With the Book of Origins firmly in his possession, the villainous Astaroth now has the power to reshape history at will. Plucking pivotal discoveries from mankind's past, he has reduced the world to a preindustrial nightmare. But while most humans toil as slaves within the four demonic kingdoms, Astaroth allows those at Rowan to thrive in peaceful isolation. Theirs is a land where magic and nature flourish...so long as none dare oppose the new order.
That proves too steep a price for Max McDaniels. Unsure of his place at Rowan and reeling from tragedy, Max sets out to explore the shifting landscape of a world that has been changed beyond recognition. In the course of his travels, he will be forced to be many things: Prisoner. Gladiator. Assassin. But can he become the hero that mankind so desperately needs?

3/7/13 ** Well, I'm not done reading this yet, but I'm thoroughly intrigued with the world. I appreciate the way that Neff shows Max's growth, both in a physical sense (he's shaving now) and emotionally. He's realizing that having people under one's care and for whom one is responsible might change...
2.5 stars.The last chapter was by far the best part of this book. The rest was forgettable and dull.
I love this series, its like Harry Potter met Grimm's Fairy Tales. Lines blur where good isnt pure lilly white and evil might triumph over a fight but hopefully wont win the war.
