Talamk an Eisc
Celtic Rings #1
by K.D. Carter
One thousand years ago, Norsemen sailed across the Atlantic from the Emerald Isle in search of new lands. They found Talemk an Eisc, rich in timber and farmland. But war with the native population raged for thirty years. Now a fragile truce has been put in place, but forces are seeking to reignite the conflict. Four very different people – a Farmer, a Spy, a Warrior and a Thief – must work together the preserve the peace. But how can they, when no one trusts the other? Based on a historical account of Vikings traveling to Newfoundland, this tale features fantasy, adventure, suspense, and plenty of action!
REVIEW
5 out of 5
This fantasy will have you step back in time. Carter does an excellent job of weaving the setting around you, enveloping you in the story completely. I love how vivid the imagery is, and how real the characters feel, even though they exist in another place and time. The plot moves along at a good pace, and has enough twists that you can never really feel like you know exactly where it’s going. This was a great start to a new series, and I’m excited to see where it goes next.
