The Shattered Kingdoms is an engaging, action-packed, and “highly imaginative” (Kirkus Reviews) series of high fantasy novels with epic scope and “the perfect mix of romance, family ties, betrayals, and agonizing dilemmas” (RT Book Reviews).
After the seafaring Norlanders invade Shadar and enslave its people, a rebel faction hires an infamous mercenary known as the Mongol to help them reclaim their freedom. However, her own haunted past makes the Mongol an unstable ally, and the rebellion throws more than one country into political turmoil.
Set in a fictional quasi-Medieval Mediterranean region with a strong cast of male and female characters, The Shattered Kingdoms series presents three richly developed, clashing cultures on the brink of ruin.
“Presents a striking world with civilizations similar to those of the Vikings and the nomadic cultures of the Middle East, and with the Mediterranean sensibilities of the ancient Greeks” (Library Journal, starred review).
