About the Book

Book: Dawn of Vengeance

Author: Ronie Kendig

Genre: FICTION / Science Fiction / Space Opera

Release Date: December 8, 2020

A haunting prophecy upended his identity. Now it demands his life.

Once a formidable bounty hunter, Marco Dusan is plagued by insecurity as he tours the realm he now rules. This quiet, backwater planet is not as untouched as he’d once thought. Evidence of collusion between Droseran factions and the powerful Symmachians with their forbidden technology litters his encounters. Worse, all signs indicate Xisya, the alien who tortured him, is still snatching Kynigos Brethren—but to what end?

Lance Corporal Eija Zacdari works hard to win a coveted place on the Symmachian hyperjump program, but instinct tells her their intel is flawed. Despite nearly failing the tests, she is assigned to the team-and lands in the middle of a bewildering conspiracy.

Haunted by a prophecy that promises pain and war, Marco forges alliances to protect the primitive world against Symmachia’s devastating influence. But one truth becomes painfully clear: the biggest threat to their world may be much, much closer to home.

"Dawn of Vengeance" by Ronie Kendig is the second book in the series. I recommend reading the first book "Brand Of Light" first because you will meet some of the same characters that are in the first book as well as new ones. This novel is mostly Marco's story, who we met in book one.

While the first novel had many more space flight adventures and battles. "Dawn of Vengeance" deals much more with brothers bickering and discussions and posing between characters and people groups. There are lots of twists and turns in this book.

I don't think I have read any of Ronie Kendig's book before reading "Brand of Light", but this series has me wanting to read more of her novels.

This is another series that I wouldn't have checked out from the library but can say I am glad I was given copies to review. I used to say there is no way you are going to get me to read Sci-Fi, but I am actually enjoying this series. I think it is because this series really lets you experience what the characters are feeling and so it doesn't feel like it was written to entertainment but written to make you feel emotions.

I was given a contemporary copy by the author and Celebrate Lit and these opinions are mine.

More from Ronie

Throughout the Droseran Saga, Marco Dusan—our much-loved hero—enjoys his favorite drink, warmed Cordi. The inspiration for his citrusy-spiced drink came from a favorite family holiday tradition—“Christmas punch.” My mother-in-law received this recipe while they were stationed in Germany from a colonel’s wife. We make this every Christmas (okay, I make it a lot starting in about late October because it’s so delish). The piquant scent of cranberry, cloves, and orange fills our home every fall and holiday.

The scent of this is apropos for Marco, who tracks by scent. And, interestingly, our noses and smells are connected to memories, which just seemed to demand I come up with some way to create “Marco’s Cordi” for readers. So, this year, I used Adagio Tea’s custom-blend feature to craft a more citrusy blend of Marco’s drink. Now, that’s tea—something Marco doesn’t really enjoy—but add a quarter cup of warmed orange juice, and you’re starting to hit the sweet spot. Marco would be proud!
