The Light of Andrea #1
Swiftmain
Swiftmain named gold metal winner in the Kops-fetherling International Book Awards!
“I only know two things for certain. One, I am being hunted.
Two, if I am caught, all hope for Andrea is lost.”
Whispers in the dark. Vague clues. Deadly threats.
In a kingdom where an unfit ruler has taken the throne by underhanded means, one girl holds the knowledge that could release her people from his chokehold. There are rumors of a lost prince—the true heir—and Raina Swiftmain needs one more piece of the puzzle before she can begin to find him. There are others who will try to stop her at any cost, and she must learn to evade and escape them. A rogue knight claims to have the crucial information she seeks, but is he truly trustworthy or just another enemy? As Raina faces her mission, she desperately clings to her faith that God is in control, and that He alone will decide the fate of Andrea.

Raina Swiftmain holds a clue to the salvation of her country, and she knows her job is to finish what her parents started. But her task involves overthrowing an evil king who is armed to the teeth and will taxes and starves his people to death. How will she discover the keys she needs for freedom? And what will it cost her?
"Swiftmain" tells the story of Raina's quest for answers. On the journey, she relies on two animal friends and must decide if she will trust Torin, a knight who insists on helping. Through their journey, they reaffirm their faith, face and overcome obstacles, and discover clues together that may unlock freedom.
This book is a fun and fast read. I enjoyed the faith elements and reminders that God guides and works behind the scenes. The animals steal the show for me.
I could have used with less romance. It took away from the story and makes me not want to read other volumes in this series. There is also quite a bit of violence from period sword fights. The author also sometimes uses flashbacks, which interrupt the flow.
Readers who enjoy a good medieval story with a strong female heroine will like "Swiftmain."

received a free copy of this book, and I am very glad I did. It’s hard to find a good fantasy story that is also Christian, but the author did an excellent job of weaving them together. Extremely vivid descriptions let me clearly imagine the settings and animals in the book. I can tell a lot of research went into the book, from horse behavior to how a bottle raised tiger might behave. A great story, I can’t wait for the next book to come out!

Hated the ending but looking forward to the war. I would definitely read more from this author.
