The last of his kind, Arik must fight to survive...

When his academy is reduced to ashes, Arik narrowly escapes a deadly plunge from a cliffside window and a brutal assault by winged wolves.

Imprisoned, battered and bruised, Arik resolves to either fight back or die trying.

He breaks free and allies himself with a tempestuous water spirit, who guides him through uncharted lands on a quest for answers and vengeance.

Yet, to halt the sinister advance of the Crimson Realm, Arik will require more than a formidable ally.

A serendipitous encounter with a master illusionist unveils a new understanding of chi for Arik. This enigmatic mentor enhances Arik's grasp of the magical force through a series of unconventional lessons, granting him the fighting chance and tools essential for survival.

The destiny of the continent of Taomoni lies in the hands of an improbable hero—one courageous enough to confront the daunting challenges ahead...

About the Series: Leap into an epic journey that merges Eastern cultivation and progression fantasy, where infinite possibilities can be realized if one can master their understanding of chi. From Harmon Cooper, author of the instant bestseller Pilgrim, comes a Japanese mythology-inspired story for fans of Inuyasha, Demon Slayer, and Ghost of Tsushima. What starts as a harrowing coming-of-age story morphs into a journey of growth through multiclassing and mastering various combat techniques as Arik rises from the ashes to become a legend. Available as an audiobook narrated by Travis Baldree!

I can’t recommend this book enough!
Sound judgment can be corrupted with prolonged contemplation.Eight breaths should be more than enough time To make a proper decision. Buy this book now .Wow this was such a fun bookTo read ! The amount ofResearch Harmon does to create such a rich immersion of history culture fighting techniques weapons principles is utterly staggering . A tale of a healer thrust into the role of war priest he must go against every code he’s lives by upTo this point he will become the war priest but he must becomeStronger he must align himselfWith a cantankerous water spirit and mysterious shinobi from the same school that took everything he knew and loved . He doesn’t have much time and he must grow stronger . Much stronger the only way he can do this is to find a mystical cursed mask that hasn’t been seen for hundreds of years it may not even exist . This is the beginning of an epic tale masterfully told and brought to life by Harmon

I was caught up in the first few paragraphs and had to finish reading this. I love how Harman has gathered fantasy and eastern culture into this book. This is a good story and I am glad to have let my eyes feast upon it.

4.0 out of 5 stars An interesting take on the Cultivation genre.
Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2022

I ended up messing up my old review after reading and listening to book 2. Harmon Cooper's first seires Pilgrim is look all the more interesting after coming back to this series. He was able to get one of my favorite narrator's Traivs Baldree to perform. He has vioce a number of different stories and genres but cultivation and progression is were I was introduced to him with The Cradle series. As it is Cooper creates as story that is appropiate for young adults and above. There is actions, humor, and intruge with a soild book that while obvilously setting up a series can stand some what on its own.
The starts off strong and hard throwing the reader into the action. It does at times gives away a bit as to the characters fate particualarly in book two with lines of the charater think back on a moment in future. Its a bit of gnat to complaina bout.
Overall for those that like genre it is a soild KU book and something you might want to add permently to you Kindle libaray and Audible collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Multiclassing with a side of cultivation
Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2021

While reading this I had memories of Remo Williams (80's film - ninja master training montage). This had some fun bits and slow bits. Most scenes had no more than 3 characters interacting which felt a little sparse. One thing I've liked about Harmon Cooper's books is a feeling of things just a bit askew, quirky, odd. I enjoyed the read. Should be accessible to younger readers.

This new series by Harmon Cooper is definitely going to be on my reading list. There is no cursing or other stuff, which is a breath of fresh air from other books. The characters have depth and the combat is based on actual sword and fighting techniques. Personally, I think that Meosa should be able to make a water whip with his yokaura, or whatever it is. Plus, that mask is AWESOME. All in all, well worth the five stars. Thank you for reading this review!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not like Cradle and Iron Prince
Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2021
Verified Purchase
I read this book because I really enjoyed both The Cradle series and Iron Prince. Also, the cultivation style novels are my favorite currently, and I have had the pleasure of reading many very enjoyable cultivation novels. This book did not come close to measuring up to Cradle or The Iron Prince, and, in my opinion, did not fulfill the premise of cultivation novels. It was a reasonably good read, but comparing it to Cradle and Iron Prince is wrong.

Wow, what a great story! I thoroughly enjoyed everything about this book. The characters were all so believable that even though a work of fiction, the plot emersed you into a different world that could have been real. Overall a great read and I can’t wait to read the next instalment.

5.0 out of 5 stars 'Bloody' and Brilliant Start To This New Series
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 10, 2021
Verified Purchase
An excellent new series from the pen of Harmon Cooper. 'War Priest' is not only a wonderful storyline and plot with fully-developed characters, it's also really interesting because it's based on factual information (as is a lot of Mr Cooper's work) and, as a result, feels real. You can tell that the author enjoyed writing this, as he passes his enthusiasm via the words to the reader, who then turns the pages with abandon.

I don't want to say anything that will spoil any reader's enjoyment of this. I loved this book! You never know whether to truly trust our main character, Arik Dacre's partners on his mission, or not, which makes it all the more intriguing. The momentum of the story alternates between the action-packed pages and where the reader learns more about Arik's life and the areas and culture around him. The actual task to get a hold of the 'Mask of the Fallen' itself is genius.

An absolutely twisty and turny, beautiful, emotional book, with bloody, bloody, fight scenes (yes, I did mean two uses of 'bloody'!). Roll on book two!
