After untold centuries of absence, the evil Ancients have returned. Their magic appears unstoppable and their hunger for conquest is insatiable. To protect the country of Nia, Duchess Nadea and Scholar Paug make a desperate journey to find a human legend: a man known to have destroyed these Ancient foes with a powerful army.

But legends can lie.

When Paug and Nadea revive their hero from sleep, his virtue is far from clear.

Is he really their Savior or their Destroyer?

Contains mature themes.

    To be fair and honest, the listener is warned that this book contains adult content, and yeah it could have been less explicit but get over it. The story itself is great. I was hoping for a happier ending but as I am now on book 2, I want Nanos to die very horribly and I hope Kaiyer beats the crap out of him.

    I did not like this book at all, despite normally enjoying swords and sorcery stories. I had to listen to it at 1.5x-2x speed just to get through it so that I could say i gave it an honest chance. The main rub was that none of the characters acted believably. Beware to potential listeners; your eyes may become sore from all of rolling they will be doing as you listen 14.5 hours about a horny genocidal superhuman man and his sex objects (read: literally all main female characters and most of the other named ones) making their way through this unfinished and unsatisfying story. This story might be leading up to something more interesting, but based on this story I will not continue the series. The book feels like an author of smarmy romance took a shot at writing a fantasy story geared exclusively to unmarried young men that want to read juicy details about sex with elves and royalty. It seems like so much more attention was paid to telling us about sexual desires and encounters than was paid to the actual plot. There were a couple of decent scenes where an interesting problem was overcome, but those represented an depressingly small portion of the book. There was nearly no character development, and this makes sense in that the characters did not really act like humans to begin with. Like I said, this was the biggest rub for me. I have listened to a lot of fantasy and science fiction, and comparatively Destroyer feels like an ill-defined quest with few interesting problems to solve populated by wonky caricatures of people. The book closes in a way that resolves no sub-plots and feels very unsatisfying.

    Um, I did like it. I listened to the whole series but, holy cats, it’s almost grotesque in its wording on the subject of sex. I smh every time a sex act was described because it was often and repetitive. Otherwise, I enjoyed the story.

    Good premise but poorly executed. Set in fantasy world where no one has more than a 4th grade vocabulary,or even any difference between characters, socially, morally, or academically. Like the endless useless lists and descriptions of food, clothing and workout schedules, the sex scenes follow tedious checklists from someone who has watched way too many Red Shoes Diaries. The ending was unsatisfying, and even with the cliff hanger ending, I do not care enough about any of these characters to read another "book" by this author.

    Honestly, this book felt like it had a few moments of grace, but over all was extremely cookie cutter. The support characters where bland to say the least. “ girlie princess” and “ tough princess”, “ old warrior past his prime” and “ arrogant bully worthless prince” are all so over done. Additionally, although I can see many young men relating to Paug in some ways, his lust for adventure and his drive to better himself based on what he sees as the idealized version of masculinity in front of him, it really feels as if his multiple chapters do nothing to progress the story. I don’t feel like he’s really adding anything besides fluff. The magic is pretty straightforward and so far hasn’t presented anything new, which is fine but fits into the cookie cutter aspect. The world building stands out a bit more by introducing random modern quality of life into the medieval setting like indoor plumbing, but is never explained so again doesn’t really add anything. The one saving grace of this story is the mystery surrounding the main character and his missing memories that slowly return. It actually does feel fascinating and drive me to want to know more about his back story and how he ended up in a magical sleep in the first place. Overall it’s fine. The narrator does fine, the book, characters, and setting are fine, it’s all fine. If you’re looking for a safe play on fantasy with a few smutty scenes in there, you should try it out.

    Storyline was great with a lot of action and character building. The fight scenes were very descriptive as well as the multitude of sex scenes which I could do without. Overall would recommend and skip through the sex scenes.

    yeah not the best. Not well developed and pretty mich ever woman in the book is there for the sexual interest of young male readers. There's really no substance at all in this book. Even the unending sexual fantasies of the protagonist aren't even that great or believable.
