Not everyone managed to survive the bloody battle. The strong, the brave, the courageous, and the good all fell with honor. The war spared few and took away many of the best . . .
Hadjar Darkhan was one of the few who survived and is now ready to continue his journey. The battle is over, and the dead have been sent on their last journey. The unknown and the perils of the imminent war are still waiting for Hadjar. He can sense that his life is about to be filled with the clang of weapons and armor and the beating of war drums. He hates war! But he also longs for it . . . Is there anything worse than war and battle?
Maybe. . .
The endless political maneuvering of the two Empires, which they are trying to draw Hadjar into, is definitely not what he needs right now, especially after losing his loyal companion and true friend in battle. A friend he realized he had only after his death . . .

A clear drop in quality. Hajar's soul mate feels forced. There's no visible connection between the two besides the very commonplace descriptions of her beauty. It felt as meaningful as when you pick which female lead you're going to 'romance' at the start of an rpg: extremely arbitrary.Hajar's new life choice similarly feels forced. Suddenly his many oaths are forgotten, the apocalyptic event not worth worrying about and even discussing his new plan with his soul mate (who'd definitely not go for it) is postponed. Again, extremely forced.After so much setup for a life partner and the milquetoast reveal, fridging her is an extremely uncharacteristically lazy, underwhelming and quick resolution to that. That, combined with the poor courtship, leads me to believe that the either can't or won't do romance, leading to this book entirely falling flat. There's more emotional weight to be found in an arranged marriage and the author seems to mistake sex for emotional connection.
