This is a fantastic first book in this trilogy. This is the story of twins, Languoreth and Lailoken, children of King Morken. They are being tutored by Cathan during an uprising and difficult time in Scotland. They are during the transition between the Old Ways into Christianity and this is a main theme. They are also prematurely forced into battles due to the circumstances of the time.
This is a thrilling and wild ride with incredible atmosphere.
Because this is an older release, I was able to listen to the audiobook as well as physically read the eARC. This is a wonderful audiobook. The narration and narrator infuse the atmosphere into the words. You feel as though you are in a Castle in Scotland, snuggled by a blazing fire and drinking a hot cup of tea as you listen/read.
I highly recommend.
