GOODREADS LINK

Synopsis:

Imagine a time when the gods turn a blind eye to the agony of men, when the last of the hellions roam the plains and evil stirs beyond the edges of the map. A time when cities burn, and in their ashes, empires rise.

Alexander, Macedonia’s sixteen-year-old heir, is on the brink of discovering his fated role in conquering the known world but finds himself drawn to newcomer Katerina, who must navigate the dark secrets of court life while hiding her own mission: kill the Queen. But Kat’s first love, Jacob, will go to unthinkable lengths to win her, even if it means competing for her heart with Hephaestion, a murderer sheltered by the prince. And far across the sea, Zofia, a Persian princess and Alexander’s unmet fiancĂ©e, wants to alter her destiny by seeking the famed and deadly Spirit Eaters.

Weaving fantasy with the salacious and fascinating details of real history, New York Times bestselling author Eleanor Herman reimagines the greatest emperor the world has ever known: Alexander the Great, in the first book of the Blood of Gods and Royals series.

Review: The Seamstress & The Sable Knight by Mary Sneddon

The Seamstress & The Sable Knight

Young Adult Fantasy
January 15th 2015

BARNES AND NOBLE
AMAZON

Synopsis:

All Arianna wants is to be left alone. She’s finally got life working out for her. She got her own seamstress shop, her customers pay well and appreciate her attention to quality, and most of all, she is finally on the books—a real citizen. A taxpayer and everything.

And that’s when everything goes wrong. A dark and deadly knight on a black horse shows up outside her shop, asking for her. Her past, in the form of a roguish, handsome thief wants a dangerous favor. And her dreams…those are the worst part. Why would a forgotten and forbidden goddess want to talk with her anyway?

Now Arianna is on the run, and the past is close on her heels. The Sable Knights want her dead, believing she’s the center of a prophecy foretelling the doom of their Order, and their Father God. Beasts of legends have been summoned to kill her, and her friends are collateral damage. But enough is enough. Arianna isn’t without her own power, and she’s willing to go up against just about anything to take her life back.

It’s time to kill a god.

My Review:

My Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

*Note: I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review*

This book was a great story. The characters were fun and relateable, yet realistic enough to understand. I loved Arianna. She was such a strong character who made her own choices.

The action kept me on the edge of my seat as I worried on whether or not the Knights would catch her and kill her. The whole scenario of this novel had me worried on who would come up on top and be victorious. Would Arianna live to fight another day? Would she be able to save the day?

~ About the Author ~ 


E. C. Hibbs has lived all her life in Cheshire, north-west England. A lover of stories from an early age, she wrote her first 'book' when she was five, and throughout school was a frequent visitor to the younger classes to read her tales to the children.
Living so near the coast, she loves anything to do with the sea. She studied Animal Behaviour at university and longs to work with marine mammals in the future. As well as nature and animals, she also has a soft spot for history, and loves paying visits to castles, cathedrals and museums. She also runs Elphame Arts; creating unique portraits in both digital fantasy and graphite mediums, as well as book and CD covers.

There are many things she could be without, but writing isn't one of them. She carries a pen everywhere, in case an idea appears, and takes pride in still seeing the world as brimming with magic. Besides writing, she reads obsessively, her favourite genres being the classics and all kinds of fantasy. She also enjoys Disney and horror films, practising Shotokan karate, drawing, archery, hiking up mountains, and playing with her very cheeky cat.
