With her army on the border
poised for attack, Guardsman Keelan Rea and his squad continue their frantic pursuit
to save his treasured Healer. Whilst his brother, Declan journeys to an ancient
isle looking for support for their kingdom’s greatly outnumbered army, he meets
the enigmatic Keeper of Magic and he is forced to face his overriding dreads.
Betrayed by her lover, Jess races
towards the same sacrificial destiny as other captured magicians; her father,
the King, rallies the homeland to find her. Readers are kept on tenterhooks to find out if he will succeed.
This action-packed adventure
story follows on from Book 1 and heroes, Keelan and brother Declan are sent on
a quest to find the Magicals kidnapped in the previous story.
Their quest takes a darker turn
as they also need to find a magical solution for the impending, seemingly
hopeless, war with the Kingdom.
As the only non-Magical in the
group, Declan is directed to pursue aid from the Keeper of Magic and finds
assistance from a mysterious, entertaining baby owl that has more to her than
first seems.
I was immediately drawn into
Daughter Of Magic from the start; it was easy to pick up the story from where
I’d left off and I was eager for more of the same. I enjoyed finding out more about the new
characters who were intriguing and relevant. The brotherly dynamic of Keelan
and Declan continued and I was able to deepen my understanding of each
character; all of the characters held my attention and drew me into the
imaginary fantasy world.
This is a well-written follow-on
from Book 1; Ruffin has created an excellent, inimitable domain in a truly
appealing story.
The action is fast-paced with
non-stop fantasy adventure with some unexpected twists and turns; for readers
who are fans of fantasy, intrigue, and satirical humour this story is a must.
