An Oath on His Sword

by T.S. Snow

NEVER INSULT THE GODS… By his own admission, Riven kan Ingan is a non-believer, denying the existence of magic or religion. He may have been raised by the Margrave of Francovia, but as the son of a barbarian sellsword, he’s never allowed to forget his foreign ancestry. Determined to fulfill the prophecy that he’s to become a king, Riven schemes to hurry his destiny along by marrying the margrave’s daughter, Aleza. Unfortunately, the gods of Arcanis, insulted by his denial of their existence, have other plans. When Aleza is kidnapped by the sorcerer Mahldimir Djaan-Baih, Riven swears a bloodseek oath to rescue her. The princess is restored to her, father but there’s no Happily Ever After for the young skeptic. Thanks to the gods, Riven falls in love with a woman he can’t have. There’s nothing he can do to forget her and no way he can claim her…and this punishment is just the beginning.

Riven kan Ingan: continues the destiny

An Oath on His Sword, Book 2 in T.S. Snow’s fantasy God Chosen saga is a tale filled with adventure and at all times ruled by Riven kan Ingan’s unbending loyalty.
After a brutal assault and the kidnapping of his lady love, Aleza, daughter of the king of Francovia, Riven is left for dead. Despite the odds, he recovers from his injuries, then sets out to avenge the slaughter of his men by the dreaded B’akshir of Ismhir: the Blessed Two Thousand and bring Aleza back to her homeland.
As he proceeds on his mission, the Weaver of Lives looks down from above, guiding his every action—and tossing in the occasional monkey wrench to teach Riven important lessons in life. At the Weaver’s side are a host of Gods and demi-Gods—and they are not always happy with this warrior.
As with her previous Star Smuggler series, author Snow shows her enviable skills for world building which she populates with diverse, multi-layered characters. And what a job she’s done with this new series. Well done!

On a scale of 1-5, God Chosen, An Oath on His Sword deserves a 5.
