Title: Power of the Lost (Celestine Chronicles Book 3) Pdf
A man is only as good as his word ...
Celestine is a vast world, filled with mysteries and peopled by creatures most men consider nothing but flights of fancy.
Terrence Mack knows better.
Free of Florence at last, he wants nothing more than to make good on a promise. Yuri Kolenko journeyed across the world on a quest to be made chieftain and end the abuses of an evil shaman. Terry has sworn to see it done.
Yet pursued by furies, a dragon, even the Dust Lord himself, the template and his companions are compelled to challenge the Sphinx and enter the Labyrinth. There they must make their way to the center, challenge an ancient, fallen hero, and bargain with a woman twice-scorned, called with good reason the Power of the Lost ...

Growth and resolve First and foremost I need to warn readers that these books have a habit of putting me into reading slumps because they are so good that anything I read after just doesn’t compare! Now for the review, the third installment in this incredible series gives us some true character development. We finally see our hero embracing his new life and overcoming his fears and doubts that have hindered him from the beginning! Of course this book has a fair amount of naughty bits but the author has a masterful way of making it a part of the story and not just for the instant gratification!Sorcery, Sociopaths, Swords, Scruples, and Sexytime It takes a certain kind of mind to write a compelling morality play in the guise of a rollicking adventure sprinkled with phantasmagoric love scenes. It's a rare author who, in the middle of exploring the conflict between sociopathy and reciprocity, realizes: now’s perfect time to include a scene where the hero attempts foreplay on a thirteen-foot-tall, cyclopean amazon with erogenous zones considerably bigger than his head.Power of the Lost is my kind of abomination.This third installment of the Celestine Chronicles sees Our Hero Terry Mack in transit, and more importantly, in transition. He’s left the city of Florence (or what’s left of it) behind, gathered his friends and lovers, and set out to fulfill his obligations and find his place in this new world. Does he reach his destination, shall we say, unmolested?What fun would that be?Power of the Lost features a large cast of primary players. Each one is given their due time in the spotlight and their own character development arcs. Terry’s co-stars this time around are a lady dragon of such (prior) power that she has never had to appreciate the consequences of her actions, and a sanguine devil, a protean creature alien to even the residents of Celestine (Okay, okay. She’s a goo girl.) They are accustomed to utterly selfish lives, both ruthless and transactional. Until, of course, their paths cross with Terry Mack’s. But every character is given their time to shine and grow, sometimes quite literally.At the heart of the maze of this story hides a biting satire of the typical fantasy harem protagonist so unsubtle you might not recognize it all. Suffice to say many variations of the essential conflict of “sociopathy versus reciprocity” are presented throughout this book, and you know what side to root for when the time comes.A note of caution, or reason to celebrate, depending on how you approach it: the love scenes in Power of the Lost are both explicit and graphic. But they are graphic for a very worthy reason. I don’t know about you, but I’ve never rounded the bases with the Blob’s hot, younger sister, and so have no experience to draw upon when envisioning such a thing. The graphic descriptions provide the spark to the reader’s imagination that would otherwise be missing to pull them into the scene.There is also a very gruesome, no-holds-barred fight between two yandere (women crazy-in-love, as well as just plain crazy) - a fight to the death between two yandere who *cannot* *die*. It is deliciously nasty, but not for the squeamish.A great adventure, story, romance-- everything you want in fast action book! This series keeps getting better and better, if you liked either of the prior books youll love this, and if you havent read any of it youll love this. Everything a great book needs: fast action, engaging MC who you LIKE and root for, with depth and who you can see struggle and grow. Despite strength of mind and will, and little or no angst and whining, the MC still has internal debate and growth youll enjoy following. The other characters are fleshed out with their own full personality and goals, and you care about them a lot. There is real romance blended in that would draw a tear from most. Great blending of fantasy and myth backs up an over arching plot that is important and keeps it all exciting and meaningful to the reader. Fantastic writing, with much more depth and joy than its.cover and genre.would lead you to expect--read it!
