Swords and magic and an epic spanning generations are the key elements of Ann Marsten's first novel which grew into the Rune Blade Trilogy: Kingmaker's Sword, The Western King, and Broken Blade. The trilogy is an impressive Celtic fantasy built around a prince-in-disguise story and the destiny of a sword. All three books were flavored with just the right mix of action, romance and history to grab me and keep me turning the pages.
Kingmaker's Sword begins with the son of a lost king and the start of an adventure that would change the lives of those who dared to grip the blade of destiny. Ann Marsten wields her sword with an art to making a Mouse into a Man. Read this excerpt from Kingmaker's Sword. The Western King tells the story of three sons; a prince, a wizard, and a dreamer. War times are looming and it's up to all three to unite the Celi against her enemies. One to wield the Rune Blade, one to wield the powerful magics, and one to protect their home. Broken Blade brings the Celtic epic to a close with the tale of a kidnapped Princess and a clanless son who must rush a secret across enemy territory to save a land. Three generations of a warrior family are forged into the destiny of fantastic swords and powerful magics. Ann Marsten writes with exceptional style in these first novels. She brings to life complex and interesting characters caught in the tangles of love and honor built on a weave of medieval magic and turmoil. Each book provides an ample conclusion, and the reader is left satisfied with only delicate hints to make one eager for the next. If you liked these books don't miss Ann Marston's next trilogy, The Sword in Exile.
