Aucun Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre.  Bibliodiction | Apr 5, 2020 |   The life of a Viking is not an easy one, especially for Dyrfinna, daughter of Egill, ambassador for the Queen. I am still trying to figure out why her father thinks so little of her. Dyrfinna is a young, intelligent, battle-ready warrior waiting for her chance to demonstrate her abilities. Fortunately, with their mortal enemy, King Varinn, living nearby, she doesn’t have long to wait. I love the voice of the story. Conversations are held in the verbiage of the day, with a bit of current slang thrown in. I was able to feel the excitement of battle and the urgency of finding better ground. Many times, I felt the outrage of the warriors towards those in the wrong. I despaired at the never-ending obstacles thrown in Dyrfinna’s way. I also felt the elation of success time and again, only to be knocked down by those she loved. It appeared this story was going to end on a happy note, but since this is the first book in the Dragonriders of Skala series, there has to be a wicked cliff hanger. And boy is there ever!! I’m left with needing to know how she will escape while rescuing others. What is the truth? Why is she challenged from every direction? Will the babies remain safe?

Dyrfinna and her sword-friends only want to mourn their friend Thora, the Queen's daughter, after she died after visiting her husband-to-be, King Varinn.

Only Dyrfinna is able to return her dead friend to her eternal rest - but not before hearing a terrifying story from her lips.The only recourse for this awful deed is revenge. Dyrfinna is more than ready.But there's more at stake than Dyrfinna dreams of. A dragon saves her life and hints at a war to come that's greater than the one they're about to plunge into. Fate follows in the wake of these warriors.Set in a new, Norse-inspired world, and packed with magic, adventure, and dragons, THE FLAME OF BATTLE begins an epic new fantasy saga from Melinda R. Cordell. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
