The King's Bastard - Rowena Cory Daniells

Date Read: March 2011

The Kingdom of Rolencia sleeps as rumours of new Affinity Seeps, places where the untamed power wells up. By royal decree all those afflicted with Affinity must serve the Abbey or face death. Sent to the Ab-bey, the King's youngest son, Fyn, trains to become a warrior monk. Elsewhere others are tainted with Affinity and must fight to survive. Political intrigue and magic combine in this explosive first book in an exciting new fantasy trilogy.

My Thoughts: Another gritty fantasy that I found myself absorbed in. This one is shaping out to be a real epic and I only hope that the second book is as good as the first. Dark and bloody, full of betrayal, with some strong characters and grand settings; it had me turning the pages right to the end.

I RATED THIS 8/10
