Eostre's Curse #2
Eostre's Curse: Book Two: Redemption
Three naïve young Welshmen travel with an unscrupulous French trader on a perilous two-thousand-mile journey to Constantinople for a magic Bloodstone to bring back the rain and save their drought-stricken village.
Now, less than halfway, with one dead and one lost, only two remain to finish the quest, find the Bloodstone, and save the village.
In Book Two, the travelers cross the bandit-plagued lands and survive the grim forests of Central Europe to reach Constantinople where war, betrayal, and death await.

About the author
S.A. McCoy
2 books3 followersS.A. McCoy is the author of two published novels - Eostre's Curse, Book One: Sacrifice and Eostre's Curse, Book Two: Redemption.
He currently lives in Al Ain, The United Arab Emirates and is a English Lecturer at The United Arab Emirates University. He has a wife, three children, four cats, and three dogs.
He has visited 16 countries, lived in 5 countries, speaks 6 languages, and is slightly magnetic. He enjoys picking up heavy things and putting them down again, mountain biking, dune bashing, and drinking. He hopes someday to live in a cave.
He makes excellent limoncello, good sourdough bread, and damn fine BBQ.
He was born in Marshall, Minnesota, the U.S. of A. and knows what lutefisk, lefse, smelt, and krumkake are.
He probably drinks too much and thinks too little or perhaps the reverse.
It took him about six years to write his novels, though the first draft was done in six months. The rest of the time was spent revising and cursing his fate.
At the request of his seven-year old daughter, he is now writing a young adult fantasy novel, called Rosebay Willowherb. In it, a brownie girl and her blind grandfather have to stop a Pooka from destroying the world as they know it.

Well - honestly - I loved every second of this story (I read both books back-to-back). I couldn't put it down. It was quick and fun, but also showed depth through the relationships of its main characters. The adventure was unbelievable and easy from time to time, but, I was left wanting more--not that the story was incomplete, just that I wanted to live in that world a bit longer.
It wasn't perfect. There were a few technical difficulties with the text (I read the print version) and sometimes the pacing was weird, but, I was genuinely caught up in the story and those things didn't matter - I only thought about them upon reflection.
I think that the author is just getting started wowing his audience, and I can't wait to read what comes next.
