His life changes when he arrives in the city of Dawnbreak; he takes on a job expecting it to be like every other but finds himself caught up in something that runs far deeper than he'd ever imagined.A dark and harrowing path lies ahead for Kieran and his new friends, and death could strike from behind any corner; in this attention-grabbing fantasy adventure, find out if Kieran, watched by forces unknown, is able to dispel the deep-rooted corruption.

This book is being written with the intent to publish digitally and in paperback/hardcover. Volume 1 is complete, and already published.

What To Expect:

- Mentally strong, confident main character.

- A style of writing geared toward a general adult audience. This story is not for children. This book will contain violence, death and adult sexual situations (not graphic).

- The world of Arthos is like if you mixed Skyrim with Red Dead. A "high fantasy, steampunk Roman Empire", if you will.

- A world full of fox-folk; various fox species, complete with in-depth lore. The foxes are anthro (humanoid).

- Prophecies and elemental powers. Mythological and deity themes.

- High stakes adventures.

- Progression; the characters show progression slowly.

- Talking dragons. Come on, what could be better than that?

What Not To Expect:

- Smut, descriptive sex scenes, etc.

- A goofy animal story.

- Plot armor.

- A cliché story.

★★★★★ 4.5
Overall Score: 4.5/5. It's a good read all things considered. So far the plot has just started but that's kind of the issue of reviewing early. Anything under 20,000 words kind of leaves you wondering what the story is about, but I'd say it looks interesting.
Style: 4.5/5. This story is one that is straightforward in its delivery. There isn't much description which can be either good or bad depending on how you look at it. I may prefer a bit of description but I'm glad it's not some long description of drying paint that goes on for paragraphs like some other stories I've read. I'll bring up the fact that the people of this world are foxes. It doesn't have much of an effect other than character appearances style so far. One complaint I have are that the characters are a bit too subdivided as some are split off to meet the upload a day. I'd actually recommend uploading less frequently with longer chapters, anywhere between one chapter every other day to once a week as it's annoying when one scene is split into three chapters without much reason for spreading it across chapters.
Story: 4.5/5. This is the story of a bounty hunter who has come across a mysterious woman being chased by criminals who are almost certainly up to something larger and more dangerous than it seems. It's just beginning but I can tell that it's going to be large-scale.
Grammar: 5/5. No grammar flaws here other than one chapter having the return key pressed at the wrong time, but that's an easy fix.
Character: 4/5. Not much has been revealed about most characters yet. There's Kieran, the bounty hunter who believes in truth and justice but is cynical after the tragedies he has gone through. There's Tessa, a mysterious woman who secretly has some special powers she hardly knows about and it means everyone is after her. Out of the two main characters, I only know the characterization of Kieran so far. Undoubtably, Tessa will start being characterized, but so far it's a bit too early.
