The first book in the highly anticipated Blood and
Gold book series by Kim Wilkins is titled DAUGHTERS OF
THE STORM. An extraordinary novel that once you start
reading, you will not put down until you finish reading the
last page. Wilkins is a remarkable storyteller that has
created a vividly realistic and detailed historical fantasy
that you will simply devour.
The character list is a quite a large one for DAUGHTERS OF
THE STORM. Each character is well developed with intriguing
backstories and unforgettable personalities. Together, they
help tell a story that is magical and full of fantasy.
Combine the wonderful and creative list of characters with a
truly out of the box plot making this a remarkable read.
DAUGHTERS OF THE STORM is a novel that is full of
friendship, drama, family, hope, tragedy, and triumph. When
you put five sisters together in hopes of saving the crown
you know it is going to be a battle both against each other
and their stepbrother. All in hopes of saving the kingdom.
Who can you truly trust when the goal is the same for so
many? Can you trust your sister when you both want the same
thing?
The ending is one that you will not expect! DAUGHTERS OF THE
STORM is a wonderful novel that has so many twists and turns
that are sure to draw you in from the beginning. As you read
page after page, you will never guess what answers you will
find at the ending. The only disappointment I have for
DAUGHTERS OF THE STORM is that I have to wait for the next
book in the Blood and Gold book series.
Five very different sisters team up against their
stepbrother to save their kingdom in this Norse-flavored
fantasy epic—the start of a new series in the tradition of
Naomi Novik, Peter V. Brett, and Robin Hobb.
FIVE ROYAL SISTERS. ONE CROWN.
They are the
daughters of a king. Though they share the same royal blood,
they could not be more different. Bluebell is a proud
warrior, stronger than any man and with an ironclad heart to
match. Rose’s heart is all too passionate: She is the queen
of a neighboring kingdom who is risking everything for a
forbidden love. Ash is discovering a dangerous talent for
magic that might be a gift—or a curse. And then there are
the twins—vain Ivy, who lives for admiration, and zealous
Willow, who lives for the gods.
But when their
father is stricken by a mysterious ailment, these five
sisters must embark on a desperate journey to save him and
prevent their treacherous stepbrother from seizing the
throne. Their mission: find the powerful witch who can cure
the king. But to succeed on their quest, they must overcome
their differences and hope that the secrets they hide from
one another and the world are never brought to light.
Because if this royal family breaks, it could destroy the
kingdom.
