Spirians

Spirian Saga

by Rowena Portch

Love defies all odds, but not without a price. In the year 1736, hidden in the Scottish Highlands, turmoil goes beyond the battle of good and evil. Human Angels (Spirians), battle the Fallen (Shadows), to restore balance on Earth. Shanuk has more gifted power than the elders have seen for centuries, but his ego and temper make him a dangerous lure for the nefarious Shadows, of whom he has already gained interest. When they take Calla, his intended mate, Shanuk sets on a course of destruction to gain her back.


Fueled by vengeance and the need to reclaim what is his, Shanuk’s powers increase, which is precisely what the Shadows want. To save Calla and the Spirian clan, he must control his eminent power or fall victim to the Shadows’ seductive charm. Is he the hope the Angel’s had prophesied, or will he become their most formidable foe?

[Maria Frisby · Rating 5 out of 5]

Spirians is a great story about love, struggle, pride, and humility. It follows the unpredictable and arduous journey of Shanuk, a young Protected Spirian, as he is challenged on all sides as a man, a leader, and a friend. It expounds upon the ethereal battle between good and evil on many levels, and between what is truth and what is a lie. There is the perfect balance of romance and war in this book, and you will not be disappointed with its ability to draw you into the story and make you forget everything else. I couldn't put it down! Portch did a great job of opening the reader's eyes to the legend of the Spirians in "The Beginning," the same legend which is artfully traced and expanded in the other books of this saga. The characters are well-rounded and interconnected, and from beginning to end, there is much to discover about them. The twists, turns, mountains, and valleys in Spirians will have you holding on to the edge of your seat the entire time, rooting for the characters and feeling their every joy and pain. It really is a very good read, and you will enjoy every moment of it.
