When Andrixine falls ill and spends the winter recovering in Snowy Mount, a community of holy folk, scholars and healers, she never dreams it will be the first step of an adventure that will change her life. But her illness came from a murder attempt, and the same enemy tries to kill her traveling party on the way home. When she seeks a weapon to rescue her mother, she is chosen by the mystical Spirit Sword to lead in the defense of her country, Reshor, against its ancient enemy. First, she must rescue her mother and uproot treachery from within her own castle and family. The friends she gathers along the way become her closest allies and supporters - and she is surprised when friendship with a young warrior turns into something more.

Editorial Reviews

Review

A beautiful medieval tale rich with description of that time period, Ms. Levigne transports you through time so you can travel with Alixine on her quests to save her mother, on to the bloody battle fields of war, all the while fighting her attraction to Kalsan. From betrayal and lies, to treachery and romance, this epic adventure has it all. 5 cups --Wateena, Coffee Time Romance

Heir of Faxinor is a beautifully written fantasy that has brought to life not only wonderful characters but a world deep in mystery, devotion and most importantly love. --Rhae, Fantasy Romance Writers - A Romance Designs Community Website

I highly recommend HEIR OF FAXINOR to fantasy romance fans who want to see a delightful first novel. Levigne did a wonderful job in world building and with her characters. An enjoyable and heartening tale definitely worth reading! --Linnea Sinclair, author of FINDERS KEEPERS and WINTERTIDE (writing as Megan Sybil Baker)

This review is from: Heir of Faxinor (Paperback)

Andrixine was the heir of Faxinor. She never wanted to marry. Instead she wished for the life of a warrior. She wanted to become one of the Sword Sisters. Already Andrixine had earned her warrior braids. Good thing, since someone was trying to kill her.

Andrixine's party was traveling home from Snowy Mount Monastery when they were attacked. Andrixine was able to get her younger sister to safety, but her mother was kidnapped. She returned to the monastery for help in rescuing her mother and came face-to-face with her destiny! The magical Spirit Sword chose Andrixine to become the new Sword Bearer and lead her people in the upcoming war.

Disguised as a boy and traveling with (and learning from) the previous Sword Bearer, Andrixine began to fulfill her duty to the Spirit Sword and her people.

**** Now THIS is an awesome story! The author took the unlikely combination of a princess and a valkyrie and somehow managed to make it work! In doing so, Michelle Levigne has proven to be very gifted in her chosen field of writing amazing stories! In fact, I understand that there may be more upcoming books set in the Faxinor realm! I can only hope this will be true and will closely be keeping my eyes on the store bookshelves for more books from this author! ****
