What an awesome book!! Im a HUGE Jim Butcher fan and I was impressed with Shannons style of writing, the plot, characters, and all the amazing visuals I got along the way!!

The book is about a war against the Sentinels and the Synestryn, and how the different races within the Sentinels trys to put a stop to the evil forces that want to take over earth.

Its a very interesting plot and leaves the story line open for more characters and more books. This particular book has a love story about Helen and Drake. She doesnt know that she is a direct descendant of the Theroani, a race that has mostly males and hardly any females. The males need the females to draw off their powers and ease their pain. The males have these tattoos on them of a tree that is embedded into their very souls. Once the last leaf falls off they lose their soul and only a female can make the leaves gown back.

There is also another race within the Sentinels, the Sanguinar, (one named Logan has a part in this book) and Drake calls them the Blood Suckers. They sound like vampires but I dont think they like to be called that. I could see how there could be another series about that particular race!

Theres a lot to go on in this book which makes me excited to read more!!!
