BLURB:
As Aesriphos Valiant, Valis needs all the support he can get. Oh, and he needs a husband, too.
Valis advanced in ranks in the holy warrior order of Aesriphos on accident. If he doesn’t find a husband soon, it could undermine the entire order because an aspirant must marry before advancing
He knows who he wants, he’s just too afraid to act on it. But as they go on a quest to help a friend, being so close to Tavros is filled with temptation Valis isn’t sure he can resist.
As they fight for their lives, Valis learns more about himself as a person and as a leader, but the challenges only keep coming, and some of them have a price that just might be too high to pay.
The M/M romantic elements in God Jars is a very slow burn. The God Jars Saga contains explicit material including violence, abuse, and M/M sexual encounters, and is not advised for anyone under the age of 18.
REVIEW:
I can’t believe how much this series gets better by the book. Although I am not happy how this one ended. Cliffhangers…grrr. But it’s been amazing to watch Valis grow and become such a strong leader. Even with his doubts and fears, he sees how everyone needs his words. It’s humbling for him, and amazing to see how much he’s grown.
They are on the journey to catch the caravan. When they get there, the caravan are under attack from a Qos priest and mercenaries. They quickly jump in to help and in the end, come out victorious. But then again, taking a life is never a win. They bury the dead and get a visit from the priest and more mercenaries that starts this whole mess. Valis takes on the priest and puts him in stasis and when the mercenaries realize who they had actually worked for, they made their apologies and quickly pledged their allegiance to Valis and his crew. It’s rough going because trust has to be earned, but they more than prove themselves. Especially when Valis sees he has a hit out on him and his fathers are slated for immediate capture. When they reach a village that the Qos people have overrun, Roba continues to teach Valis what he needs to know to defeat them. And they do. It’s not an easy battle. The villagers lost many, but they grieve and start to move on. And now they make their journey home. There’s a lot to be shared and to go over. Prisoners to interview, reports to be given and such. But for now it’s a time for cleanliness and rest. And hope and pray, Valis’s fathers are still alive. Because his visions are leaving him scared.
Valis has more than proved how much he’s grown in this book. He’s become a natural born leader. He’s learning, as well as his father, how to make their existences blend within each other and his father has finally proven himself to be worthy to be called father. This book is all about growing and learning. It’s learning your place and making it yours. And Valis is becoming more confident every day. With the help of his friends, his now lover/mentor, and those new people who have pledged their loyalties and devotion to him. He’s proven, even when scared, he will leave no one behind. He will jump in the fray. He thinks things through to cause minimal damage. But the kindness of his spirit has also shown how compassionate and kind he is. He just has a way to speak to people that make them want to listen and do as he asks. It’s been an amazing thing to watch with him.
This series is just…wow. I can’t wait to dog into the next one.
