Synopsis
A thousand years ago, humanity’s greatest heroes killed God.
Across the land of Helesia, the iron grasp of the Godless Kings is failing. Demons stalk the deep forests, monsters break free of their prisons beneath the World Vein, and terrors of the old world rise again.
Deep in the wintry village of Riverden, Renira Washer lives the dreary life of a laundry girl, dreaming of excitement and adventure. But in her blood, hides a secret: the angels are not all gone.
When a stranger from her mother’s past appears with a dire warning, Renira’s peaceful life is shattered and she’s thrown headfirst into a millennia old war between Heaven and earth.
Only the Herald can ring in the Fifth Age.
Only the Herald can bring the God back to life.
History is written in blood. The future is forged in holy fire.
Review
Wow, that was so exquisite, intriguing, and brilliant. You always know when you pick up a Rob J. Hayes book, you are in for one hell of blood drenched adventure. I’ve read a lot from this author, and this is absolutely my favourite, so far.
Herald is the first book in the Age of The GodEater trilogy, and it’s part of 9 book saga. It’s just one of those books that captivates your mind with its rich worldbuilding, lore, and its history of the ages that have come and gone with war raging between humanity, angels, and demons.
Herald is a fast-paced, action-packed romp full of twists, and turns that just leave you literally blind sided. Rob J. Hayes has created a fantastic dark world with epic stakes and epic titan battles between Immortals and Angels.
I was fully emersed in this wonderful woven tale and intricate prose. Hayes is one of the best at writing morally grey characters, and this story is riddled with them, and you will find yourself in a love-hate with them as the story unfolds.
The Godless King Emerick has ruled Helsia with an iron fist for a thousand years after the crusades and the fall of heaven, gaining immortality from killing and eating God’s flesh. His mission is to kill all angel kind and store their divine blood and flesh and eradicate them from the world before the Herald can ring in the fifth age and bring back God.
Our main protagonist, Renira Washer, a young girl from a small village, has always wanted to be a hero and go on adventures, and she might just get her wish when an angel turns up and her life is changed forever when she is thrown into a war between heaven and earth and if she never really believed in God and angels, she does now.
I can’t wait for book two. After that ending and cliffhanger, book two can’t come quick enough. If you haven’t checked out Rob J. Hayes books yet, I very highly recommend that you do…😁🔥
