Self-Publishing ReviewBlood and Fire"In Book Two, we continue on with the attempted rescue of Princess Megan by the King's elite soldiers, as she is moved to the lair of the Darkspawn Lord Alsheer, in the depths of Arakur, as her handmaiden Anabel flees her slaver captors, creating a dilemma for the elite band - they will have to separate to rescue the two damsels, while war brews and choices will have to be made for war or victory in this epic quest.The books in the series - Stolen, Blood and Fire, and Gatekeeper - have been integrated into a seamless story, to the point that it is difficult to determine where one novel ends and the next begins. Predictably, the plot rises and falls, but the tension never fades completely as the characters rush from one peril to the next."Dakota Kemp, Self-Publishing Review.
