Description Reclaimed Kingdom by Dana Claire
The Legend is true. The Fear is real. Under the cruel ministrations of its Queen, the Kingdom of D’Land is in peril. With King Harrison away in foreign lands and neighboring Kingdoms unwilling to intervene, there is no one to protect the people from poverty, harsh punishment, and unreasonable rules of law – except for the Band of Brothers. Struggling with the death of her mother and the legendary Syphon powers she inherited, seventeen year old Dru wants nothing more than to escape her old life and join the motley crew of ruffians, pilfering from the rich to feed the poor and pay their taxes. She’s able to do just that disguised as a lad, and even when her nature is discovered, nothing changes – except for the way her friend Hawkin treats her. But Dru’s new world is overturned when she and the Brothers seize the treasures of a Prince who threatens to reveal her identity. Together, Dru and her chosen family must find a way to reclaim her destiny and bring balance to the Kingdom. If not, there may be no hope left for anyone.
Guest Review Reclaimed Kingdom by Dana Claire
Guest Review by Laura Lee
If you love a beautifully written sci-fi/fantasy novel with a strong heroine, this is the book for you! 'The Reclaimed Kingdom' by Dana Claire reminded me of a mixture between Robin Hood and Game Of Thrones, with an appropriate for YA vibe.
The main character, Dru is a seventeen-year-old girl with a laundry list of secrets. Apart from the fact that she is currently masquerading as a boy in order to keep her position with the notorious motley gang, The Band of Brothers, Dru also has to hide her supernatural powers. The Brothers know that she is a girl, but since they are not technically supposed to allow girls into their gang, Dru still has to pretend.
Dru is what is called a Syphon, or someone with the ability to literally draw from other people's emotional states in order to balance out her own. This is something that her parents always instructed her to keep a secret and Dru intends to do so, even if she no longer lives with her parents.
So, why is a young girl with a secret power working with a gang of criminals? Well, that's another secret altogether and one that I won't spoil here. But suffice it to say, Dru has a lot of hiding to do and once her secrets begin to come out, she also has a lot of answering to do for them.
The world building in this was top notch and Claire's ability to create the perfect fantasy atmosphere really made the story sing. I loved all of the little details that she put into D'Land and the stakes and danger were just enough to keep me intrigued all the way through.
This book brings you in right from the start and the twists and turns will keep you reading! This is the first book in a new series and I can hardly wait for book 2! I can't recommend it highly
enough!
