I was given the opportunity to be an ARC reader of this book!
I’m going to start off by saying that this book has reopened my eyes to fantasy.
I got game of thrones, lord of the rings and somewhat of a Merlin feel to it.
I loved it, I read it so slowly to savour the words, the world my mind created and the characters coming to life.
The story is a multi POV, following Tali, Eifian, Serys and Ffara on the build up to the annual meet. However the meet doesn’t feel the same this time, with Tali’s warnings in song and rhyme, Eifian’s ‘newfound, chaotic power’ whilst investigating a cult. Serys finds out she has an ability to open portals and Ffara, the king’s daughter, who has become quite an interest to her father’s priest due to magic in her blood.
‘As the noble houses gather in the kingdom’s capital for the yearly Meet, tensions between Dustborn and Othereds rise, ancient deities stir, and the four soon discover:’
The end of the book definitely leaves it open to a sequel and I myself cannot wait for a book 2.
Thank you Makenzie for making a world that makes the imagination spark and awaken.
