Synopsis
Four years have passed since Lidan’s world was ripped apart, and time is running out to change her father’s mind about the succession before the bargain with her mother expires. Torn between what she wants and what she knows is right, she is faced with an impossible choice; will her brother live, or will he die?
Within the walls of the Hidden Keep, Ranoth holds his secrets close as he tries to harness his wild magic. But when life in the Keep descends into chaos, he is cast once more into the outside world, forced upon a southward path toward unknown lands and untold danger.
With Ran set on seeking justice and revenge, and Lidan fighting to find her feet and follow her heart, journeys will converge, and the ghosts of a past thought long dead will rise.
Review
Wow, this series just gets better and better. It’s one of those books where such an unexpected twist happens right at the end and just blows your mind, and it left me reeling that i leapt straight into the third book to kill my anticipation. Well played, Mrs Wanstall-Burke well played.
Legacy Of Ghosts is the second instalment in The Coraidic Sagas. Legacy of Ghosts sees us move four years beyond the events of the first book Blood of Heirs, and it moves at a faster pace and is action-packed to the hilt.
In this book, the author introduces us to more of the world she has created for us fantasy fans to get lost in. It’s dark, grim, bloody, and it’s just wonderful. The plot is knitting beautifully together, and I can’t wait to see where I end up in book three Empire of Shadows after that ending.
We learn more about some of the interesting creatures that inhabit it, Ice Dragon’s and including some interesting revelations regarding the monsters that plagued both sets of characters in the first book. Weapon wielding zombies, the Ngaru created by dark magic that are relentless and very hard to kill would be anyone’s nightmare.
The story weaves beautifully, the worldbuilding is excellent, and characters are absolutely brilliant. What I loved is when finally our two main protagonists’ worlds collide, two hot heads, Lidan a young woman becoming a feisty and lethal warrior and Ranoth a young prince and magic weilder from two very different backgrounds.
After the ending of the first book and four years later, Lidan’s clan is at war with a rival clan, and it’s getting bloody, but Lidans’ world is about to change forever when her father finally has a son and new heir. Lidan just wants a simple life, and to be a warrior, she is given the task of being the protector to the new heir and will give her life gladly to protect him, her brother if she has to.
Ranoth has fled his old life and is on run hiding from his father. To be a magic weilder is a death sentence. Ranoth has found a new home in hidden magic school for those who are hiding from the Empire. After four years the school is attacked by the monstrous Ngaru. After barely surviving. Ranoth leads an expedition to find who created these monsters and bring them to justice.
Just brilliant storytelling at its very finest. If you haven’t checked out this amazing series by Alicia Wanstall-Burke, then I very highly recommend that you remedy that right now, you won’t regret it…😁🏹⚔️🗡💀
