Rousing fantasy adventure with a butt-kicking heroine.
After famously aloof general Eliza learns that Prince Milton plans to steal the crown, she leaves the battlefront to warn her king of his brother's treachery. When things don't go as planned and she loses her strongest allies, she must find new ones alongside young archer Charles who discovered the prince's plot. Along the way, she forges new friendships and learns to open her heart again. But Prince Milton's ambitions go beyond the throne, and all Eliza has may not be enough to stop him.
Billy Wong is an avid fan of heroic fantasy, with a special love for strong female warriors. He draws inspiration from the epic legends of old, and is on a quest to bring over the top deeds and larger than life heroes back to prominence in today's literary world.
Eliza is wrong for serving the king and her friends are right. The prince is evil, and the king doesn't deserve any loyalty. Angus and Maeve were right for leaving her. That being said I just couldn't like this book with Eliza being stupid and continuously making excuses for those she served.
Eliza never grows as a character and she was wrong throughout most of this book.
Sorry I will not be. Using anything else from this author.
Eliza finds out that Prince Milton plans to steal the crown. She decides to go and warn the Kings brother of the upcoming betrayal. It is not long and she losses her best allies and must find new ones. Along with a young archer named Charles, they face many battles to save the crown.
A fast paced action adventure with a strong female lead. The plot is original with a lot of action, danger and intense thrilling moments. Both Eliza and Charles are likable, together they are willing to do what they must to see justice is served. I highly recommend Duskfall to those who live action/adventure. Definitely five stars!
An enjoyable tale of adventure and laughter as the unforgettable general Eliza the unreachable, Agnes the great swordsman, mad Maeve and Charles the shortbow try to save their king from the treachery of his brother Prince Milton who has allied himself with the evil duskmen to take over the throne.
Action! Adenture! A really savvy and pro-active young woman who does what must be done in the name of right. See publisher's blurb for clues, but you can't go wrong with Billy Wong for a great page turner! Thanks LibraryThing!
