Return to the world of the Sin Eaters Daughter in this marvelous second novel by the talented Melinda Salisbury.
From the blurb;
'Some fairy stories should never come true...
'Errin knows the old story well: the Sleeping Prince, who rises from his slumber every hundred years to wreak horror and bloodshed. She just never imagined he was real.
'As this terrifying enemy rises and a war begins, Errin is forced to flee. With no one to turn to, her only hope is the mysterious Silas, a man whose face she has never even seen...'
This almighty adventure is a thrill of a ride as Salisbury dives deeper into the world of The Sin Eaters Daughter and throws the reader headfirst into a thwart and desperate situation.
We hang on the edges of our seats as Errin is forced to put all of her faith in a mysterious and potentially dangerous ally, and are torn from the world we know into a strange and dark unknown.
As war savages the land we watch as Errin fights to find a way to destroy the foe before her, but not knowing how this particular fairy tale will end every choice could be her last.
While an adventure and fantasy epic Salisbury also manages to weave a love story into this edge of your seat novel which quickly becomes the life blood of the tale and encourages the reader to invest in the main characters.
As we learn more about the depth of this worlds fantastical elements we are also bought back down to earth with the raw and human emotions Salisbury expertly shows on the page.
