The Scarlet Rose by Erin Nichole
Originally Published in 2016
The Royal family of Wyvern love each other, their land, and their people. Theirs is a happy life, living in the castle, taking care of the citizens of the land, and ruling the peaceful country.
Across the water, Lord Davon of Nora has no intention of allowing the peaceful lives of the Wyvernians to continue. He wants the country for himself and he will stop at nothing to achieve his desires. Deceit, kidnapping, war, murder; nothing is too low and nothing will hold him back.
The Characters: There were several characters, who I liked. Bentley was probably my favorite, though one other rivaled him. (I can’t tell you who though.) Bentley’s obvious love for his family, especially his sister, and his tender heart toward the people of Wyvern, won me over fairly easily.
Lord Davon and his wife could hardly be listed among my favorites, but they were well-written in all of their evil plots and plans. Wicked, is the best way to describe and they exuded evil in their very dialogue.
A Few More Thoughts: This book is number two in the Wyvern Tales, but I think it works well as a standalone. I read it, before having read Book One, and though one or two small points may confuse the reader, that I assume were explained in the story’s predecessor, there was nothing major that I can recall.
Cautions: While there is nothing objectionable in this book, not even language, there was, nonetheless, sensitive topics introduced. I would recommend this book for sixteen or eighteen-years-old and up.
To the KING be all the glory!
