About this listen
There will be a battle, and you will need to protect your heart.
Kjell of Jeru had always known who he was. He'd never envied his brother or wanted to be king. He was the bastard son of the late King Zoltev and a servant girl, and the ignominy of his birth had never bothered him.
But there is more to a man than his parentage. More to a man than his blade, his size, or his skills, and all that Kjell once knew has shifted and changed. He is no longer simply Kjell of Jeru, a warrior defending the crown. Now he is a healer, one of the Gifted, and a man completely at odds with his power.
Called upon to rid the country of the last vestiges of the Volgar, Kjell stumbles upon a woman who has troubling glimpses of the future and no memory of the past. Armed with his unwanted gift and haunted by regret, Kjell becomes a reluctant savior, beset by old enemies and new expectations. With the woman by his side, Kjell embarks upon a journey where the greatest test may be finding the man she believes him to be.
©2017 Amy Harmon (P)2017 Novel Audio Inc.The world-building in this duo is rich but done with a subtle deftness that is lacking in a lot of fantasy books these days. It doesn’t have that god-awful-but-apparently-necessary-info-dump at the beginning (granted, I would 100% recommend reading The Bird & The Sword before this one but it does stand on its own) and the story moves briskly without ever feeling rushed. Aaaaand there are FEELS. I cried. Several times. I’m 7 months pregnant but I maintain I will absolutely sniffle through certain passages EVERY time I listen to this. Because there WILL be re-listens.
This is a gorgeous romance, as well as stunningly written fantasy- it’s not as spicy as my usual fare, but then again there are FEELS. Not since devouring Grace Draven’s work have I been so thoroughly delighted with a writer’s prose, almost as much as the content & originality of the story…
Beautiful. Utterly beautiful.
