In BLACKBIRD CROWNED Gwen De Montfort and her grandmother, Moscelyne (Mo) are working diligently to return the sword in the stone that had been claimed wrongfully by her brother. She would not care but for the fact that Max is working with the Darkside, with plans to destroy the royal family and return the rule of England to the witches. This is something she is not going to allow for it has been her family's duty to protect the sword and the royals. So along with the motorcycle riding, sword toting Luc Durant - a warrior in an ancient order of knights - they race to protect the world.
As with all of author Keri Arthur's books BLACKBIRD CROWNED will grab you by the throat and pull you into this amazing world with the very first words. It is action-packed as they chase the sword, but with a question - is the one her brother has in his possession the real one? Or does the real one belong to another De Montfort.
The romance between Luc and Gwen is tense as he has sworn until they have dealt with the danger that things more personal should be put aside. There was a lot of teasing and even Mo gets into it with a reminder that she wants grandchildren, but they stay true to the mission they are all involved in. Not that there isn't a lot of kissing going on, because there is and wow - do they kiss.
The danger feels very realistic, even though it is in a magical, paranormal setting. The characters, as always, have diverse personalities and added to the intrigue and mysticism of BLACKBIRD CROWNED. This fantastic read will have you completely spellbound and give you a number of good chuckles especially at the end - because Mo gets her wish! Sort of. Read the book and enjoy the fun!
SUMMARY
The final book. The final battle...
Gwen De Montfort’s greatest fears have now come true. Her brother Max has not only claimed the sword in the stone, but is working with Darkside in order to destroy the royal family and claim the throne for himself.
But does he hold the true Witch King’s Sword? Or is the sword he drew a powerful fake?
With the attacks on them intensifying, Gwen, her grandmother Moscelyne, and Luc Durant—a sword-bearing warrior from an ancient order of knights—race to not only uncover the truth but find a means of stopping Max before his plans can come to bloody fruition.
As an old goddess’s prophecies come true and new powers rise, the dark gates are opened and London comes under attack.
But the final battle will not be for the throne or the crown but rather a life, and might well result in Gwen having to make the ultimate sacrifice.
