To End a War Nearly a thousand years ago a great warrior named Lachlan sought to unify his people, using the power of the Three Swords of Destiny. Before his victory, Lachlan was killed by his trusted friend, Allarun. Now, Allarun is still in power but haunted by dreams of Lachlan’s death curse: that Lachlan would return to avenge his death. Allarun’s decision is to destroy the very people Lachlan tried to unite. Only two men have the power to stop the slaughter. Romarin, the last of a line of kings, and a half-blood mercenary named Shadowhelm. One may be destined to be Lachlan, but can they unlock the secret to Lachlan’s power before Allarun kills them?

Review
An enjoyable and intriguing novel, filled with believable characters and a rich, satisfying plot. --Karen E. Taylor, author of The Vampire Legacy series.
Not a rehash of all that has been done before. Bonham has given readers something totally unique and different. --Laura J. Underwood, author of Ard Magister, Chronicles Of The Last War, and forthcoming Dragon's Tongue and Wandering Lark

A fantastic read for even a "non-fantasy" reader,
By
This review is from: Prophecy of Swords (Paperback)
I don't typically read fantasy so I was surprised at how quickly and completely I was drawn into Maggie Bonham's world of magic, dragons, treachery, and heros. I read the majority of this book during a (unplanned) four-hour delay at the Atlanta airport on my way home from a conference. Thank God I had this book! The time flew by and I was actually annoyed when it was time to board the plane because I'd just entered a high action sequence and didn't want to stop reading.I highly recommend this book to fantasy and non-fantasy readers alike. There is a depth and excitement to the characters and writing that transcends genre. I look forward to many more novels from this author.

This review is from: Prophecy of Swords (Swords of Destiny) (Kindle Edition)
I figured that for the low, low price of $.99, I'd take a chance on this book. Heck, five people said it was awesome. Of course, five others said it was terrible, but I've been misled before. This book felt like it had been written in a weekend. One with lots of beer or wine. The characters are so poorly defined, they change their minds about what they believe and what's important to them every time another character presents a small bit of information. "I'm not important! I"m not a pure-blood!" "But what if you are?" "Ok. Maybe I am." Ugh. It was much like a train wreck. I wanted to stop reading it many, many times, but every time I put it down, I picked it back up again because I can't stand to leave a book unfinished. Most of the time I like that about myself. This time... not so much. If you have never read Tolkien, Jordan, Sanderson, McCaffrey or the like, go right ahead. Read this book. You won't know the difference. Otherwise, if you're looking for novels about swords, skip this one and read Fred Saberhagen's sword novels or Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth novels.

Wonderful High Fantasy,
By
This review is from: Prophecy of Swords (Paperback)
Ms. Bonham hits a homerun with this book of epic fantasy. You are hooked from page one and kept spellbound to the last page. I would highly recommend this book and author to those looking for a tale of grand scope.
