Eagle's Flight

The Chronicles of Adalmearc #1

by D.E. Olesen

The King is dead. His heir too young to rule. Who will claim the crown?

The noble houses gather to choose a new Lord Protector, sparking old rivalries. If they can't agree, civil war looms. That is if foreign kingdoms don't smell blood in the water and invade first.

Lord Vale wants to take up the mantle, spurred by his ambitious brother Konstans.

Lord Isarn likewise seeks this power. He is aided – or thwarted – by the return of his brother, the knight and war hero Athelstan, whose squire, Brand, hopes to restore his family’s fortunes no matter the cost.

Through all of this, an enigmatic traveler makes plans with jarls, scribes, and priests for his own mysterious purpose.

Only one thing is for certain. War is inevitable.

DNF'd! So much political machinations, I just couldn't get around the political machinations. I kept wanting and waiting for something to happen anything to happen as hope springs eternal, but seriously nothing happened except more politing. Maybe I'll gird my loins and try again later. I actually did continue to listen as the narrator was pretty good!! But after finishing a half dozen books or so and giving this a good chance with only 4hrs left in the book I decided that I've got better books to read right now.

I really enjoyed this book. The characters were really interesting and drew you in. You could tell that the storyline was really thought out in the way that it was written. I’m very excited that this is a series, so the story continues.
