Genres: Epic Fantasy

Source: Received from the author or publisher for review.As civil war strides through Morica, the lives of three diverse people become intertwined in the machinations of governments, gods, and demons: Prince Brumaine, along with his brother, seeking to overthrow his father for control of the country, Private Zair, a young soldier in Morica's army who serves as a courier for the king, and Esca, daughter of a local healer, and a bystander in the neighboring neutral country of Fermia.
As the war rages, players from other countries enter the fray, and the interjection of three powerful demons seeking refuge makes the battle much more than father-king against princeling sons.
Through it all, both Esca and Zair are encumbered with one more difficulty, the blossoming of their ability to use magic which is illegal in both their homelands. Should either be discovered it could prove fatal.
Deep in political intrigue, wavering alliances, and strained relationships, this novel is for those who love epic fantasy in its truest form where countries, peoples, and the laws of the lands hang in a precarious balance.

My thoughts on Sanctuary Has Fallen
In “Sanctuary has Fallen,” the fourth installment of the Seven Realms Novel series by Michael Drakitch, readers are immersed in a world consumed by civil war. Set in the land of Morica, the narrative weaves together the lives of three distinct individuals whose destinies become entangled amidst the power struggles of governments, divine beings, and malevolent forces. Prince Brumaine, driven by the desire to overthrow his father and claim the throne, embarks on a treacherous journey alongside his brother. Meanwhile, Private Zair, a young soldier and loyal courier for the king, finds himself caught in the midst of chaos. Esca, the daughter of a local healer from the neighboring neutral country of Fermia, inadvertently becomes entwined in the unfolding events.
As the war escalates, external forces from other nations enter the fray, altering the dynamics of the conflict. The arrival of three formidable demons seeking sanctuary adds an additional layer of complexity, transforming the battle into a clash between more than just a father and his princeling sons. Amidst the turmoil, both Esca and Zair grapple with an additional burden—the awakening of their latent magical abilities, an outlawed practice in their respective homelands. The discovery of their secret powers could have dire consequences.
“Sanctuary has Fallen” plunges readers deep into a world of political intrigue, tenuous alliances, and strained relationships. The novel captures the essence of epic fantasy, embodying the truest form of the genre. As the intricate plot unfolds, the fragile balance of nations, diverse peoples, and the laws that govern them hangs precariously in the balance.
Fans of epic fantasy and science fiction will find themselves captivated by the richly detailed world Drakitch has created. Although the pacing may be slower due to the intricacies of setting up the action, the author masterfully maintains the reader’s interest by skillfully exploring the complex dynamics between characters and the evolving political landscape. The magic system within the story is well-crafted and seamlessly integrated, adding an additional layer of fascination and suspense.
“Sanctuary has Fallen” stands as the fourth book in the Seven Realms Novel series but can be enjoyed as a standalone novel. It continues the saga with the same depth and engrossing storytelling that has become a hallmark of Drakitch’s work. With its epic scale and intricate world-building, this novel is a must-read for fans of the genre seeking a tale that encompasses the full breadth of fantasy storytelling.
