In Dark Prisoner, Jerlo has created an epic fantasy that weaves together two gifted but flawed protagonists, a malevolent force dedicated to destroying the land, and a perilous journey that challenges the heroes to overcome both literal and figurative demons.
Suna believes she failed to protect the king, his wife and unborn baby when they died suddenly years ago. For that, she has retreated to self-imposed exile, withdrawing from all others of her kind. Since her race, the Diveneans, are pledged to serving and protecting the land, she feels she betrayed them and has lost her self-respect.
Feran was a successful and highly respected general in the Dunkerk army, but he retired because there was no monarch to defend and he lost his sense of meaning and purpose in life. He is searching for something and is in danger of being used by the evil Belthazar, who while physically under lock and key, can influence others through his magic.
When Suna and Feran are brought together, they realize they are meant to fight for Dunkerk. As they try to safeguard the kingdom, will they save each other and themselves? Or will Belthazar have his way? And will betrayal by factions within the realm help Belthazar’s cause?
Suna and Feran are fascinating, well-defined characters who capture the reader’s interest and make you root for them from beginning to end. Although there is an attraction between them, this book avoids the trap of the hero and heroine instantly falling for one another. Their relationship builds during the story, but by the end, you don’t know what will happen between them next, if anything.
Dark Prisoner takes many surprising and suspenseful twists and turns. More books are needed for this huge story to resolve, but the ending is satisfying and leaves you breathlessly waiting for more.
