Review: Deathless (Annals Of The GodEater Trilogy #1) by Rob J. Hayes

April 28, 2024 by Alan Behan Leave a Comment

Rating: 10/10

Synopsis

Seven were the Godless Kings who took their war to Heaven.

King Ertide Hostain was once known as the Crimson Prince. He fought side by side with angels and pegasi and defended the Sant Dien Empire against monsters. But his pact with Heaven has become strained. He has grown old, his body rots, and he has yet to choose which squabbling prince will be his heir.

The Hostain dynasty has ruled over the empire for millennia, but when Ertide finds cryptic notes from his dead father, he realises not all is as it seems. Has history been rewritten? And if so, what is heaven hiding?

Immortality has a price, and it is paid in blood.

A new epic fantasy saga full of angels, demons, and mystery, from award-winning author, Rob J. Hayes. Perfect for fans of Brandon Sanders, John Gwynne, and Ryan Cahill.

Review

Let the feast begin. Damn that was dark political fantasy at its finest, absolutely gripping stuff from start to finish. I love all of Rob J. Hayes works, but this might be his best writing, in my opinion. This GodEater series is truly tremendous.

Deathless is the first book in Annals Of The GodEater, and the series will be three trilogies set over 3000 years from the Demon wars, the fall of heaven, and an empires will to stamp out all divinity and heresy from the world all together.

I knew when I first saw these books being advertised for a kickstarter that I had to be a part of it. After reading the synopsis, you just knew these books were going to be epic, and as usual, Rob J. Hayes did not disappoint with his master storytelling.

Deathless takes place 1000 years before the main trilogy, and the first book Herald. It is short read and is packed full of wonderful, political intrigue, family drama, and characters that draw you in and emerses you into the world of the Sant Dien Empire and Heaven.

Rob J. Hayes continues to create amazing dark worlds. To continue to weave amazing stories one after the other is a gift, and he just keeps on giving. With his fantastic worldbuilding, his plot twist holds no bounds, and the writing is just exquisite.

Ertide is King of the Sant Dien Empire. He is old sick and dying. The Hoistain dynasty has ruled for 2000 years after the demon wars, but only by God’s will. Ertide is tired of God’s will and the angels divinity over them, and something needs to change.

When darks secrets and uncovered, a secret that could save his life, and give him immortality, plots, and schemes start to unfold, and there is no going back when first blood is spilt. Things are about to get dark and bloody. War is coming, and Heaven best be ready.The Hoistain Empire will never be the same again.

Wow, absolutely fantastic reading, I very highly recommend that you check out this series when it’s released on amazon. You won’t regret it….🔥🔥🔥
