Synopsis

To save the world, they must be born of the world. The battles between the Kingdom of Cathair and the Primordial forces at Daimon Ford are the stuff of legends. Desperate to save the world, two immortals choose to be reborn as mortals, wiping away all memory of their divine existence. But even as Cayden, and his twin sister Avery make the ultimate sacrifice, other gods are plotting against them. At the point of birth, divine intervention and powerful, ancient magic are called upon to snatch their souls from the dying flesh of a princess's poisoned womb. The royal family of the Kingdom of Cathair has always been the physical Spirit Shield of the world. With the murder of the entire royal family, who guards the secrets within the castle walls? Can the magic of the gods, old and new, ensure the safe keeping of the immortal treasure within, and if they fail, who will choose for the unborn? Helga, the goddess of the underworld, is not amused and has set into play a diabolical scheme of her own. There is a little place called Sanctuary by the Sea and chaos is about to pay a visit... This is Seer of Souls, Book one of the Spirit Shield Saga, a fantasy read for all ages.

About this title

Review:

"An entertaining ride from start to finish, Susan Faw's debut novel is fun with a serious story telling heart at its core.

The story is not overly new in plot, and the characters never really grew on me until the book's excellent final third section. As many reviews have already covered the plot I will just summarise by saying it is a great edition to an over saturated genre, and the author has real talent holding the reader's attention through the complex storyline.

As a fantasy it is extremely well written and sets up the other books nicely.

A strong debut from the author. - Kato's Revenge"

"Reminiscent of Kristen Britain's green rider series. Packed full of prophecies, battles, personal struggles, and coming of age events. Can't wait to read the next book!! - Outdoorbunch5"

"This book is the first in what may well become an epic fantasy. The characters are complex with their full share of doubts and fears as they progress along the first major adventure. It is filled with various forms of magic and fantasy but perhaps the best part of the book is the interactions of the many varied characters. From farm boys developing into leaders and soldiers to forcefully retired soldiers working to become active again and with some very important female characters this is a complex but easily read story. There is a hint of unrecognized romance as the story progresses. While I rated this one as 4 stars I feel that there is a great potential in this series and I look forward to the second book with anticipation. - Doctorg13"
