Smoke rises from the ruins of fallen kingdoms. Forgotten
secrets have been revealed. In the darkness of the world, Lucifer’s army grows.
The quest of the book-bearers grows even more perilous when
Isaac and his companions discover that ancient enemies have risen from the
Heart of Elysium, seeking to snatch the Book of Letters from their hands. The
Nephilins are now aided by Xavier, one of the Fallen Rulers. Villages have been
brought to the ground by armies of Shadows. Creatures from the Abyss now lurk in
the mountains and forests, longing to kill whoever crosses their path.
Isaac and his companions must find courage to overcome their
fears as they continue their journey throughout Elysium.
I was about
to head out the door when a chill shot up my leg. There was a cold grasp around
my ankle that pulled my body. I thudded to the floor. My eyes darted over my
shoulder and saw a black shadow shaped like a man. My heart skipped a beat as I
caught sight of its skeletal hands tightened around my left ankle.
I tried to
land a kick on the creature, but my feet sank under its shadow. With great
strength, it lifted me off the ground and cast my body against the roof. A
sharp pain spread through my back. Ballard, Demetre, and Petra flocked into the
room.
The
grotesque being released a growl once it saw them. I managed to stand to my
feet as fast as I could.
“What in
the name of Elysium is that?” Ballard unsheathed his sword.
I limped my
way to my companions, feeling a sharp pain in my chest. I watched as both of
the creature’s skeletal hands turned into arms, each equipped with
four-fingered hands. At the tip of each finger was a sharp, curved claw. The
creature’s bones slithered beneath its brown skin while its body took a shape
similar to that of a dragon. Its elongated skull had a thin snout. Wings
appeared on its back, expanding to almost twice the size of the creature’s thin
tail.
The
creature lowered its head, growling as it crawled to its left. Its golden eyes
trailed across the room. The pain in my leg worsened as I watched it raise its
body. It let out a loud roar.
This is a non-stop war, with the most
horrifying creatures you can imagine coming out of an abyss. No one is ever
safe and the diary holders are being searched for at every turn. Isaac and the
others don’t ever stop running, can’t stop running, as things prey on their
mind and souls. Lucifer is coming…..for them. Will they manage to find a way to
defeat Lucifer within themselves? How many more will give into the temptation
of false peace? Stay tuned….
I love J.D. Netto’s books, they are all I
could want in a fantasy setting, providing me with the horrors my mind craves.
I do recommend this book to other fantasy lovers, it is a wonderful book. More
to come too, I am eagerly awaiting the next, cannot wait to see more, am trying
to be patient. Sigh! I have absolutely no trouble picturing everything in this
book, am right there beside them all as it happens. I hate to come back out
into my ordinary world when I finish reading. Mr. Netto is a wonderful author
with the ability to engage the mind’s eye while telling his story. Many thanks
to him for allowing me to read and review his second book, it is a book lovers
dream come true.
J.D.Netto (Jorge de Oliveira Netto) is brazilian-born.
Raised in Framingham, MA, J.D.Netto always had an eye for epic fantasy and
story-telling. At an early age, he had the habit of locking himself in his
room, turning on any soundtrack he could find, and there he would write for
hours.During his senior year in High School, J.D.Netto had an idea that changed
his life, 'What if Lucifer had a Diary? What if the Diary was a secret? What if
the secret was a reality?' These simple questions led him to write for six
consecutive years, researching, perfecting his craft, and creating the world of
Elysium. All the promotional visuals for the series were designed by J.D.Netto,
proving that he is not only a writer, but an innovative visual designer.
