Beyond a Darkened Shore by Jessica Leake
Vikings meets Frostblood in this romantic historical fantasy stand-alone from author Jessica Leake.The ancient land of Éirinn is mired in war. Ciara, princess of Mide, has never known a time when Éirinn’s kingdoms were not battling for power, or Northmen were not plundering their shores.
The people of Mide have always been safe because of Ciara’s unearthly ability to control her enemies’ minds and actions. But lately a mysterious crow has been appearing to Ciara, whispering warnings of an even darker threat. Although her clansmen dismiss her visions as pagan nonsense, Ciara fears this coming evil will destroy not just Éirinn but the entire world.
Then the crow leads Ciara to Leif, a young Northman leader. Leif should be Ciara’s enemy, but when Ciara discovers that he, too, shares her prophetic visions, she knows he’s something more. Leif is mounting an impressive army, and with Ciara’s strength in battle, the two might have a chance to save their world.
With evil rising around them, they’ll do what it takes to defend the land they love...even if it means making the greatest sacrifice of all.
"Beyond a Darkened Shore is thrilling and romantic. This is a must-read for lovers of fantasy, mythology and folklore." -Kody Keplinger
Given to the Earth, book 2 and conclusion of the Given duology by Mindy McGinniss
Duty, fate, desire, and destiny collide in this intricately wrought tale, perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas.
Although
she was born to save the kingdom by sacrificing herself to the rising
sea, Khosa's marriage to King Vincent has redeemed her. As the Queen of
Stille, she's untouchable. But being Queen hasn't stopped her heart from
longing for the King's stepbrother, Donil. And it hasn't stopped her
body from longing for the sea itself, which still calls for her.
While
Khosa is made to choose between loyalty and love, Dara is on a mission
for vengeance. Years ago, the Pietra slaughtered the entire Indiri race,
leaving only Dara and her twin, Donil, alive. Now, spurned by King
Vincent, Dara has embarked on a mission to spill the blood of Pietra's
leader, Witt, and will stop at nothing to show his people the wrath of
the last Indiri.
As the waves crash ever closer to Stille,
secrets are revealed, hearts are won and lost, and allegiances change
like the shifting sand.
"The ending of this lyrically written sequel is even more shocking,
well-executed, and, refreshingly, not entirely happy . . . . The
distinct perspectives shine, and the harsh-yet-hopeful conclusion
ensures this duology doesn’t succumb to the tired trope of
happily-ever-after, making this a worthwhile read." —Kirkus Reviews
