Publisher's Summary

The King Below, Enemy of the World, is dead. Will his successor save the world...or rule it?

Jacob Riverson was once the greatest hero of an age. Cut down during what should have been the final battle against the King Below, he was condemned to centuries of torment as a Wraith Knight in the service of said monster. With the destruction of his master, Jacob finds his free will returning and discovers he is in a world torn by civil war between the King Below's former slaves and the heroes who "saved" them.

Joining forces with the overly-idealistic but brilliant warrior Regina Whitetremor, Jacob must determine whether he has any place in the new world and whether his destiny is as a hero or monster.

What a wild ride!

This was such a fantastic book! Initially it bears a big resemblance to the Lord of the rings universe. Our protagonist is defeated by a Sauron like evil, only to become a Wraith Knight (or a ring wraith).
This is where it diverges. He wakes up a few centuries later after The Lord Below is defeated.
It was such a unique plot, and so well written that I was blown away.
Aside from the beginning, it's such a unique story, I could not tell which direction it was going to go.
And it didn't follow the usual trope of Good Vs Evil, but twisted things around completely.
So much so, that I had to take a few days before writing this just so I could mentally digest what happened.
All in all, this really was a great, thought provoking listen that I feel richer for having experienced (as corny as that seems).
I was not initially fond of the narrator, but I grew to appreciate that he was a good fit for the story.
