The Silver Sword

De: Angela Hunt

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

The auburned-haired O'Connor women share a bond far deeper than their striking physical appearance: These courageous, high-spirited women all push against societal limits in this exciting historical, romantic novel that spans generations and countries.

It is said that as Cahira, daughter of the great Irish king Rory O'Connor, lay dying of a wound from a Norman blade, she beseeched God that others would follow her calling. To Kathleen O'Connor, Cahira's story was nothing more than a fable--until research divulged that the tale was true. As a stunned Kathleen realizes that she herself bears the mark of Cahira, she wonders if she is destined to continue the legacy.

To uncover the answers, Kathleen delves into the past to find the truth about the Heirs of Cahira O'Connor. It is a journey that carries her across generations, from the battlefields of 13th-century Ireland to the castles of 15th-century Prague, and through a past filled with peril, courage, vengeance, love, and sacrifice beyond anything she has ever known.

Great Story once I could get over the reading

I learned to ignore the virtual voice after a while but then I would wince anytime there was a mis pronunciation or weird inflection. Great story, just wish a real person was reading it.

Interesting characters & storyline…

Story quickly got my interest due to very real characters with depth & substance. AI narration took a while to get used to, but the historical focus grabbed my attention, so the voice became secondary. Anika’s story, at first far fetched, was written in a way that made it believable, especially when woven within church history with factual characters/actual history. As I progressed in the story, I became caught up in seeing the outcome for the major characters, so tasks needing more concentration went undone for today!

Good Story Line

if you love history, romance, and courage, this it! Themes of truth, hope and human frailty tell this worthy tale.

interesting historical fiction

Angela Hunt dives deep into history & brings to it to life. this was the days of Jan Hus, Czechoslovakian, theologian, that took on the dishonest Catholic Church of that time. definitely an improvement of the virtual narrative, but still emotions & necessary, pauses are missing! I do so enjoy Angela Hunt incredible work though.

Intriguing and engaging

Characters. Setting. Plot and pacing. What’s not to love? Hunt promises peril, courage, vengeance, love, and sacrifice - and she delivers. You won’t regret taking this journey with Anika of Prague!

It won't play,

it keeps saying there is an error and to come back in a few minutes. it's been 2 days of trying every couple hours.
