WINTER'S DAWN (The Nordic Wars #3) by Morgan L.Busse, Reviewed by Rebecca Maney




REBECCA'S REVIEW:
" . . . Brigid knew one thing: The Word would always be there, His voice a whisper in the wind. They would never be alone."

Facing her biggest challenge yet on and off the battlefield as a Bear Clan warrior, Brighid knew that a peaceful alliance between clans was the only way that her people were going to survive. It was that simple and that complicated. Dark forces were at work behind the scenes and Brighid knew that it would take more than her gifted fighting ability to overcome their enemies. Kaeden, an Eldaran Truthsayer, agreed to be a neutral force of healing, sealing his oath with a blood bond between them. In the back of their minds, and perhaps just beyond their true measure of understanding was a potentially deeper union, but realistically speaking, the battle before them held no guarantee of survival.

Filled with dramatic imagery and characters whose intrinsic traits swung from honorable to despicable, there was always a sure foundation found in the whispered assurances from The Word. Light contrasted with darkness, truth stalked deception, and life sacrificed itself to overcome death. It's a love story, it's a war story, it's a hope story . . . it's a redemption story . . . and I absolutely loved it. 


BackCover Blurb:

Fearless. Defender. Shield Maiden.

Brighid returns to the Nordic forces. But she is not alone. Her newfound companion accompanies her, along with Kaeden, the Eldaran Truthsayer. Together, they approach the battlefield, powered by a unique bond forged since their first encounter.

Yet a dark and menacing presence grows within Brighid’s mind. Her connection to death has returned, and this time, there is no oath to numb the terror. Will she be able to fight and protect her people while sensing the reaper of life?

Kaeden’s recent conflict with one of the Shadonae has left scars across both his body and soul. Still, he is determined to finish what he has started and free both the Nordic people and the world of this great evil. To do so, he may have to sacrifice everything to reach the one who has bound the Nordic people to this deadly war.

Kaeden will need Brighid’s help. But when he reveals the truth behind the dreams they have shared, Brighid must make a choice that could change not only her future but the fate of her people: accept the bond between them or let it fade—and lose him along with it.
