But it is strong stuff, based on the deplorable behavior of the nation of Israel before the exile. There is plenty of idol worship as well, including child sacrifice. Warning: The book contains characters who are prostitutes and concubines, and royalty who have absolutely no sense of fidelity in marriage. Despite that, I highly recommend this book and look forward to the coming ones in the series. So my only complaint is that I had some trouble keeping them all straight in my mind. It’s a sprawling tale, with lots of point-of-view characters. I really enjoyed this book and could hardly put it down. I am so glad Jill has returned to writing about this story world. Could it be that an ancient prophecy of total disaster is near to fulfillment? The quest leads him on a dangerous journey to nearby realms. Intrigues at court turn deadly, and Wilek must solve a murder: who did it and why? Meanwhile, natural disasters are becoming commonplace, and Wilek is tasked to travel to a ruined city and report back. Two sons of the king, Prince Wilek and his younger brother Prince Trevn, struggle against the forces who have corrupted their father. This prequel series is ancient history, taking place hundreds of years before, maybe a thousand years. This book is the first in a new prequel series to her popular Blood of Kings trilogy. She has an uncanny knack for drawing you into her story. Jill Williamson is my favorite living author. Genre: Christian medieval fantasy, young adult, readers 16 and up King’s Folly by Jill Williamson (Kinsman Chronicles #1)
