35 posts | 12 read | 30 to read
From R. A. Salvatore, the legendary creator of Drizzt DoUrden, comes the start of abrand new epic journey. When Aoleyn loses her parents, she is left to fend for herself among a tribe of vicious barbarians. Bound by rigid traditions, she dreams of escaping to the world beyond her mountain home. The only hopefor achieving the kind of freedom she searches for is to learn how to wield the mysterious power used by the tribes coven known as the Song of Usgar. Thankfully, Aoleyn may be the strongest witch to have ever lived, but magic comes at price. Not only has her abilities caught the eye of the brutish warlord that leads the tribe, but the demon of the mountain hunts all who wield the Covens power, and Aoleyns talent has made her a beacon in the night.

This is one of my favorite passages from this book as life is written as your story … which your actions predict how beautifully stated. 🥰📖

One of the reasons I love R.A. Salvatore‘s books are that they don‘t end how you think there going to … this gave all of the great expectations of his books. Adventure, intrigue, great characters, storylines, and best character contemplation regarding his/her situation. This is a definite read and I will be reading the next in the short series. 📖🤗👍🏼

Really enjoyed this one! I loved the character development throughout the book. It was a compelling story incorporating magic and mystery into a great fantasy adventure. Thank you @DannyHattan for the new year recommendation!

brilliantglow The cover looks almost like a screenshot of Aloy from Horizon Zero Dawn. 5y

Kicking off the new year with my #newyearwhodis list first pick “child of a mad god”. Thanks for the picks @DannyHattan I woulda went with your top pick but I liked the voice from this one better to start with. But it‘s next. Thanks for hosting @monalyisha this takes a lot of the decision making out of starting a New Year‘s reading list. 😜

monalyisha I haven‘t read this but I like the title a lot! Good luck! 🙌🏻🎉 5y

Bronte_Chintz @Dannyhattan well top marks for the effort at least. Was going to say I‘d try that next time, but maybe not. At least it kills the time! 6y
Bookgirl @Dannyhattan wow you are tough to be able to read through that pain!! Seeing maybe not though 🤣 Still, love the thought! 6y
Bookgirl @Dannyhattan a literary tattoo by chance? Planning one myself in June. 6y
Derf It has a lot of meaning but the overall theme is fantasy and family @Bookgirl I tried an #audiobook too @Bronte_Chintz but to no avail. Just resigned to the torture 😂 6y

“We cannot change our past, and denying it serves no good end. For changing how we speak about it might deceive others, but not ourselves. Those chapters are written, the words are clear, the ink dried. But the book is not complete so long as we breath”. #fantasy #epicfantasy What a quote, love it. And talking of ink. I‘ve got another full day of my tattoo. Cannot wait to be done with it 🤦🏻‍♂️😂😬😫

I am obsessed with the video game Horizon Zero Dawn. The cover of this book reminded me of Aloy so much that I bought it without even reading what it‘s about. Fingers crossed it‘s a good story! 🤞

#TBRtemptation post 3! This is the first in the new Coven series, and set for a February release. This is the story of a witch's daughter born under the Blood Moon, how she finds herself alone amid vicious barbarians, and how her path relates to a particular hunting demon's. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎
