"SYNOPSIS
The long-awaited finale of SCRIBE award winning-author Erin M. Evans’s riveting Brimstone Angels series, featuring her signature character, Farideh, as she’s caught up in an epic battle of good versus evil, rife with deception and intrigue, where the question is as much who is evil, as how they can be defeated.
In the long-awaited finale of her riveting Brimstone Angels series, Erin M. Evans thrusts her signature character Farideh into an epic battle of good versus evil, rife with deception and intrigue, where the question is as much who is evil, as how they can be defeated. The stakes have never been higher, and the fallout will shake the Hells, and through them, the Forgotten Realms.
Before Farideh took a devil’s pact, before she was Chosen by the god-king of the Hells, before any of this started, there was Bryseis Kakistos, the original Brimstone Angel, first of Farideh’s line. Now, at the end, there is also Bryseis Kakistos—but this time, instead of helping the king of the Hells achieve godhood, she’s going to kill him. All she needs is a little help from Farideh—which she should, by all accounts, be happy to give. After all, who could object to killing the king of the Hells? Except, it turns out, Farideh. Because as always, things are far more complicated than they seem.
“The Realms have gone through many changes in the past few years, but Erin Evans proves that its heart is still in the same place. Many writers set novels there; a few inhabit it. I get the impression Erin could draw you a map of Suzail as easily as she could direct you to the nearest Starbucks.”
—Elaine Cunningham [on the Brimstone Angels Saga]
"Mystery, momentum, surprise turns, and wonderful character arcs – Evans’ writing is masterful and compelling."
—Howard Andrew Jones (http://www.howardandrewjones.com)"

I just really hope she ends up with Dahl in the end. Lorcan is like the abusive boyfriend that Farideh just keeps going back to even though the readers and the other characters in the novels think she should never be with Lorcan.
Also does anyone know if Erin plans to create anymore characters after she resigns Farideh? |

| I really, really despise Lorcan... what he did to Dahl makes him irredeemable, IMO. Which goes to show that Erin is a great writer, if she can make you feel that strongly about her characters. I hope this isn't the end for her in the Realms. |

Look at the position Lorcan has been in since birth, never ending abuse from his mother and countless sisters, having to listen to the tormented screams of the damned all his life, surrounded by death and destroyed souled, treachery, and betrayal since birth.
All he's had to look forward to is suffering and fear and violence and damnation and ultrapowerful evil that could wipe him from existance in an instant.
Has Lorcan done evil things, yes, but what choice did he have?
It doesn't make what Lorcan did right, or fair, or excusible, but it does make it understandable.
I like Dahl but he'll get over Faridah, while Lorcan NEEDS her, she's his only hope for redemption and freedom. Without her Lorcan never really had a chance at any hope or future.
So yeah, despite doing some really nasty things, I'm on team Lorcan. |

While I agree about Lorcan's terrible upbringing in the Hells, all your concern seems to be for him. I don't care if being with Farideh makes Lorcan a better person. What does it do for Farideh? What makes her happy? Who is the best choice for her to have a great relationship?
Plus, Lorcan's still a devil. Half devil, sure, but as hard as he might try, Lorcan isn't capable of being a great guy who's good for Farideh. Lorcan at his best is like Jarlaxle when we first meet him in the RAS books; not completely evil, but extremely selfish, always manipulative, and a willing troublemaker in any situation. |
