Description

When a prophecy brings war to the Hill Lands, Keeley Smythe must join forces with a clan of mountain warriors in a thrilling new fantasy romance series from New York Times bestselling author G.A. Aiken.

The Old King Is Dead

With the demise of the Old King, there’s a prophecy that a queen will ascend to the throne of the Hill Lands. Bad news for the king’s sons, who are prepared to defend their birthright against all comers. But for blacksmith Keeley Smythe, war is great for business. Until it looks like the chosen queen will be Beatrix, her younger sister. Now it’s all Keeley can do to protect her family from the enraged royals.
 
Luckily, Keeley doesn’t have to fight alone. Because thundering to her aid comes a clan of kilt-wearing mountain warriors called the Amichais. Not the most socially adept group, but soldiers have never bothered Keeley, and rough, gruff Caid actually seems to respect her. A good thing because the fierce warrior will be by her side for a much longer ride than any prophecy ever envisioned . . .

    Hands down the most fantastic book I’ve ever read, and I have read a looooot of books. It’s the perfect blend of fantasy, humor, mayhem and non stop action. I wish it could be made into a movie so I can watch it a million times. If you are still thinking about it, stop wasting time and just start reading already!
  • Hammer time!

    What a strong and captivating beginning to a series! The adventures and intrigue will keep you entertained from start to finish. The strength of the characters and the world they traverse is more than just physical. The bonds of the families is enviable compared to the villains; the Princes have fractured and all believe they should be king, but a Queen will rise from the fields of nothing to show her power. Only which sister will prevail?

    So glad I learned of these books from friends, and had read and enjoyed the first two before seeing how viciously the reviewer for Publishers Weekly had panned the books! Epic and hilarious.

    We are introduced to a farmer’s family at the beginning, but they’re all trained to fight. Their dad is a former soldier and their mom is a blacksmith. There are a huge number of kids in the family, and there’s a prophecy that one of the kids is the next queen. There are centaurs that show up to take the next queen to the witches who prophesied that she’d rise to power.

    I have never laughed and chuckle so much in a book. The sisters bicker like I do with mine, but we don’t physically fight. I really enjoyed this book, there was a lot mystery, humor, lots and lots of action. Few aww moments, but also the events that would occur if a king died and his evil family fought among themselves and all the innocents who are caught up in the drama. There was a lot fantasy characters in the book. Great book. Now have to get the second book in series
