This book is a serious 5 out of 5 stars for me. Below is my description of the story, a link to pick up a copy of the book, and a blurb about the author. Hope you enjoy!
Title: Son of the Shield, Book One of The Rasom Trilogy
Author: Mary Schlegel
Genre: Fantasy
Audience: Adult
Sorek Ronarres and diplomat Orienne Verasi knew each other as children. But when they reunite unexpectedly as adults, the circumstances are not ideal. Their country Farindel is at war with Cytharoc - and unbeknownst to her, Orienne's childhood crush, Sorek, has been working with Cytharoc instead of Farindel over the last decade. To make matters worse, Farindel's natural defenses have been breached and a magical madness is driving their enemies.
This early adult is so full of twists and turns and well thought out characters that I had a hard time putting it down (once I found a way to escape some of my chores).
The audio book is due out soon!

Since I can't find a website for Mary Schlegel, here is her Author Blurb from her book:
Mary Schlegel grew up spending as much time outdoors as indoors, acting out imaginary adventures with her dog and horse, fancying herself a Medieval princess, and devouring literary fiction. She is now a full-time mom, homemaker, author, and artist. She writes fantasy and science fiction that are heavily inspired by her love of nature, science, and Medieval history, and her style is influenced by the literary authors she loves to this day. Mary is an unashamed tea fanatic, and was formerly a professional tea taster and brewer. She also has an unusual superpower for finding four-leafed clovers everywhere she goes, including foreign countries. She considers free-climbing a two-hundred-foot cliff on the coast of Northern Ireland, and working on a dinosaur excavation in Colorado to be among her more remarkable accomplishments. She, her husband, and their growing family live in the Ozark Mountains of Missouri.
She does have an Amazon Author Page you can visit here. Hope you enjoy!
