Official Synopsis:
"In a world outside reality, a young girl's spirit hovers between incarnations, knowing neither her past nor her future. In the temporal world lives Nevyn, who long ago vanquished the maiden's hand in marriage and forged a terrible bond between three souls. Now he must atone the wrong of his youth. "
In other words:
Book 1 of a series of 4 books known as the Deverry series. It follows the fortunes of Nevyn, a former Prince who is doomed to roam the world until he puts right what once went wrong. While Nevyn grows older those who he wronged are reincarnated and each time come a step closer to fullfilling their true destiny.
Verdict:
A very good fantasy novel, a little confusing to start with as there is a sea of characters which are hard to discern from one another but it was worth sticking with to the end and I look forward to getting the next installment from the local library. I wasn't overly fond of the many battle scenes as they lost my concentration but the "wildfolk" are a humerous distraction and the main story has some fabulous twists.
Score:
8/10
