Legacy of Light #3
A War for Love
Some evil isn't meant to end.
War is inevitable, it's outcome unpredictable. With the Tri-Gard in their grasp and magic returned to the land, Trystan should rejoice in the hope it has brought. Instead, he finds himself watching his sister let the power consume her. He watches Davion struggle with memories wrought by that same power, twisted and confusing. And he knows, nothing good comes from magic. The Dark King has brought his army across the border, gathering magic as they move, and Trystan must march to meet them with his army of farmers and merchants. An army that has not yet learned how to control their new power. This time, it looks like they've lost the war before spilling first drop of blood. But the first rule of magic is that it shouldn't be underestimated, because sometimes, it can have a life of its own.

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.
