Description

The world is at war.

The Purity a regime of living weapons and broken gods has crushed continents under banners of light and fire. Nations are gone. Faiths have withered. Dreams are a dangerous thing to carry.

Chevelle never asked to be a Saint. Chosen by an entity she barely understands, armed with powers she fears to wield, she is thrown into a war she cannot hope to win alone. Alongside a band of wounded souls a lion-hearted soldier, a flame-winged sharpshooter, a doctor with beasts for companions, and a silent giant of flesh and will. She must walk a world scarred by conquest and hopelessness.

Their journey will carve across shattered Europe and burning deserts, through the ruins of old faiths and the cages of new tyrannies. Every step forward risks madness. Every choice asks what price her soul can pay.

But Chevelle knows one truth: humanity needs to heal.

The Purity believes it has perfected the world through domination and despair. Chevelle carries the last light of rebellion.to bring this world of gods and monsters once more to rest. Hoping to unravel the great mystery behind this tragedy.

Readers can expect an engrossing plot occurring an apocalyptic future torn apart by war. Having somewhat strong religious imagery and plenty of science fiction that blurrs the lines with fantasy. The story gets philosophical, deep and often is built up with a lot of world building. But I won't shrug on the action, this is war after all. Have fun reading my works and I hope I stirr something within you with the pages I write.

★★★★ 4.0

Now this was a fascinating story to read. I wanted to know more about each individual character, and was left frustrated when little backstory was given for them. Chevelle is the most mysterious, being The Saint herself, but we never truly learn about her in the first 10 chapters (Amberstone Extras not included).
Somehow, this draws you in to read more, though.
Because the writing is consistently interesting, I'd would recommend changing to longer chapters in the 2000-3000 range. The 1000-odd words kick you out of the immersion that very easily builds up in a few paragraphs.
I was literally sighing every time as I wanted to read more, but knew that by swapping to the next chapter, my immersion would be broken by the Amberstone Extra that lay between.
I can see this being a full 5 stars in the future as the writer's style and consistency matures further.
