun is directly affected, and he must run to escape it.
Holy heck, I loved this book so much! Alexander created such a lush and enticing world that completely draws the reader in. I loved Rhuun’s character development across the course of the novel as well. And I absolutely adored the contrast between Lelet and Aelle. All in all, I completely recommend this novel, and I can’t wait to read the rest of the series!
Alexander does a wonderful job of building two worlds and crossing seamlessly between them. Strong character development makes for a compelling read and I would recommend checking out the story for yourself!
5 CRANKY STARS
This is a story of two races- the humans who live in Mistra and the demons who live in Eriis. A magical door separates the two countries/dimensions. The author has a done a wonderful job of creating two very believable worlds and races. This is a can’t put it down type of story that leaves one wanting to know more about these characters.
The door between the two worlds has been opened for centuries. However, only tradesmen go through the door. A human group called the guardsmen keep the door open. The demons have magic but the humans do not. There is very little trust and much suspicion. Then, one night, the Ambassador is called to Mistra and his aide must return with him. Unbeknown to both sides, the aide has fallen in love with the Demon Princess and she with him. The humans unleash an unknown weapon and seal the door. Eriis is decimated and the royal court has disappeared except for the Princess. Time now moves at a different pace in the two worlds. Mistra is green and alive while Eriis has become a dust bowl unable to see the sun or moons.
In Eriis, a child is born who is quite ugly by Demon standards. He is the son of their Princess but hated for his deformities. He has no fire and no wings. He found a book in the library when he was younger and longs to go to the human world. He wants to meet the author and live the life in the book. Little does he know that 100 years have passed in Mistra and only 20 years in Eriis. When he is pulled through the Door to save his life, nothing is as he expected. Then he meets Lelet and his world is turned upside down. They travel to the Door to get answers and possibly return to his home. He was only suppose to be in Mistra a short time but months have gone by with no word. What will he find when he returns? The ending leaves one waiting for the next book.
