Raised and trained in seclusion at a secret fortress on the edge of the northern wilds of the Kingdom of Ashai, a young warrior called Rezkin is unexpectedly thrust into the outworld when a terrible battle destroys all that he knows. With no understanding of his life's purpose and armed with masterful weapons mysteriously bestowed upon him by a dead king, Rezkin must travel across Ashai to find the one man who may hold the clues to his very existence.Determined to adhere to his last orders, Rezkin extends his protection to an unlikely assortment of individuals he meets along the way, often leading to humorous and poignant incidents.As if pursuing an elite warrior across a kingdom, figuring out who he is and why everyone he knows is dead, and attempting to find these so-called friends and protect them is not enough, strange things are happening in the kingdom. New dangers begin to arise that threaten not only Rezkin and his friends, but possibly everyone in Ashai.

The book started great, a dark military fantasy about an autistic (human) Terminator released upon an unsuspecting world, with violent and hilarious results. I absolutely loved that, but then the author (or the editor) decided to keep introducing YA unoriginal characters, to turn everything into a much blander epic fantasy and to concentrate on the flirting. She (the author) lost me completely half way through. Also, her unique choice to constantly use multiple POVs in the same scene/page was disconcerting and felt amateurish (I never met anything like this). I was really excited at the beginning of the book and increasingly disappointed as it moved on (into YA, esentially). I hope miss Kade will eventually move into fantasy for adults, cause I would certainly be a fan.
