Warrior
Book Two in the Great Lands Series
In times of great darkness, wisdom lights the way home.
Gabriella felt the mounting impatience of the Great Prince. His actions grew rash, and his judgement was compromised. She could not afford to wait until he razed every village and destroyed every forest in his search for her.
She growled at the thought of her people being slaughtered, whether in their beds or on the battlefield. This was their feud, not the war of ordinary people.
At that thought, the Moon shimmered and replied, "Ah, but that is where you are wrong, daughter..."
Discover the Great Lands series. Messenger. Warrior. Queen.

Last year, I read the first book in a series of an introspective and thoughtful fantasy novel by an author I had made an online acquaintance through a Facebook writers group. That first novel, Messenger, got my attention through its absorbing prose and a protagonist, Gabriella determined to stop the evil Great Prince from conquering the Great Lands.
Warrior picks up where Messenger left off. The Great Lands have been decimated and the Great Prince is on the hunt to find Gabriella that has escaped from his grasp. Gabriella is still struggling with her calling as the Messenger, but has to come to grips with her destiny before she is found by the Great Prince. Also, her calling is intertwined with several people, beginning with her twin sister, Hannah, sacrificed by her parents to become the wife of the Great Prince. Her lover, Adrian, is a wizard who will have to deal with a powerful sorceress determined to steal his heart from Gabriella. And Casmiere, her beloved horse, sworn to protect its master at all costs.
Tremills does a good job of weaving these plot threads together and bringing the story to a solid conclusion. Warrior was well-written and absorbing. I found Gabriella as a protagonist, compelling and interesting. But, I wanted to see the cost of Gabriella embracing her calling rather than being told about it. It was like sitting at a campfire listening to the storyteller give me every detail of the story and not leave anything for my imagination to figure out for myself.
Despite that quibble, I had a good reading experience with Warrior. If you looking for an absorbing and unusual epic fantasy novel to add to your TBR List, then Warrior is worth recommending. Make sure you read Messenger first.

I love this series, it is a deep and beautiful fantasy story, full of wisdom.
Gabriella, is on the run from the Great Prince, who still hankers after her when he is lucid enough to think for himself. Travelling on her own, separated from her love, Aidan, she has no idea who to trust. In the end the danger comes from an unexpected source, forcing her to change her direction and fight for what matters most.
Hannah, freed from the grip of the sentient Palace and the Great Prince, now travels with two faithful and trusted companions, and explores her new relationship with her friend Syrena. She is also challenged on the issue of trust and the concept of a sentient building is pushed to another level during her explorations of her family home.
It is Aidan, travelling with Gabriella’s horse, who faces the biggest trial and threat as he becomes the focus on the search for the Prince’s search for the Messenger.
The second book in the Great Lands series, this is a beautiful and heartfelt installment in the story.
I can’t wait to get back to this world, to find out what happens next.

I am not typically a fantasy fan, but if you are, and are looking for stories with strong female protoganist, this is a great choice. Beautifully written and very engaging, I highly recommend it!
