Product Description
Product Description
Charged with recovering The Shintae, an ancient relic of mystical properties, the Mara©n warrior, Ka©r, is surprised by the enemy and, almost within reach of safety, he is left for dead. The object is taken from him and once more he must travel deep into the Canta©n Mountains. There, with his companion Angharad, he faces great danger, adventure, and all-out war before his arduous task can be completed. Standing in his way is Sartae, an antagonist whose evil ambitions know no bounds, a leader whose cruelty and hatred is legendary. As the mission progresses, they receive help from the most unlikely of sources, but in the end, they must use all their skill and knowledge to keep themselves alive. As the venture races to its explosive climax, even this may not prove sufficient.

A great adventure..., July 17 2006
By Patricia Perry "author" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Shintae (Paperback)
Review for The Shintae, by Brian R. HillThe Shintae, a mysterious stone with magical powers, is entrusted to the forest-dwelling Maraens. The Cantaens, the Maraens' enemies living in the mountains, steal the stone to use against them. The Maraen hero, Kaer, manages to get the stone back but is ambushed by a group of Cantaens and loses the Shintae to them. The race is on to retrieve the Shintae before the Cantaens learn to decipher the words that will set free its incredible power.
Brian R. Hill's fantasy tale is richly told. His characters are strong, determined and dedicated to their tasks. They face many obstacles yet refuse to yield to any of them. Mr. Hill's story takes the reader on an incredible journey through snowy mountains, the aftermath of an avalanche and into a long deserted city whose ghosts still watch out for the rare traveler that passes through. The most impressive description is that of Myssous, the Maraen capital.
The Shintae is an exciting book that will draw the reader in from the moment they turn the first page. If you enjoy action, adventure and strong characters then read The Shintae. I highly recommend this book and am looking forward to Mr. Hill's next book.

Thoroughly enjoyable read, Mar 8 2006
By Lynne Moxam - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Shintae (Paperback)
This book caught my interest on the first paragraph and held it throughout the whole story. Mr Hill moves the story along beautifully, it is very difficult to put this book down once you begin. I for one certainly hope that there is a sequel to come.

A great yarn, very well told, Jan 1 2006
By Michael Blackburn - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Shintae (Paperback)
This book goes along at a smart pace, once started it is hard to put down. The characters are three dimensional and interesting, the story consistent, the various threads well crafted and culminating in breathtaking action.One aspect of "The Shintae" which, for me, sets it apart from many others of its genre is the way in which Brian Hill has managed to create the atmosphere of the scene of the action, describing the landscape in such a manner that you really feel you are accompanying the heroes on there quest through the forests and mountains of this tightly written novel.
I hope there will be a sequel, I can't wait to read it!
Listmania!
