Excellent book 1 of this series

I couldn’t stop listening to this book. Voice talent is incredible. I highly recommend this book,

medieval war

I really enjoyed this book. It had a lot of action. Hannah Lyon has a writing style that captivates you and keeps your attention start to finish. I felt the characters' emotions and felt like I was there with them. This happens to be one of the only medieval era books that I like. The plot was amazing.

I liked all the characters. The only one I did not like was the one who scared Joshua by making him do something heinous. Joshua is such a good kid. He has a big heart and wants to protect his people. He loves to learn. He also stands up for what he believes in. I love Will and Angelyn's banter. There is a spark, and they have not figured it out yet. They are both stubborn, hardworking, and good-hearted people.

The author makes you look forward to the next book by leaving you with a shocking big cliffhanger. I can talk about this, but not without spoilers. Please, go pick it up and let me know what you think.

Wow! I couldn’t put this book down!

This book truly had my heart racing. Hannah's writing skillfully immerses you in its perils unlike any other author has ever achieved for me. I’ve definitely become a fan. Eagerly looking forward to the next book!

so glad this is a series!

the first adventure series to add real emotion to its people. layers upon layers of intrigue. multidimensional characters and a vibrant world! I can't wait to see what comes next!

A fantastic adventure fraught with magic, danger, and the fight towards freedom.

This is a great first installment to a trilogy! It begins with a cast of very real people who are under an oppressive and dangerous government in a world full of magic and faith that most of them fear. We get to see how these characters can grow and find their way towards freedom for their people and as individuals. The troubles of the world and the magic in it are shown to us in snippets that get more powerful and more interesting as time goes on. I'm excited to see how they are explored in the next books, especially how the two main countries figure out their internal struggles.

Overall, if a fight for freedom, a fantastical world, blood magic, and conspiracy are your cup of tea, you'll love this.

I really enjoyed the narration as well. The narrator gives good definition to each character and handles the different ages, genders, and cultures smoothly.
