As Commander of the king’s army, Kegan Leopold’s greatest challenge is not to protect his king, but to kill him. Fueled by his distrust for the king’s magic, and fearing for the safety of the entire kingdom, Kegan has done everything in his power to assassinate his king, only to find failure at every turn. But Kegan’s luck is about to change. In the midst of another failed plot, Kegan finds a dangerous ally, and the unlikely opportunity to kill the very man he was oath-sworn to protect.
Well-paced with engaging characters and a story that keeps you reading. I'm truly looking forward to seeing more of Ika Koeck's writing. Keep your eyes peeled, folks - this author is one to watch!
A good story from a good author. If you like dark fantasy this is definitely for you. Koeck has written an engaging story, with believable characters and an interesting twist at the end. It's a story that leaves the reader hungry for more! Definitely keep an eye out for Ika Koeck!
I really enjoyed this novella, and I hope it's part of a larger setting that the author will explore further in future stories and novels. There are a few very minor formatting issues, but they don't detract from the story at all.
