Product Description: Unlikely allies Damien and Tarrant are faced with an enemy who may prove invulnerable-a demon who has declared war on mankind. Called Calesta, he is a master of illusion and devourer of pain, and he plans to remake the human species until it exists only to sate his unquenchable thirst for suffering. The war against Calesta will take Damien and Tarrant from the depths of Hell to the birthplace of demons and beyond-in a battle that could cost them not only their lives, but the very soul of mankind.
As Far Beyond A Simple Vampire Novel as You Can Get! The finale of an outstanding trilogy by C.S. Friedman, where a colony ship of humans landed onto world as unlike their native Earth as could be, where the merest thoughts, desires, hatreds, griefs are made manifest by the force later named the "fae".
This is a powerful story with memorable characters, a classic struggle good vs. evil, but first one has to define what is the greatest of evils, and what or who is behind it all?
This is a series I reread annually. I would consider the 2nd of the series one of the most heart-rending and utterly unforgettable sci-fi/fantasy books you will ever read, but the 1st and 3rd come in right behind it.
For lovers of intricately detailed worlds, clear and strongly voiced authors, building momentous action, and deep thoughts to carry away from a pleasurable reading, this is a series for you. Truly, as far beyond a simple vampire novel as you can get. Follow the titantic global struggle against external and internal evil along with Mers. Damien Vryce and Gerald Tarrant, the central characters.
Amazing Trilogy.. Classic status in my library This is such an unusual trilogy that deviates from the norm. A vampire tale steeped in magic. A vampire is paired with a Church knight on a quest. Each with their own agenda and reasons. The book has its dark and scary moments you long for, yet has the "Good will prevail" sentiment.
It been a little while since I read the trilogy. I pull it off the shelf every couple of years. This is certainly one of my favorites. Magic, Battles, and a good overall story.
