Jael Furyck is Brekka’s greatest warrior, destined to be the queen, but when her father dies, her uncle steals the throne. And now he plans to marry her off; eager to remove the threat she poses to his reign; keen to forge an alliance with his arch-enemy that will fill his empty coffers with gold.
Eadmund Skalleson is broken by grief, sinking further into an ale-pit of despair. But his father is out of patience. He wants Eadmund to be the heir to the throne he so desperately needs, before it’s too late. Before he has no choice but to turn to an unthinkable alternative.
And as the scheming kings of Brekka and Oss embrace their newfound alliance, plotting to conquer their rich southern neighbours, Jael and Eadmund find themselves desperately searching for an escape from the fast-approaching destiny neither of them wants.
A destiny planned by the gods themselves.

#1 Winter's Fury
A brilliant first book to what looks to be a compelling saga.
Drama and treachery on a number of different venues, all simultaneously playing out in the same time frame.
Yes, a very enthralling tale!
#2 The Burning Sea
Being called in to be part of the attack on Hest, as part of the alliance with the Islanders and Brekka, the two pronged attack, from sea and land. Eadmund and Jael were under threat from many different sources. However, with help from friends and family, their backs were covered, and even in a situation where distance caused communication difficulties, unless you were able to communicate on another plane.
This second book of this saga explains a lot, but causes a lot more questions, which we hopefully will see answers in the further episodes.
#3 Night of the Shadow Moon
Our saga continues, with incidents in Oss, Hest, Kalfa, Andala and Tuura, simultaneously.
It is fast moving action on all fronts, with siblings fighting siblings, kings being assassinated and members of "The Following", do everything possible to rain havoc down on Jael and her intrepid band of woman and men, trying to preserve life for all.
Again an excellent and dramatic episode. -
Epic and dark
This kept me turning pages well into the night, I couldn't stop reading. This is a book for anyone who loves epic and dark fantasy. The characters are alive and breathing. The world is huge and believable. -
This took longer to read than it normally would.
I put it aside to read something else and completely forgot about it.
That might be some of the reason for the low score.
I couldn't quite get into it again, and found it a bit boring. -
Everyone needs this series in their life!!!!!! It’s an epic fantasy story told from multiple view points with a masterful skill in story telling that kept me glued to my kindle!! This author is writing something very special with this series and I’d highly recommend it 😁 5 stars!!!

long winded similar to lord of rings or Game of thrones
This is such a long series I read all 3 books and had to skim through about half. The villains that could have been dead already are not it’s taken 3 books just to get to the prophecy like oh my god how much can this be drawn out. Now we’re on book 4 and no villain is dead , the main characters are back at square one. Like what is happening thank god it’s on KU so I’m gonna skip to book 6 and read the last 20 pages but mostly skim just go see how it ends. The writing itself isn’t bad it’s just feels like the author is trying to get as many books as possible out of one storyline when this could have been fleshed out within 3 books not 6. Also this book features constant sexual assault it feels like every book there’s at least 2 brutal rape scenes. -
Having read Winter's Fury a couple of years ago and given it a five-star rating, I was looking forward to seeing how it stood up in a reread as part of this three-book box set.
I was still blown away by the story, the characters, the world-building, the action and the suspense, which had me devouring this book, and the following two in this set at a phenomenal rate (for me).
There is a lot of action and suspense in these books and it unwinds at a fast pace, but for me, it is the characters and their personalities that are the highlights together with their interactions, which can be quite blunt and colourful, is such a delight to read.
My favourite author is David Gemmell, and these books remind me so much of his writing style with the action and characterisation, that I would enthusiastically recommend them to my fellow Gemmellites. -
I really like this series of books, but I think some of the paragraphs could have been left out. The books could have been condensed. The plot was good, some of the characters were great…some?? (Questionable.)
As for the married couple (Eadmund and Jeal), they were a joke if you ask me. They were not together long enough for them to get to know each other. I think that would have been better if they were related to each other or just friends.
I think she could have kept the series, but ended each book differently. Leaving a book unfinished like these are sad. But I am going to start the next book because I am curious about how this end. Hopefully, the next book ends better than the first 3. -
This series started off rough for me with the first book. It wasn't terrible, but the pacing of the story and the pacing of the characterization was off and difficult to get into at first.
However, by the end of the first book, I was hooked and very interested in finding out what came next.
By the end of the second book, I was much more in love with the characters.
And by the end of the third book, I was sold on this potentially becoming one of my favorite fantasy series.
There aren't many woman authored fantasy series and while I would say the first book needed some work, the series as a whole is inspiring and keeps you on the edge of your seat! -
More an epic romance !
Don't get me wrong , while this is a good story , for m, too much emphasis is placed on the characters love lives . It seemed like every second chapter was dealing with problems in the romances of Jael Alexander , Thorgils Edmund , and even the bad guys . Like I said the story line with attempted takeovers , strange happenings , and battle scenes is basically good but the , in my opinion , emphasis on the romantic entanglements spoiled it for me . I won't be continuing after the first three . -
Fantastic
First I have not read or seen Game of Thrones, so when there were reviews comparing this series to that. I was not sure how much I would like the books.
But I couldn't stop reading, so a few sleepless nights later, I am hooked.
Great story, characters, the building of the story line and all of the great work the author put into these things. Is fantastic. A must read. -
i loved the concept of the story and how the history has been interweaved and does drag the story, however i found the whole story slow because of the in-depth (amazing) detail that i struggle to get along with. i found that the next 3 books are where it really gets interesting but you have to read the series in order to understand.
there were some interesting character development
would recommend if you’re wanting a committed read -
Wonderful!
An epic fantasy that has all the right ingredients! I’m adding this to my permanent library so I can enjoy it over and over again! It have the prefect amount of magic, love, wars between light and dark, and everything to make this a classic. It reminds me of how I thought and felt when JR Tolkien 1st released the hobbit. -
Jael
A heroine to fight evil. Her Uncle kills Her father and takes over the throne. She is married against Her will to a drunkard. Then when she sobers him up, he is put under a spell. Her brother who would be king, kills their uncle for beating up their mother. There is much evil in the land and good and bad magic.
Wow what an adventure !!!!!! -
Only made it about a third of the way though the first book. I didn’t necessarily find it tedious, like many reviewers have said, but… well, yes, the characters’ repeated lack of making good choices, or any choices at all, was wearing on me pretty hard. They spend most of their time standing around feeling sorry for themselves.

This saga had me on the edge of my seat! Jael Furyck is hard as steel and I love the edge she has. Watching her journey and seeing as she changes and grows into a complete woman capable of deep love and a desire to protect all she loves. The whole cast of amazing characters is brought to life in these stories, highly recommend to anyone looking for adventure and magic!
