Back home in Bartertown once more, Mihalis is working on advancing his plans to turn Bartertown into the kind of place where the rich and powerful come to make those special deals that they prefer to do out of sight of both the public and certain governments. He's also spending a fair deal of his time over at HoJo's, where Talin and Caitin's sisters are still very interested in him. Now if only he would stop being ambushed by assassins afterwards — it's definitely becoming quite annoying.

Uncle Steve's campaign is still a thing, and he might have to put in another appearance with Black and White before it's over, but right now he's become intrigued by a rumor that seems to be circulating around the djevels. Something about a new djevel prince. One that not only has learned to survive here in this new world, but one who's learned to thrive in it.

A certain incubus lord who apparently happens to be him.

For Mihalis, and the lions, this could be something of a game changer. Dealing with the djevels has been proving to be more difficult than first imagined - they're a lot craftier and more cunning than originally thought. So if Mihalis were to encourage this idea, it could be helpful. However there's a possible downside to this whole affair as well. To be a djevel prince Mihalis would have to take their oaths, and taking their oaths ties him directly into their power pool.

And no one knows just what the affects of Mihalis touching that would be...

WARNING: Under the advise of council I'm not supposed to talk about -REDACTED- or -REDACTED- and how the initial trials of -REDACTED- with his new -REDACTED- performed. However I can tell you that 'Beware of Darkness' does contain more of the -REDACTED- that you've come to -REDACTED-. So, remember that! And don't say you weren't warned! (Note: No -REDACTED- were -REDACTED-, -REDACTED- chandelier -REDACTED-)

There really isn't a lot to say at the moment, but I'll try to mention a few things. First, the warnings about what kind of a book it is? Please read those. Because it's kind of sad to see people complaining about a book containing Harem and Violence and adult situations when it says right in the blurb that those things are in the story.

Yes I work for a living, yes I have worked in some very odd industries (entertainment included), yes I will try to write more stories. No I'm not the next great American literature writer, sorry, I just want to have fun (is there anything wrong with that?) and entertain people. I'll see about a blog or a webpage one of these days, if people are interested.

Thank you for buying my books, the number of people who have bought them is quite surprising.

If three stars wasn't considered a bad review, I would give the book three stars.

SPOILERS AHEAD!

OK, Sean did some epically stupid things, but they were almost always spur of the moment.

Mihalis on the other hand gets advice from his wives, his mom's, his dad, The First and his wives, and others he trusts then does the most epically stupid thing he can and plans to expound upon it.

After discovering that he is in fact a Djevel Prince by taking the oath of what is probably the weakest possible Djevel alive that could swear to him, a lordless, broken, Biskop with no purpose left to live for, he then takes Hengity's oath. This affects him initially a bit.

Deciding he is fine after only a few days, he takes Lord Ennakoida's oath. So no checks for long term effects by any of the succubi, Jolene, any of the mind mages. No intermediate steps of finding a more powerful Biskop or other Djevel to check the effects. He, with all the maturity of an 18 year old, dives in head first. And then sends off entreaties to the other independent Djevel Lords.

So The First, the oldest sentient being alive, and his wives, whom are much wiser than he is; Sean, who has experience doing epically stupid things; Cali, his somewhat overprotective mother; and everyone else put in some minimal protections and let him run rampant.

Now there seems to be some serious problems, and if these just "magically" go away in the next book, I believe that I will give up on the series.

Up until this point I think the overall series is much better than Sean's, but it could easily jump the shark.

We have been here reading for a while and we are still having a great time. The books following Mihalis have been my favorite so far good to be back.

Very interesting. I in no way saw the middle or end of the book coming. Things are definitely changing for Mihalis.

A spin-off at least as good as the original!

Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2023

Few authors are brave enough to truly grow their characters. Fewer still are good enough to do it repeatedly, interestingly, and with characters strong enough to capture your initial interest yet flawed enough to make those changes fascinating. Sean's original saga showed that level of development, taking a truly clueless protagonist through a series of changes that generated one of the most riveting series I've read. Stryvant has made the stories of Sean's children equally interesting, indeed to the point where I get angry at the pace with which he produces the next volume.

Anyone familiar with my reviews knows I read a lot and value good storytelling above anything else. Character development is a close second, and when I find an author who generally does both very well I hang on to him: Stryvant is absolutely such an

This book started great, then it to a turn I never saw coming. Blown away is all I can really say without spoilers, honestly I wouldn't know where to begin. If you have read the prior entries then just wait, Mihalis has done something wild, the consequences we have yet to see. My mind is going a mile a minute speculating about the possibilities and where it's going, and now I'm stuck chewing on these ideas while I wait for the next installment. I haven't been this excited for the next book in a series in a long time, and I think those who enjoy these books will feel the same!

Edit* I went read the description of the book that I didn't read at the beginning lol, I guess it was a twist for me and maybe not others but it was still awesome lol

If you're looking for a book with awesome characters and a beyond great story, then look no further than the Valens Heritage series. You will not regret starting this series, and if you feel you need to know how it all started, then pick up Black Friday and learn how the Valens Legacy series will suck you into a MOST EXCELLENT READ!

Mike has grown up and jumped off into the deep end. This was another well written book and it has introduced a whole lot of issues for the family. I was completely against what they all agreed to because I saw some of the issues during the test run. I wonder how they are going to get out of this mess.

Yet another great installment in what can easily be called a genre defining series

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 24, 2023

I realise this is less of a review and more a rant, but if you're here reading this... if you ended up here by accident, go back to Valens Legacy, read the whole thing then the previous 6 of Heritage. And if you're here because you read the previous ones and want reinforcement in picking up this one..: HELL YEAH, IT'S AWESOME.

My only real complaint: its much too short. Also, one or two more smut scenes would be nice, Jan Stryvant is really good at those and with the plot there was deffo room for more. :)

Now...
Aa the title says, this is yet another great book in the Valens Universe. We're back to Mihalis' story and boy is it a trip! One of the best parts about the series is the world building, the magic and different creatures in it are well thought out, consistent and absolutely riveting. In this book we learn more about the djevels, their power structure, their nature and most importantly to the story, the consequences of being what they are.
I honestly can't wait for book 9, yeah I'm skipping 8 because if the author follows the patter it'll be about someone else, and what the fallout of Mihalis' decisions from this installment will be. I'm sure no. 8 will be as interesting, as so far only book 2 I found lacking (still good, just... meh) so I'm hoping it won't be about SJ, maybe more Troy or even the terror twins (that'd be fun, and possibly more full of goblins).

Some New Twists

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 19, 2023

Verified Purchase

Having written over a dozen books focusing on Sean Valens Senior, Jan's approach in the Valens Heritage series of switching between the children certainly helps keep things fresh. There are some developments in this one I certainly didn't see coming.
BUT, it could have done with another proof read to catch the remaining typos.

Mihalis is finding out who and what he really is and what that means.

Reviewed in Canada on February 16, 2023

The seventh in the series, this book covers Mihalis starting to come into his true power and trying to get a grasp of, and control of what that really means for him. Things look easy at first until they aren't. Developments in this book have both the First and Sean concerned about how things will play out. There's a lot of things coming down the pipe and Sawyer's involved so you should have an idea how fun that's going to be! Really enjoyed this latest book in the series!

I really love this series especially the Mihalis books. Poor thing I felt bad for him with how everything ended. Also what's going on with him and his half-sister Cinnamon??? Will they? Won't they?
