My review:

I really enjoyed reading this fantasy novel. As Joshua's debut novel, he's done a fantastic job. The story was excellent, and was extremely easy to follow, so detailed, and i am looking forward to the second installment.

After the tragic loss of his parent's death, he soon finds it was no accident, and his parent's were far from the average citizen they portrayed to be.

Soon those he trusts can no longer be trusted, and discover both the good and the evil want him for their side... Which side will he choose, and what powers does he hold, you will be captivated to the end.
