Kingdom of Gods (epic fantasy/sword and sorcery)

Book excerpt: Having completed his training among the Dracone, Keo travels south to the country of the Divinians, intending to reunite with his friends, who he had sent ahead of him to prepare the country for his arrival. But then Keo learns that his friends have been captured by the country's people, who intend to execute them for daring to announce Keo's arrival. In addition, Keo has only a week to reach the country's capital and save his friends, which means he has no time to waste. To save his friends, Keo must travel to the country's capital before the date of the execution, battling demons, enemy soldiers, and other obstacles that attempt to stop him from preventing the execution of his friends. With the shadow of the demons growing ever larger, Keo cannot afford to fail to save his friends and convince the Divinians who the real enemy is.
