Recommend for people over 18 due to the violent nature.I loved reading the first of the book about Devin. It was an amazing story of his struggles, strength, and heart of a young boy of 10.Devin and his mother embark on an awe inspiring revelation of a woman over coming violence and hate to spare her child. On their journey they come across a weird creature, that changes Devin's life forever.Then I read of Kloss. A 14 yr old boy that grew up privileged and didn't even realize it, till a beautiful homeless girl shows him the light. Kloss then joins the training to be an Oarsman. Then life becomes very hard. You get to watch him grow and fall as he becomes a man. Kloss's life is trained to raid other lands to support their own.Graham's writing pulls you in. You think at first that you are reading two stories, when in fact, he merges both sides in. And with a wicked twist he throws in some magic with some evil fae! The end left me begging for more!!
