REVIEW: Relic (The Relic Trilogy:Book 1) By Bronwyn Eley

A fatal job. A deadly jewel. How long will Kaylan survive?

Snatched from her life as a blacksmith, Kaylan Rove is forced to become the Shadow: the personal servant of a ruthless and powerful lord.

But Lord Rennard himself isn’t the threat. It’s the Relic he wears around his neck – a stone that protects his bloodline, but poisons everyone else in its proximity. Kaylan’s life becomes a waking nightmare as the Relic slowly destroys her body and mind.

But just as hope begins to fade, she discovers a rebel plot that might put an end to Rennard’s rule…

If you like dark fantasy, strong heroines, slow-burning tension and plot twists that will leave you reeling, check out Relic, the first book in the addictive YA fantasy series The Relic Trilogy.

This was such an amazing fantasy novel. I have not read one of this quality and magnitude since I was a teenager. I couldn't put this down.

I just love Kaylan strong yet vulnerable, shy yet outspoken, happy but sad. Doing everything for the love of her family. To protect all her brothers and her mother.

The lord of the hunt oh my Markus  yumminess' just love his character and love the two of them together. Such fiery passion and caring between them even though all they do is kiss.

All the mayhem and fantasy of this story along with the magic from the relic mixed with emotions going all over from Kaylan and what she is suffering from dealing with the relic.

The path she follows in this story is amazing. The ending I just never expected it and the things that lead into what the next book will entail. I cannot share spoilers but this is a must read.

5 stars

I've been writing my whole life but it was only in the last few years that it occurred to me that I could do this for a living!

I spend a lot of my time reading (obviously). Fantasy, particularly, is where I live and breath, but I'm up for anything!

I've spent some time in the military, studied Linguistics at university and travelled a lot. I am obsessed with all things medieval, music, my fitness and my dog Ruby.
