Summary of this Book...
William Fylbrigge, newly married to Duke Edward's daughter, becomes his reluctant heir to lands and title of the shire of Stonehaven and of a family estate in Sutherland. Unfortunately, William's older brother, Thomas, wants it for himself. Set in the religious hysteria of the 16th Century Scotland, Thomas finds it all too easy to have his brother declared a heretic and a bewitcher, an accusation that may not be too far off the mark. Now, instead of using his position to rail against the injustices against the innocent accused, William has to defend himself against the fires that rage.
I especially liked...
the relationships between the characters. They were very convoluted and intense. The relationship between Will and his Paladin/best friend, Sean Wilbrun, is the most well drawn of them all and integral to the plot.
When I finished reading this Book I wanted to...
cringe in a corner, shout hallelujah, and make sure the author was writing more. This book was painful in turns, inspiring in turns, and kept me riveted from front cover to back cover.
The author of this Book...
is an amazing talent. For a first novel, she manage to avoid the pitfalls of a first novelist and weave a story of complexity and great action.
I recommend this Book because...
While painful, it was intense and one of the best stories I've read in a long time. You can't put it down and you can't help but get involved in every aspect.
