As I have started doing recently, when I finish a book I will kick out a quick mention of it here. I just finished last night book 2 of the Chronicles of the Necromancer, "The Blood King" by Gail Z Martin.
It is a good read and could have ended with this book. It connects solidly with the first book "The Summoner" which ended leaving me hanging. Following the main character and his friends it gives the right mix of action and romance and avoids much of the gore that could be slipped into a book dealing with the living, the undead and the dead.
In book one Matris Drake (the main character) barely avoided regicide as his brother took by force the crown that he would have inherited in time. In the stress of his escape he comes into his powers that he inherited from his long dead grandmother the summoner Bava Kaa. In his escape he gains allies and learns of the evil his brother and his mage the vampire (although they call them by a different name in the book) do. By the end of the book it is clear he needs to go back to his home and over throw his brother.
In book two, he trains to overthrow his brother and stop him and his mage from bringing back the Obsidian King, a powerful spirit of a necromancer trapped in a crystal. When the Obsidian King returns there are no mages strong enough to fight him and will grant power to those that free him. Oh and bring hell on earth as well.
Have fun and be Great!
