Captured by a desperate lord intent on turning his fortunes around, Alys de Sant is forced to reveal her greatest secret to save her life.
Alekka is a kingdom riven with rivalries – even its gods are at war – and now, after twenty years of relative peace, the king’s enemies are emboldened, threatening to rise against him.
Shut away in a small village, Alys is oblivious to it all until she is torn from her home and family and forced to confront the dark forces at work, and her own mysterious past.
Lord Reinar Vilander is acutely aware of the king’s precarious position, for his fortress guards the bridge to Alekka’s capital. Enemies range above him, planning their attack. Enemies with dreamers capable of wielding dark magic. And a skilled dreamer is surely worth a few thousand men.
Needing to act fast to shore up his defenses, Reinar takes his ships to sea looking for slaves to sell. Slaves will earn him the silver to tempt more warriors to fight beneath his banner. Though one of the women catches his eye, and then captures his attention entirely. A beautiful woman in a green dress.
Her name is Alys.
And Alys is about to save his life.

A.E. Rayne is an epic fantasy author from New Zealand who grew up with a love of history and, thanks to her beloved Swedish grandmother, a fascination with Vikings. Unable to locate or build a time machine as a child, she instead invented her own worlds and thrilling adventures. In them, she was usually wielding a sword, overcoming impossible odds, and heroically saving the day. She is tenacious, dogged, willful, loyal, and brutally honest. Which, if you’ve read her books, might just remind you of her most famous character, Jael Furyck.
She has a degree in Communication Studies with a major in television and has also trained as a graphic designer. So not only does she write vivid, cinematic books, but she designs their covers as well.
When she’s not writing, she enjoys staying home with her husband, their three children and a menagerie of animals, endlessly planning trips she never takes. Though one day…
Enjoyable action filled Viking style storyline. Author loves to juggle and intertwine storylines so you need to keep up and follow where she takes you. The ride is worth the effort.
I don't give easy five-star reviews... but sometimes my standards drop in certain genres if i go thru a dry spell of so-so plots. Lords of Alekka, though, is a series that made me skip lunch, stay up late, and grab the next in series like a rabid addict! No less than a 5-star rating acceptable and it satisfied every thing I look for in an awesome read. Anyone who likes LOTR will enjoy this.
Great adventure and interesting characters that keep you turning the pages with constantly new things to overcome. Lots of twist and surprises. Expertly written making everyone’s movements, quirks, personalities and locations easy to visualize. The pages come to life before your eyes. Already read her other series and read this one because I enjoyed that world so much
What a ride. I'm not sure what lit a fire under this author, but I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed this series. I liked the Lords of Alekka so much more than the Furyk saga. The characters are more richly drawn, the conflicts more relatable, and while the plot tends to turn more than twist, there's enough investment to be genuinely interested in how it all plays out. I hope the series keeps up the pace. I almost want to stop here on a high note.
I simply loved these books it is that simple. As a teacher I often find it hard to really enjoy a book as I am constantly editing it as I go along. Not with these, they are incredibly well written. The characters are easy to get to know, the pace is good and plot often unpredictable. More, more, more.
An epic journey from start to finish. The Lords of Alekka box set delivers a rich fantasy world with layered characters, intense battles, and deep political intrigue. A.E. Rayne’s storytelling is immersive and well paced, making it easy to get lost in the saga. The cover is striking and captures the grand, mythical tone of the series. A must for fans of epic fantasy who love a good long read.
This is a wonderful series of books. The characters are very likeable and the magic is quite original. It is very fast paced with lots of action. I am really looking forward to the next book.
This is one of those book series you don't want to put down or for it to end. The names were a challenge at first, but it made them memorable. The Lord's with their Dreamers and the Gods who watch over them. Do the Dreamers ever really die?
Much to say, not so much time, though. So, simplest way to describe: it’s been an absolutely amazing experience for me, while I’ve lost myself in that book :)! Thank you for a great time I’ve had and, can’t wait to have some more of it again, thumbs up!
Well written, great action, and exacting drama. Is not my usual genre, but loving every page! After reading the first 3, I had to buy the next ones in the series. I can t wait to see what happens next.
Wonderfully addictive! Great read full of action, love, and heartbreak. Characters to love and hate. Redemption for some but karma for others. Highly recommend!
This was a good read. I am glad it was three books in one. This way I was able to get the series read without having to hunt for each book in the series.
This series is great after reading the first six books in the Furyk Saga this series picks up in the same world. The characters are just as epic the story just as entertaining. Read it
Lots of fun spending hours with A.E. Rayne. Had to take just one star away because the stories move along kind of slowly. Still though, no real complaints and looking forward to 4, 5, & 6!
