Title: 2.5 stars
Review: Though he never wanted to rule, Lucan finds his own dreams crushed and that fate forced upon him when his father and older brothers are killed brutally. Now, revenge and restoration become his dual goals, ones he can only accomplish with Branna, a priestess whose dreams have intertwined their paths and revealed to her a terrible necessity and heavy price to pay for the welfare of the land.** Fans of Kenneth Flint's early works or some of Marian Z Bradley's will probably enjoy this; though set in another land, Branna and Lucan come to life as if they were perhaps a Druid priestess and ancient Roman Mithras priest. A bit more detail into the world would have clarified and strengthened the story, however. **
