Summary
 When a prophesy brings war to the Land of the Black Hills, Keeley Smythe must join forces with a clan of mountain warriors who are really centaurs in a thrilling new fantasy romance series from New York Times bestselling author G.A. Aiken.
The Old King Is Dead
With the demise of the Old King, there's a prophesy that a queen will ascend to the throne of the Black Hills. Bad news for the king's sons, who are prepared to defend their birthright against all comers. But for blacksmith Keeley Smythe, war is great for business. Until it looks like the chosen queen will be Beatrix, her younger sister. Now it's all Keeley can do to protect her family from the enraged royals.
Luckily, Keeley doesn't have to fight alone. Because thundering to her aid comes a clan of kilt-wearing mountain warriors called the Amichai. Not the most socially adept group, but soldiers have never bothered Keeley, and rough, gruff Caid, actually seems to respect her. A good thing because the fierce warrior will be by her side for a much longer ride than any prophesy ever envisioned ...©2019 G. A. Aiken (P)2019 W. F.

This is a great read from the G.A. Aiken Dark Plains world. A hilarious novel of a Blacksmith family who argue vigorously and love hugely. Throw in an evil sister, demon dogs, (sorry wolves), centaurs, dwarfs and dragons, and a ripping good yarn follows. Louise Williams is amazing in this narration, bringing bright life to this smartly written novel.

Louise Willians Rocks! Brilliant narration!

not my favorite G.A. Aiken book. it felt unpolished and like it was missing a few sentences here and there. not a lot of backstory so didn't have much of a connection with the characters. wish there had been a bit more romance.
