The Witch's Knight

I just reviewed #TheWitchsKnight by #PaulaBrackston and #TrevorBrackston
When William the Conqueror became king of all of England, Wales didn't escape his clutches and he set about conquering the home of Lady Gwen. Tragically she not only loses her parents, her home and close to losing her life, she discovers she is a hereditary witch and not just any witch, a witch of the white shadow. With this knowledge she must make the ultimate commitment to not only keep evil at bay, but to be able to find her true love, the knight sworn to protect her again.
As Lady Gwen becomes Rhiannon, Queen Witch, she has to learn to leave the person she thought she was behind and learn the ways of her ancestors to be ready to fight for humanity in a battle so fierce it could rock the whole world to its core.
Can she learn her craft and protect the people who have now become her family? Will her agreement with her coven be too much for her and will she ever find her knight again?
This book was a slam dunk for me. The magic the authors weaved on the page had me so enthralled, I couldn't put it down.
The book straddles the past and present time in such a way that it doesn't feel like two separate stories. It flows gently like a river over its rock bed with a natural rhythm and elegant class. The pace was exactly how a good historical fiction should be and the characters had so much depth and richness I could feel my heart racing to find out what would happen next! I am not usually one to be dramatic but when I got to the end I squeaked out loud and actually turned my iPad over to see if there was more... The climax will have me biting my nails until I can get my hands on the next book. This book ticks every box, will fill all the pieces of your soul and have you on a monumental rollercoaster ride that will have your whole body screaming for more.
If you love supernatural historical fiction that will have you feeling the welsh winds on your face and drawing your sword to battle for the good of humanity in your head, then this book has to be your next read.
5 stars isn't enough to portray the gravity of excellence this book has pouring from its pages
