A War for Love

Rate this book
Previously published as Mastery of Earth.
I'll never forgive myself. I'm no longer the no-name orphan taken in by the crown. We know who I really am. The secret took everything good in this world and twisted it.

Rissa, once the beacon of righteousness, now kills without hesitation.

Trystan almost died by my hand.

The mythical magic keepers are divided and may never return magic to the land.

But still, we must ride to war. We must fight for the realm one last time.

At least when I die, It will be for something I believe in.

I'm Davion. The kid who betrayed the realm unknowingly. The young man who fell in love with a fiery princess he knew he couldn't have.

And now... the man who rides to war against someone he should love.

Like I said, I'll never forgive myself for the things I've done.

But maybe all that matters is what I do next.

The end of a fantasy epic! If once magic had given your land everything, the very food to nourish your body, the spirit to feed your soul, what would you do to see magic returned to your land? The future king of such an impoverished land may have to sacrifice everything for his people. Start this great series today!

The evil king of a neighboring realm caused Trystan’s land to lose the magic that sustained it twenty years ago. Prince Trystan and his sister, Rissa, have already lost their father to this battle. Their lost friend has returned to them, though forever changed. Davi grew up in the castle with them, an orphan boy that the king raised as his own. He came back a prince, son of the very king they must defeat in the coming war.

With magic returned to the land, all those born since it was taken must learn to wield their power in defense of their homes. Trystan must raise an army, not just of warriors but of magic users to have any hope of victory. They expect their land to come under attack at any time.

Davi still wrestles with the false memories implanted in his father’s castle. But when he learns that his father intends on killing hundreds of innocent villagers, with his cousin among them, as traitors he can’t sit idle. Though they just escaped the realm, Davi and Rissa gather a small band to return to their enemy’s land to save her. What will happen when Davi comes face to face with his father again? Can he hold his true memories? Or will he succumb and fall under his father’s power once again?

Can Trystan raise an army with enough power to win this war? What sacrifice will be called for? Must he lose everyone he loves to save his people?

This was such a powerful story. A battle of good and evil,love and hate,strength and weakness , magic and non magic, lust for power versus fight for the oppressed. You can’t have light without dark.
There was so much going on in this book, this series that I can’t quite put into words. It captured your emotions, your imagination, your passion and your heart.
I will so miss all the wonderful characters that were created here to gel into such an epic adventure. I felt all the trials and tribulations that occurred, all the loss but also the compassion.
I was transported to another world which I will revisit from time to time .
I feel all the richer for having read this and can’t recommend it enough.

a bit of a twist on the swords and sorcery genre

I enjoyed this series despite a need for proofreading and some editing. It centres around a brother and sister children of a king whose land has lost magic and who have to face a despotic vengeful ruler of the neighbouring powerful kingdom. This tyrant thinks only of himself and will use any means to gain and keep power no matter how despicable

Book 3

Book 3 was a fun read and had errors throughout. The plot was predictable, but was fun to read and see how the characters grew. I enjoyed the series overall.
