Synopsis:
THERE ARE DAEMONS THAT EVEN DAEMONS FEAR…
Pulled from a frozen sea, pierced by arrows and close to death, Knot has no memory of who he was. But his dreams are dark, filled with violence and unknown faces. Winter, a tiellan woman whose people have long been oppressed by humans, is married to and abandoned by Knot on the same day. In her search for him, she will discover her control of magic, but risk losing herself utterly. And Cinzia, priestess and true believer, returns home to discover her family at the heart of a heretical rebellion. A rebellion that only the Inquisition can crush…
Their fates and those of others will intertwine, in a land where magic and daemons are believed dead, but dark forces still vie for power.
My Review:
This debut novel absolutely blew me away!!! I This is what fantasy writing is all about! This is the kind of novel that has the kind of storyline that sucks you in and keeps you interested from beginning to end. There is so much going on but it’s in no way confusing or had to keep up with. The way it is written is easy to follow and hard to forget. This book was an epic adventure from beginning to end. If you love fantasy, you will love this book! It had something for everyone. The writing was detailed beautifully and easy to follow. The chapters alternate between different characters and different parts of then land and their story. This book had all the wonderful elements you expect from any great fantasy novel. It had Vampire, elves, magic, dark forces, powers, rebellion. fight scenes… just to name a few. This book was so well thought out. It was creative and imaginative. Never a dull moment. This is the type of book that you get completely enveloped and invested in. I was completely invested in this book the entire time I was reading. Nothing could distract me from what I was reading and that is hard to do! I usually need complete silence when reading but it was so easy to lose myself in this story and the characters. Nothing could tear away my concentration.
The character names were unique, well fleshed out and highly memorable. The world building is fantastic. I could see everything come alive in the story, it played out like a movie in my mind. Actually, this book would make for a wonderful movie! I have so much excitement for this book it’s hard to contain myself! I am thrilled for this new series! I can’t believe there will still be four more books to come. I am highly anticipating reading the next book. I am now and forever will be a fan of this new author. This book was enough to make me want to read anything else he puts out. The writing was just that phenomenal!
This novel is a perfect read for fans of Anne Rice, or J. R. R. Tolkien. If you are looking for a novel with an amazing storyline and something that will suck you in and keep you entranced from beginning to end, you have to read this book!
