Respen is bent on murdering every last noble that dares to resist him, and Leith is caught right in the middle.īooks 1 through 3 ( Dare, Deny and Defy) are where the main story of defeating Respen takes place. This sets off a range of events in which we find out about rebellions, secret underground churches, and iffy plots. It causes an early onset of midlife crisis in poor Leith, and he returns to his king in a state of utter confusion. Instead of kicking him out into a snowstorm, they help him. When Third Blade Leith Torren is wounded during a mission, he stumbles upon the house of the very people he is supposed to kill. Keeping the people in line are his feared Blades: a group of assassins trained to show no mercy. It is ruled by a ruthless tyrant called Respen Felix. The Blades of Acktar is set in a medievalish country called Acktar. If my fellow Christians hadn’t recommended them to me, I’d probably have passed it by (sorry but the covers are not that appealing). My favourite up till now is The Blades of Acktar series by Tricia Mingerink.
Many of these have only very small followings and have been written by indie authors.
It’s very encouraging to me and it’s also helped me discover a lot of new books I never would have read otherwise. One nice thing about social media platforms is being able to meet other Christians and talk about our favourite books together, even from across oceans.
