Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Springhair

Journey to the kingdom of Farsala (similar to ancient Persia) where the deghans rule the countryside. Jiaan, Soraya, and Kavi are all young people who live in this land where magic is legend. The Hrum (similar to the Romans) have conquered over half of the known world. But the High Commander of Farsala is determined to stop the Hrum at Farsalas border. It all comes down to a single battle. Will the Hrum defeat the Farsalans, or will the deghans be able to stand the armys might?

Told in the three alternating viewpoints, this book can be a little confusing at first. Slow to start off, it eventually pulled me in enough to keep me interested. Although it is labeled a fantasy, there really isnt that much magic in it.
