A princess turned renegade, Aideen is conscripted in the most unlikely way to save her people. As the newly minted leader of a cobbled together militia, Aideen no longer has the luxury to be self-indulged. All under the orders of an elusive man called Tiergran, who claims he will bring Re’and out of the Dark Age. She survives a kidnapping, endures battle training, and tries her hand at spying before embarking on a journey that will carry her far from home to protect her country’s way of life, all the while threatening to take her own.
Victoria Easter Wilson wrote her first book at age six, a charming little memoir about her experience breaking a finger. She's been scribbling away ever since. Re'and is her first published work. An avid reader, as most writers are, she holds a BA in English Literature. (And lives in perpetual fear that her degree may be revoked at any moment based on the embarrassing grammatical errors she is still prone to make.) Victoria enjoys taking long walks, savoring the company of friends, brewing coffee, and consuming more Nutella than she probably should. She lives in Kentucky with her amazingly handsome husband, Ben, and yummy baby girl, Carson. They have no plans to be pet owners, ever. Just in case you were wondering.

This book is great. I love the character development, the snark, the detail in the setting, and the plot. "Re'and" is the name of the world and there are many countries/nations within Re'and. I won't give away the story, but I will tell you that it reminded me of Middle Earth in that humans were one of several different races in the story.
I really enjoyed Re'and. The characters were very engaging! I kept turning the pages, intrigued to know how the story would develop and what happened to the characters in the end. A fun read!
