Book 1 of 1: Hearts of Madijak

See all formats and editions

A land of ancient magic, a tale of fated hearts.

Diman has long sought a new life, a better life. One separated from the village that shuns him. He dreams of big cities, fantastic sights, far-flung travels. And he dreams of love. But his village denies him that, the most basic of rights. When Makri, goddess of the sea, visits him in a dream, she offers him a new life.

Ladir has served the Temple of Glidak his entire life, spreading their message to the farthest edges of Madijak. Yet darkness shrouds him and hardens his heart against the Church of Dera, the order who murdered his parents. He longs for vengeance, for punishment. He longs for annihilation. But a new arrival at the temple throws his life into disarray. Now, if he pursues his revenge, he may well lose the person who has come to mean everything to him.

A man of peace, long-suffering. A man of passion, seeking violence. Both caught in a conflict that seeks to destroy them. But powerful emotions run between them, bind them as one. Will their ties be strong enough to last, or will this tension crack their bonds?

Too much about religion.

It had its moments, but wasn't especially entertaining.

This was also the love story of two people

Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2016

This is more than the story of Diman and Ladir. This is the story of a world where the people have been systematically lied to and misled. It tells the tale of how Diman, a farm hand leaves his village because of the hatred against him by some of the villagers. He refuses to respond with violence, instead choosing to leave and try to find a place for himself.
He meets Ladir an Apostle of Gladik and Makri. Ladir becomes his companion and teacher, but Diman cannot reconcile his beliefs that violence is never the answer with the conflict between the two Apostles and the members of the church of Dera.
This wasn’t a fast read because it made me think. It so closely mirrors what happens in our lives, what we are told, who we choose to trust and believe. What happens when you realize that you’re no longer sure what to believe or who to trust?
This was also the love story of two people, who complement each other and by doing so, become stronger.
This is a fantasy story, but I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in the world around us. What is important in life and what is truly irrelevant in the end?
I received an ARC in return for an honest review.

This was a nice read. My heart just pulled for Diman. He was such a sweet heart even though he should be the one with the most hate because of how the people in his village treat him. Diman didn't think that more violence will help in the long run.
Then Ladir thinking that that vengeance is the only way to help him with his parents murder. So to have Diman trying to get Ladir to understand why violence isn't always the answer was so sweet.

What a great start to a new series! Wonderful world building, three dimensional characters, traitors, conflicts, and strong passionate sexy men make this a tale well worth reading. This is my first book from this author, but it DEFINITELY won't be my last.

ARC given for an honest review.

More a romance than a fantasy book.

Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2016

I received an ARC for a honest review.

This was an interesting read. The characters weren't one dimensional and the plot wasn't rushed or overly slow. I did feel the story could gave been more developed, with more action and more character development. It was dissatisfied with the book as a fantasy, but felt the romance portion was very good though conflicts were resolved fairly quickly.
