After five hundred years, the Sunken Kingdom has returned, and brought with it a monstrous secret that threatens to destroy every country on the Star.

As an inhuman army gathers on its shores, poised to invade the Immaculate Isles, the members of the Cobalt Company face an ugly choice: abandon their dreams of glory and vengeance to combat a menace from another realm, or pursue their ambitions and hope the Star is still there when the smoke clears.

Five villains. One legendary general. A battle for survival.©2016 Alex Marshall Classics Epic Epic Fantasy Fantasy Fiction Revenge Royalty

It's hard to rate a series after reading the first book so I waited until I read the second one.... Which I stopped halfway through. There is nothing original or new here. Don't waste your time.

Nothing new.
