It has all come down to this…

The final battles are upon him. Every decision, every step Valis has taken has led him to this moment. All the heartache, pain, and training have driven him halfway across the continent to rescue his father and the final god jar.

Valis and his friends rush toward their destiny, bound together in their quest. But avoiding dangers on their journey 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. 

REVIEW:

I swear it feels like years since I’ve been waiting for this book lol 😉 . But man, was it worth the wait! I’m not going to lie, there were moments where I wondered if the story was going to take a different turn. Yes, inevitably, there would be an HEA, but how much of one? So, yeah, you’ll see what I mean. And if you haven’t read the rest of this series, go do so now. You need to read them all in order. If you have read this series, this one will blow you away.

Valis has grown so much since his journey to Avristin. From the abused, awkward man child, to the grown man he is today. And he still is learning more. There’s a constant well of knowledge he is learning from and it’s about to take every bit he knows plus some to get through what he and his team are about to endure. They are going to end this, no matter the outcome, the Qos has to go down. It has to end. And if that means Valis goes down with it, then so be it. It’s time for things to be as they should be. But Valis is going up against magic of the likes he’s not really seen before and it’s taking all he can to keep everyone alive and going. Especially himself and Tav. And even he has to admit, he needs a little help. And it comes from something he never expected. But if they are to make it out alive, including his father, then it’s time to dig deeper than he’s even dug. And pray, it works.

I remember from book 1, the awkward child that was brought to Avristin. So full of anger and hurt at the way his life had turned out. He wanted nothing more than to be able to kill his father, his uncle and all those who had wronged him. But thankfully, he was saved by two men that are now his fathers in every way but blood. They’ve brought him up and he has surpassed everyone’s expectations by far. Even himself. He never thought he’d be as strong and as powerful as he is. And I have to say, as a parent myself, I’m very proud of how far he’s come. He could have taken what was done to him and turned very dark. There’s been many times it’s been a close call. But the love of his fathers and his friends and now husbands, kept him in balance when he needed it the most. And that’s when he realized how much of so much he needed. It wasn’t just about magic, it was about family as well. Trust and love and the will to do justice. He’s come such a long way and this book could not have ended on a more perfect note.

I really am sad that it’s over. It’s been such an amazing journey watching not just Valis, but everyone grow. Even his teachers and mentors. Valis has surpassed anything anyone could have thought of because he never gave up, even when he wanted to. He knew he needed to fight harder and longer and be all he could be, even at the worst of times. And for it, he now has everything his heart desires. It’s not been an easy journey and I bawled through a lot of it. But it’s an amazing series and I’m so so happy I was given a chance to read them. You guys are missing out if you don’t read these books.
