This reminds me of an old Arthurian story so much😍😍😍😍. A search for an ancient sword along with a searching of the soul. This book like the others had action, adventure, and faith. Except this one had an extra element woven into the story; Mystery. I💖LOVED the mystery that was based with scriptures in this book. I don't think I could of figured it out without Niall and Alys interpretions, which is what made the story so AMAZING. Alys and Niall really made a powerful couple. I💖LOVED that they both complimented each other with their faith, knowledge, fighting skills, and leadership.  I also💖LOVED the scene at the end where their is a prophecy about this AMAZING couple. Niall really reminds me of Arthur, due to the island he once reigned over and Alys reminded me also of him due to the sword. That is another reason they compliment each other so well. They are both like the leaders of old. I really can't say enough about this wonderful couple besides they are my favorite of this series. Lastly I must mention about them, though, is that they were really at their best when they were fighting together, which I 💖LOVED. Their was a twist I did not see coming at all. It was a VERY big suprise and was a major turning point in the story. The scene that was one of my favorites and that I really💖LOVED was on pages 163-167 about the wolves and the bear. That scene was so amazing it was just like a scene out of the Bible. Also I have to mention SECRET PASSAGE 💖💖💖💖. I💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖LOVED this book if I could I would give it 10 stars. It is an instant classic. I VERY VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.

Rivalyn is a fast-paced medieval adventure from start to finish. I loved the main character, Alys and her courageous heart. I was also inspired by the clear Christian message and symbolism as the story unfolded. The romance was clean and sweet and the suspense made this a real page turner. This story is a wonderful addition to the Forgotten Kingdoms Series and I do hope the author continues with more medieval books. 5 stars from me!
