The Shattered Lands #3
By Madisyn Carlin
The All Lands War has torn the lands apart and only now some signs of recovery are starting to be seen. But a threat has been encroaching on the lands and certain people are being targeted by the enemy, including Elmery Nemorio, a librarian. Unfortunately for her the person assigned to protect her is Vladic Cindari, former Night Guard.
Naturo Endarison, king of the Coastlands, knows war in coming but has no idea how to stop it. He isn't ready to be king but his father's death left him with no choice. He must protect his kingdom, his family, and his people but until he can learn where the threat is coming from it seems an impossible task.
Myranthe Delmare is leaving her island home behind to help her discover just who King Naturo Endarison is. Is he worthy of her family's support? What she discovers will determine what path her people will take.
This is a wonderful addition to the Shattered Lands series, which is best read after reading the previous books in the series, though it can be enjoyed without first doing so.
War is a constant throughout this book - both its aftermath and the threat of its ever-looming presence. The brutality of it is not shied away from, nor is the hope that it will not return. The main characters are all dealing with how their experiences from past conflicts have shaped them. Vladic and Naturo experienced it first hand, Myranthe through the impact it made upon her island home, and Elmery through books she has read. And each will have a role to play in what is coming. But there will be lessons that have to be learned if they are to fulfill the destiny that is theirs to claim but only if they can learn to rely on the King who is their Father.
Excellent reading that is not to be missed.
I was provided a complimentary copy of this book with no expectations but that I provide my honest opinion. All thoughts expressed are my own.
About the Book:
Some secrets are best left hidden…
Librarian
Elmery Nemorio has no idea why a group of deranged lunatics want her
dead, but she does know she will lose her sanity if she has to spend one
more minute with her sarcastic bodyguard, Vladic Cindari.
Unfortunately, as danger grows and more attempts on her life are made,
she begins to suspect Vladic is the least of her worries. Forced from
her home and into a life of peril and secrecy, Elmery doesn’t know what
the next days will bring. Joined by the annoying Vladic, she finds
herself immersed in a renewed battle not only for her home, but for all
the lands. When she uncovers information best left unknown, will it help
win the war or bring harm to those she loves?
