Happy Thursday everyone! Welcome back to Books from the Backlog, the weekly linkup I'm taking part of which is hosted by Carole's Random Life in Books. This is a great way to put a spotlight on books that I've had sitting on my shelf for awhile. I don't know when I'll get to my weekly featured book, but I hope to some time soon. By the way, all this month I'm featuring fantasy books in honor of Wyrd & Wonder 2025 (a month long celebration of all things fantasy co-hosted by Lisa @ Dear Geek Place, imyril @ There’s Always Room For One More, Ariana @ The Book Nook, Annemieke @ A Dance With Books, and Jorie @ Jorie Loves A Story with artwork by Yuri Arcurs Photography).
This Week's Neglected Book:
Genre: Epic Fantasy
My Copy:
Format: Trade Paperback
Pages: 594
Where I Acquired It: Half Priced Books
Summary (From Goodreads):
King Henry still holds the crown, but his reign has long been contested by his sister Sabella, and there are many eager to flock to her banner. Internal conflict weakens Wendar's defences, drawing raiders, human and inhuman, across its borders. Terrifying portents abound and dark spirits walk the land in broad daylight.
Suddenly two innocents are thrust into the midst of the conflict: Alain, a young man granted a vision by the Lady of Battles, and Liath, a young woman with the power to change the course of history. Both must discover the truth about themselves before they can accept their fates. For in a war where sorcery, not swords, may determine the final outcome, the price of failure may be more than their own lives.
Why did I add it?
I've liked her YA fantasy and thought I thought I'd start her adult stuff, so when I saw it for such a good price I knew I had to take it home with me.
Have you read this or would you read it? Would you recommend it to me? Are you taking part in Wyrd & Wonder? As always, thanks for visiting my blog and perhaps even commenting down below!
