The First Lost Tale of Mercia: Golde the Mother
on Sep. 04, 2011
Jayden Woods thrusts the reader right into the action from the very start. I loved the gritty portrayal of Anglo-Saxon life and politics. This first Lost Tale of Mercia leaves you wanting to read more, and I think that's a testament to the strong characters that Jayden creates from the very beginning of the story, with lots of strong dialogue used to build the conflict between them. Like all good historical fiction this story also inspires curiosity into the historical setting itself.

Daemon Hunter
on Sep. 11, 2011
Historical fantasy set in the age of sail. A Caribbean privateer captain gets more than he bargained for when he comes across a mysterious woman lashed to the boat of a stricken British ship. The captain and his crew are compelled on a mission to hunt a daemon pirate. The mix of a rich historical setting and the supernatural mystery of the daemon hooked me straight away. Like the ship's captain I was drawn into the hunt for the daemon too. A well written yarn - highly recommended.

Raven's Wing
on Sep. 13, 2011
A charming fantasy, based I think on Celtic myth. Don't expect sword and sorcery, but instead be seduced by the atmosphere of the setting and the depth of the characters who are rich in subtle and natural magic that no longer inhabits our world. I loved the way that this tale played with my expectations in particular. I doubt that you'll come across many dragons like the one in this story.
