In fact, we continue to see his cut-throat nature however, his focus is now protecting his people, rather than following Roland’s orders. Hugh is not a nice man, and his stripes don’t change all of a sudden (now that he’s the “hero”).
Over the course of Iron and Magic, we see Hugh from his own point-of-view, adapting and adjusting to the vacancy created by Roland’s absence. He was cast aside by Roland, stripped of Roland’s love and power, leaving a huge, painful void within Hugh. When we first met him, Hugh D’Ambray was a power-hungry maniac who did whatever it takes to finish his job. Overall, I enjoyed the book and loved learning more about Kate’s long-time nemesis, Hugh. Additionally, there are a few key events that will have repercussions on the upcoming (and final) Kate Daniels book, Magic Triumphs (August, 2018), making this a must-read for fans of the series. Although the book works as a starting point for new-comers to the Kate Daniels world, it is going to be much more rewarding for long-time Kate fans. Iron and Magic is the highly anticipated first book in the Kate Daniels spin-off series, Iron Covenant.
Now Hugh and Elara must survive each other in order to protect their people. So when Hugh offers an alliance through marriage, the pair says, “I do,” before the ink dries on their agreement. Knowing he may have to sell what’s left of his soul to find security isn’t going to stop Hugh.Įlara Harper is the leader of a group of cast-off witches and magic users looking to protect her home from potential invasion. First on his agenda, finding food and shelter for his men.
However, when his loyal men, the Iron Dogs, come to him with stories of how they are being hunted down and picked off, Hugh finds a spark of life and reason to live. Broken after being cast out by his mentor / foster-father / master, Hugh D’Ambray barely lives.
