Outside is dangerous.
Such is the warning Koral has heard for twelve years. Born a product of genetic manipulation, he knows little else of the world beyond the steel walls of his home.
When fate gives him the choice between certain death and the unknown, there's no question in what he must choose. But he's about to find out the sands he must brave are full of more than mere monsters.
Providing the desert doesn't kill him first.
This is a world ruled by instinct, where innocence is drowned in blood. Here, men are offered up to the great Serpent God, Lorric, only to emerge as the most feared killers on the planet The Rogues.
With the god's sights set on turning Koral into a legend, he must sacrifice himself to survive and be reborn as... The Rogue King.

The Rogue King The Rogue King Saga Book 1 eBook Aldrea Alien Reviews
Well, I definitely want to know what comes next!
The writing, character-building, and world-building were both very good; there were no language- or technique-related distractions in the progression of Veng’s story, and I thought the complexity of Veng’s world well done. I loved the fact of Veng’s genetic mix making him an enigma to himself as well as everyone else. Although he did not spend a lot of time considering it, he appears to be a genetic mix of three breeds, including the extinct Trexen (three clawed fingers and his birth name), and the implications of this are unclear. He has a slightly unusual revulsion toward violence, which makes me wonder if the affection and kindness of his early raising by humans colored this deep-seated part of him. Again, he does not spend time considering it.
Loose ends, enough for a series, certainly abound. What did his human “mother” mean when she said he was perfect? The implications of human time travel to his timeline on his world have yet to be explored. And the god Lorric’s ability to “find” him in order to possess him seem, on the surface, to be inconsistent—if Lorric could reach him through manipulating others, what keeps him from manipulating Veng directly for so many years? There are hints, but no real answers. Yet...
My only criticisms, and the reasons I don’t give it an instant 5 stars, are First, his too-long resistance to a relationship with Lasil. Inner angst has its place, but not for so many pages. Still, all’s well that ends well—he and Lasil manage to reach an understanding. Second, his failure to consider that Lasil might have been abducted and forcibly kept from him. This seems a gap in logic big enough to drive a truck through, especially for a Rogue, and goes back to that inner angst that can be so pesky sometimes.
I give this book 4 stars, because it’s mostly totally excellent, and I definitely want to know what comes next!
I was given a free copy in exchange for an honest review.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I wavered between a 3 and 4 star rating for this novel. Author Aldrea Alien has obvious skill as a story teller, and has built a unique world and alien creatures. The story concept is intriguing, I liked the idea of humans landing on an alien planet and using their superior technology and time travel skills as barter to create a unique breed on the world. The mix of species was also a major draw, so many differing races all living together, with such a wide variety of deities that actually interact with the culture. The story is fast paced, had easily followed time line, shows character and moral growth in the very young protagonist throughout his maturity and adventures, a complex religious and political society, and the violence/sexual content was acceptable for all ages of reader.
The things that made this novel a 3 for my reading tastes likely won't matter much to most sci-fi/fantasy readers today. There were many aspects of the story that felt undeveloped and left too many unanswered questions for instance why the humans were stuck on the planet and why they created Koral; why were the nomads/desert people cut off from the rest of the planet's kingdoms; what purpose did the Rogue's serve in the scheme of religious and planet wide politics; why the All Mother wanted Koral/Vengence to father a child; is Lasil also a creation of the humans.
The story felt rushed with the author narrating all the relevant facts that led Koral to becoming a sacrifice to the God Lorric, growing a reputation as a savage Rogue, and then becoming the King by killing one Rogue. Nothing in his actions shows him as a strong politician, or more savage killer than any of the other Rogues. In the final quarter of the novel, when Veng finally meets the love interest, the author finally allows Veng and the young Lasil to form and emotional bond with the reader through a deep, well done dual third person perspective. Perhaps the toughest aspect of the story for me was the way the author "humanized" the characters by refering to them as "people" "man" "woman" and only occasionally using their unique description in the narrative.
Overall, this was an intriguing story with a unique world and characters. A more emotive POV, slower pace, and deeper exploration of the many plot concepts would have made this a satisfying read for me. The author has a gift for creative creatures and alien societies.
