Book Description
Servant to Kings
"Every bheancoran serves and protects a prince," said lowen. "But I have no prince."
Her aunt smiled. "You may never have a prince. But I think, dearheart, that you might serve...a king!"
Freedom's Promise
For generations, the Somber Riders have ruled the Calae lands.But this spring brings more than green buds, crying lambs, and sparkling burns.It brings new promise.
Destiny, that bold weaver, is pulling together three shining strands: A girl bheancoran by blood, whose Rune Blade thirsts for justice.A brash young sovereign whose heart seeks vengeance.And a renegade Somber Rider, touched with Tyadda magic, who remembers a long-forgotten dream. . .
About the Author
Ann Marston grew up back and forth across most of Canada, and now lives in Edmonton, Alberta. She has worked as a teacher, a flight instructor, an airline pilot and an airport manager and is deeply involved in her local Adult Literacy Project. She has two children, Laura who is a fourth generation pilot, and Daniel, who is a computer genius, and is currently owned by three cats, Pixel, Canrith Backspin, and Friend, who continually try to organize her but haven't quite succeeded. She writes fantasy because everyone knows pilots don't live in the real world anyway.

Wish there were more,
By Mari Kath (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: King of Shadows: Book Two in the Sword in Exile Trilogy (Mass Market Paperback)
I was completely drawn in by the characters and the story. I would recommend any of Ann Marston's books to my friends.

Applause for an excellent book,

This review is from: King of Shadows: Book Two in the Sword in Exile Trilogy (Mass Market Paperback)
Ann Marston has woven together a classic fantasy, ranking high among the many post Tolkein authors who attempt to craft a story as masterfully as he did. While steeped in magic, King of Shadows, to it's credit, is not so unrealisticly magical that it becomes abstract and stupid. This book has a great co-main character in Cynric, even more appealing than the star of the first book in this trilogy, Gareth. My only complaint is that, as the trilogy moves on seemingly towards the story of the foretold king who will free the land, it seems likely we will not hear anymore of Cynric first hand in Marston's next book, Sword and Shadow.
