Darkness Reigns
The god of the soil is furious. Volcanic eruptions, sinkholes, earthquakes--everything points to his unhappiness. At least this is what the people of Armania in the Five Realms believe.
Amidst the unsettling state of the world around them, the princes of Armania live their lives focused more on who will claim the throne after their sickly father, King Echad, dies. That is until Prince Wilek's concubine turns up dead--beside her, a bloodied message that seems to have come from the mother realms
I downloaded Darkness Reigns for free (from Kobo) without realizing that this wasn't in fact the first book in the series, it was the first third of the first book. This meant I was quite surprised whem left with a cliffhanger, a murder just took place but we don't get to find out who did it or why. But then it was free after all.
However, though I enjoyed the story well enough, I'm not sure it hooked me enough to pay for the rest of the series. It has good world building, interesting range of characters, and it was building up to something that had a lot of promise.
