The Warrior's Path (Tales of Gorania Book 1) by Karim Soliman
Blurb:
A true warrior never stains his hands with the blood of an innocent.
Forced to slay his father to avoid committing atrocities of war, Masolon flees the justice of his clansmen, through the madness of the haunted desert, to the fabled lands of Gorania—a journey he survives with his body, but not with his mind.
Tormented by the guilt of his sin, Masolon seeks redemption through the war he wages against the tyranny of lords and the savagery of outlaws.
As enemies and false friends close in from all sides, Masolon must discover if it’s possible to find peace in Gorania for his restless heart…while following the bloody path of a warrior.

Review:
The title for this book could not be more appropriate. Masolon is a warrior, a true warrior for the people. Not just certain people either, pretty much all people that are in need of him. He tries his hand at this and that in Gorania as he becomes a champion of the contests, he builds a small army of warriors that help defend those who need it from the ghosts, and even becomes a commander for a king. However, it seems like he is always looked upon as an outsider, a foreigner. Everyone knows he isn't from Gorania and although he is a champion of the people, he is still in a situation of "you can look but not touch" when it comes to the women he is interested in and even his own destined path. I love his character because although Masolon has a heart for the people, he is not above eliminating a lord or two that well deserve it. But this country is not like his own. The rules are different and his ways are not looked upon kindly and are often seen as threatening in one way or another. This land is ruled by kings and lords and whatever whims they have at the moment. His luck in love is just horrible though. I can't help but feel sorry for him in that department. Otherwise, he is one amazing man who walks a lonely road. This was a bit lengthy of a read but well worth the time spent to experience Masolon's journeys. I thoroughly enjoyed it!
Might I add that I do love this cover!! And I was quite impressed with this being a new author!
5 out of 5 stars!!
