In the twilight realm of Daeva Shudra, there dwells an ancient race of demons. Once the most powerful beings on earth, the Daeva must hide in their underground city or be burned to ashes by the sun. The world above belongs to mortals now, inferior creatures with limited abilities for magic, easy prey for demonkind.

Between the two races comes Orziel, a half-breed strugglin In the twilight realm of Daeva Shudra, there dwells an ancient race of demons. Between the two races comes Orziel, a half-breed struggling to survive the deadly schemes of his immortal kin. His only weapons are his vicious beauty and ruthless cunning.

Otherwise, he is powerless and despised. But lack of power doesn't check Orziel's pride or ambition. All his life he's lied, seduced, and betrayed to get whatever he's wanted, including his lover, the demon prince Asheru. When Empress Shebazael claims Asheru as her own, Orziel swears he'll do whatever it takes to take back what's his, regardless of the consequences. The half-demon travels to the surface, in search of a mortal sorcerer to aid him in his quest.

But things go awry when Orziel seduces Jarresh, a beautiful youth with no magic beyond his capacity for love. Will Orziel stand by the only person who's ever truly cared for him, or will he betray Jarresh to carry out his revenge?

Usually I like to ramble on about setting and other things that make up a book, but there's so little point here. Setting is a desert place, and an underground world and None of it matters.

All the characters are abominable. They can all be arranged into two categories - those who react to the world like they've had forced celibacy since the day they were born, and those who inspire and sate the lust of these cretins with the ease of incubi and succubi. None of them are good Why did I read this?

None of them are good people.

They are, in fact, composed entirely of vices and malice. Nobody has their feelings resolved, just trod on. The plot is there, but it depends upon the revolting nature of Orziel, the main character. I'm really surprised they managed anything at all; I assumed they lived permanently in bedrooms. There is no romance.

See a Problem?

Very methodical writing, and a pain to try and understand. I was confused after only two pages, and then made to shudder countless times afterwards. It loves its adjectives. So, why did I read this? I did stop after a while, but I came back to it and finished it. Morbid fascination, perhaps, or curiosity about the interesting ending another reviewer mentioned it wasn't worth it in the slightest. Ever been so disturbed by something that you stick with it until the end, just to see how much it can displease you?

Regret every moment of it. Feb 11, Lisabet Sarai rated it it was amazing. Writing fantasy is a tricky business. You need to offer your readers wonders while still presenting a consistent and believable world. You must be daring and creative but still comprehensible. A million tired plot devices lurk, waiting to suck you into a quagmire populated by Middle Earth clones.
