Allistor just wants to restore the human race. He’s doing his best with the resources he’s gathered to locate other survivors around the world and unite them. His intentions are good, and he pushes hard. The drake eggs are hatching, and his people have dreams of both a murder chicken cavalry and a drake-mounted air force. A small army of class trainers are helping to make his citizens stronger than ever, better able to survive the hazards of their new reality.
But fate, and the aliens who keep throwing stronger and more deadly challenges at him, are working against Allistor. The threat of vengeance from the Fomorian Matron, the machinations of Loki and Hel, and the jealousy of a fellow human with a lesser noble title, all add to the pressure.
When seeming good fortune turns to tragic loss, Allistor must push through and remain strong in order to face the very beings responsible for the apocalypse on earth. The murderers of humanity.
And in this confrontation, even victory has dire consequences.

*Full disclosure: I received an advanced copy for review. I purchased a copy when it became available.
Another highly entertaining entry in the Shadow Sun series. The scope of the story is only getting bigger as more territory comes under the control of the MC and his faction. But becoming more powerful means that bigger enemies show up to and the author has no qualms about killing off beloved characters. The story has several good antagonists and a setup of a mysterious new one for future stories. But I liked how some major figures finally got taken down and only wonder where the series goes from here.
Action, adventure, and territory expansion are the big highlights of the series and this isn’t any different. Good stuff.
Score: 7.8 out of 10
