About the Book:
Alexia D'Clere didn't ask to be Protector of the Spear, but after her
dying mother gave her the tiny metal object and made her promise to keep
it safe, she had no choice. Orphaned at age eight, she began to take
over the running of her parent's castle with the help of a trusted
steward. Yet, when a plot to murder her was revealed, a friar whisked
her away to live hidden in the forest. There, she learned to shoot
expertly with bow and arrow and hone her skills to see into the spirit
realm.
Now, at eighteen, Alexia continues to keep the Spear
protected, provide meat for the starving village, while secretly caring
for her ill sister who still lives in the castle. With Alexia's powers
of spiritual discernment and her skill as an archer, she is no match for
those who come for the spear. That is until she meets Ronar LePeine,
one of the King's elite guard.
Ronar desires nothing more than
to do his duty to God and King and pay penance for past sins. Yet a
forest sprite with red, flaming hair blocks his every move, all the
while enchanting him like no other. Something evil lurks at Castle
Luxley, and both Ronar and Alexia are soon thrust into the middle of a
spiritual battle which will not only test their very beliefs, but put
them both in mortal danger.
My Review:
What a terrific and inspiring story! This is the first of Ms. Tyndall's books I have read, but it will definitely not be my last. Having a love for spiritual warfare books, this one did not disappoint! The characters were dynamic, the plot powerful, and the words used to script the story so befitting. I love a complex story that challenges me, and this one fit the bill. What an amazing author--highly recommend her and the story!
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
