Konnici na Liriite - Chevalier Du Lys

This is the second book of the five books series about Malus Darkblade. Damn.. only five? This is probably the best series I've ever read or knew that exist where the main character is a evil character. He is evil and almost more evil than the daemon inside him. I remenber reading the comic book (which the story is a bit different of this one) when Malus kills his father and the daemon upon hearing malus saying "goodbye father", the daemon ask... "You killed your own father? Somethimes you even scare me.. and I am a daemon." and the dark elf responded "Good!" That sentence never left my mind and from that point on I've loved Malus Darkblade.

So in this book the dark elf returns to his hometown. He is not received well. Captured and beaten (well there were too many ways of punish to put here...) by his father. His father wouldn't dare to kill him because of his mother so he try to punish him beyond limits so Malus could give up. That don't happen. He find out that he must go to some forsaken isle to retrieve the second artifact. To do this, Malus must betray, double cross, and even triple cross his dark elf siblings as he uses them to locate an island belonging to their enemies, the Skinriders. When I say triple cross I should say fourth and fifth cross eheh.

Just to give an example. Malus has four brothers so he must plan with each to do what he wants (all of them against another). They all want another of his brothers dead so it will be difficult to him to deliver what everybody wants.
One of the characters I like most (besides Malus) was his new retainer Hauclir. I just like him. And I don't wanted him to die. He's a good character and even if he was a Dark Elf he isn't that dark (but dark still). He responds back to Malus but was never kill because of it. Well in Malus defense he did threat him a lot.

Well... The final conclusion is this.. In the first book you see a lot of fights. Here we see a well conceived plot with a good knowleadge of the dark elf court and principles (or lack of them). But don't be alarm. The blood in this book flows in every page. One thing I like is the humans. They are slave and seen as pure livestock. Excelent.
