Transformation

This was a very enjoyable book on the whole, about a former Warden, a race of warriors whose job it is to evict demons from human bodies by fighting them on another plane. Betrayed, he was captured by an invading army from the cruel Empire. Tortured, abused, for 18 years he has grimly survived by focusing only on the present. But now he is bought as a scribe by the brutal, capricious son of the Emperor, and soon realises that demons are infesting people in the palace, and are targeting the prince in particular, so our hero will have to decide whether to aid his hated enemy to follow his old vow to be a guardian. Very enjoyable book, lots of plot twists and turns, and a sympathetic, if very gloomy and put upon, hero! I will probably continue with the trilogy.
