Only 1 percent of the population is blessed with magic affinity at birth. Fewer still have high enough affinities to rule. Ian’s decemancy eclipses all, granting him ultimate control over Death. He conquers cities with a thought and turns them into ruins with a gesture. But overwhelming power isn’t enough to escape the time loop or reveal its purpose.

Wow, I wasn't expecting this book to be fantastic

Seriously - give this book a shot.
I'll admit, when I bought this book I didn't expect it to be much more than something to make my drive a little more interesting. As it turns out, I was pleasantly surprised.
The plot is both unique and interesting, the characters are likeable, and the pacing of the story left nothing to be desired.

As Guilliman, Regent of Terra, heads off to lead the Indomitus Crusade, he leaves behind a world still in turmoil, beset by cult activity. Stripped of its huge armies for the galactic offensive, recovery is precarious. The Custodians do what they can while keeping the Palace secure, and the Sisters of Silence rebuild their citadel on Luna. When the warship Phalanx returns, it seems that stability will at last be assured. However, as reconquest forces push out further into the slums, they come across signs that another mysterious foe is active.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 303
Bloodwraith thought of himself as an effective villain, until a single adventurer destroyed his entire lair. With his last breath, he switched bodies with the adventurer and discovered that his world was built on lies. Alien beings from another dimension were using his world as a game...and now, he was one of them. The problem is, Bloodwraith has no experience being an adventurer. He was a mage, but his new body is only good at hitting things. He relied on undead minions, but now, he has no choice but to depend on other people.

Fantastic from beginning to end. Give it a chance, as it's not at all what you expect out of a book from this genre.

Give it a chance - I was surprised by how much I liked this book. It's neither saccharine nor overly gritty, but a nice middle-ground high fantasy book. The story is well paced and leaves enough unanswered questions to truly encourage the reader to look forward to the next book without feeling like you've been ripped-off.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 386
In a future of near-instantaneous global travel, of abundant provision for the needs of all, a future in which no one living can remember an actual war, a long era of stability threatens to come to an abrupt end. For known only to a few, the leaders of the great Hives, nations without fixed location, have long conspired to keep the world stable, at the cost of just a little blood. A few secret murders, mathematically planned. So that no faction can ever dominate, and the balance holds. And yet the balance is beginning to give way.

Fantastic Book
Reviewed: 03-16-17
What did you love best about Seven Surrenders?
The characters, the intelligent asides, the plot was extremely interesting, the mystery elements kept me turning pages, and the overall writing was fantastic.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Seven Surrenders?
It would give too much away
Which character – as performed by T. Ryder Smith – was your favorite?
Mycroft
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Again, it would give too much away - but I can say that I keep a distance between myself and the world, and myself and any book. It's hard to move me, but there were several scenes in this book that stirred something in me to a greater degree than any book I can remember reading or listening to in a long time.
Any additional comments?
Truly, I loved this book. Too Like the Lightening was my favorite book of 2016, and Seven Surrenders just may be my favorite book of 2017.
