Rilari: Book Four of New Blood (New Blood Saga 4) Kindle Edition
The future of Mankind relies on the Guardian of Maarihk. Can he and the Knights of Ril resist forces bent on destroying Mankind's last hope?
In the absence of the Guardian of Maarihk, the Usurper’s venom has extended beyond the Gulf of Braag, seeding unrest and hatred for all things. Maarihkish. Natharr and the Knights of Ril must overcome malice and the ramifications of Ellis the Elder’s boundless past that even Sight cannot reveal. The Rilari stand alone in a world in turmoil as they discover the tremendous reach of the Usurper’s vizier. Even the endowments of the Daemons of Order are unable to withstand the ravages of fighting to survive on Rilari loyalties.
Meanwhile, Nathan and his summoned companion must rely on the teachings of both Natharr and Quiet One to carve out their place in the Maarihk Empire. Skill with a sword is only the beginning of their treacherous path, as fraught with peril as Darshelle’s as she flees the animus of the ancient wood.
Reviews of Rilari
• 5/5 Stars — “Rilari thrilled, shocked, and entertained me from the very first page! Utterly brilliant! An incredible story full of action and adventure ... with beloved characters [that] must overcome and fight in a world of turmoil! Rilari is a magnificent story full of many exciting moments. Readers will be kept on edge. They will feel compelled to keep reading. That is the sheer beauty of this novel! W.D. Kilpack III effortlessly took me on a thrilling journey, kept me intrigued as well as entertained. It is the kind of book that is impossible to put down, and when I had to, I longed for it! I wanted to be reunited with the story I had grown to love and the characters I had become invested in. Kilpack has written an unforgettable novel that features heavily on its characters and themes. His characters are superb, and I think every reader will be able to invest in them. They are believable, and their narratives jump right off the page and into the reader’s mind. If you are tired of reading the same old books that are lackluster and forgettable, then take a chance with Rilari. I promise you that you will not be disappointed! Five stars from me!” — RedHeadedBookLover.com
• 4.7/5 Stars — "Embark on a captivating journey with W.D. Kilpack III's Rilari: Book Four of New Blood, a tale that expertly weaves tension, mystery, and awe-inspiring heroism. Kilpack's world-building skillfully combines politics, magic, and ancient lore, creating a rich tapestry for readers to explore. The characters, especially Natharr and the Knights of Ril, are well-developed, and the dynamic between Nathan and his summoned companion adds depth and heart to the story. Kilpack successfully incorporates profound themes of resilience and unity into the gripping plot, leaving readers emotionally connected. Riliari is a triumph, offering an enthralling adventure filled with courage and the enduring spirit of humanity." — BooksShelf.com

- Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2025In Rilari, the reader is brought back to the saga of New Blood. Rilari is part of the New Blood Saga, and this is volume four. I am a big fan of W. D. Kilpack III, and read whatever this author writes, especially this saga. It's pretty amazing. Long reads are fine with me, as long as the story keeps the reader interested in what is going on. Not all long reads can hold the reader's attention, but this one does. Incredible characters, and they are written as you can imagine people, with layers and depth, and growth throughout the stories. Natharr is one unforgettable character, strong and decisive, but also with grand flaws that all heroes should have, humanity. Guardian of Maarihk is what keeps the world together, but if the world falls into chaos and destruction, who can protect it. A very unpredictable story, my favorite kind! This story is a wondrous trail of words. What a sci-fi fantastical marvel. I think this was my favorite one so far, and I know there is more to read. Rilari is both thrilling and intriguing, all the way to the end. Rilari is a definite recommendation by Amy's Bookshelf Reviews. I read this book to give my unbiased and honest review. Amy's Bookshelf Reviews recommends that anyone who reads this book also write a review.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great read!
Rilari isn't just another fantasy novel. It's an emotional odyssey that left me breathless. It threw me into the world of the Rilari, where humanity's fate rests on the shoulders of a courageous, yet relatable, leader – Natharr, Guardian of Maarihk and Knight-Marshal of the Knights of Ril (a.k.a the Rilari).
Kilpack masterfully crafts Natharr as a hero brimming with both strength and vulnerability. He's a leader who inspires with his bravery, lightens the mood with his cheeky side (let's just say he gains an unconventional companion), and grapples with his own emotions, particularly with his relationships.
Chapter Thirteen, aptly titled "Well Come," stood out as a prime example of Kilpack's exceptional writing. The descriptions of the Knights of Ril facing their adversaries were so vivid, I felt the chill of cold rain, the steel of battle tactics and the agony of loss along with them.
Kilpack brought Book Four to a solid conclusion while planting the seeds to desperately crave what's next. It’s a testament to the finesse of this skilled writer.
I am so glad I dove into the New Blood Saga. Five stars from me. I loved the book!
