Book Synopsis:
Sword In The Storm
Born in the storm that kills his father, Connavar grows up among the mountains of Caer Druagh, where the Rigante tribe dwell in harmony with the land and its gods.
But beyond the border, across the water, an evil force is gathering strength – an unstoppable force that will change the world beyond all recognition.
Haunted by malevolent spirits and hunted by evil men, Connavar sets out on a spectacular mission to defeat this new enemy… But he is a troubled soul, dogged by fate – will he be able to defend his tribe and save his people?
Midnight Falcon
They called him Bane the Bastard – though none said it to his face.
Born of treachery, his name a curse, he grew up among the warriors of the Rigante. They valued his skills in war, but they feared the violence in his heart.
And when, as a Wolfshead and Outlaw, he left Rigante lands, they breathed sighs of relief.
But Bane would return, the destiny of the Rigante in his hands, the fate of the world resting on his skills with a blade.
The story of the Rigante continues in Ravenheart.

My Review:
I absolutely loved these addictive and compelling books, which are the first two books in an exciting new fantasy, adventure story.
Firstly I loved the world the author has created which I think is loosely based on the Roman period in Britain. It was fascinating to learn more about this world and what every day life was like for the characters. The author’s fantastic descriptions allowed me to perfectly imagine it vividly so that at times it felt like it when all happening right in front of me. I could almost hear the clink of the swords and smell the sweat of the battlefield.
The two main characters in the two books were very interesting creations who I enjoyed following on their difficult journeys. I liked that they weren’t perfect as it made it easier to get behind them and feel sympathetic towards them. Both are fierce warriors and very skilled on the battlefield which helped make the action scenes very thrilling to read. Connavar was an especially interesting character as we get to see him grow up and change through the years.
Overall I thought this was a gripping, adventure packed read which was hard to put down. I liked that none of the action seemed overdone and that the story seemed so realistic. Neither book went the way I expected them to which I always enjoy and helped make sure I kept turning the pages. I can’t wait to read more from this fantastic series!
Huge thanks to Anne Cater for inviting me onto the blog tour and to Transworld for my copy of these books via Netgalley.
