All is not what it first
might appear. . .
About The Book: The Lion of Purdha has died, leaving five cubs, four
of them warriors tried and battle and not found wanting. But the youngest,
Crispin, an invalid from birth is, by law of the land, is chosen to become heir
to the throne. His older brothers send a message to the commanders of Purdha’s
army: Select your best warrior to guard the King.
Janel
Redhu, child of two warriors, a Follower sworn to the Goddess from her 12th
year, is as brave and fearless as any of her brothers in the fighting unit known
as Sword Squad. It is her honor to be chosen to protect the King.
Our Review: Once again, Toni V. Sweeney has created diverse
characters, each with their own layers and driven by internal forces they might
not recognize—until they are tested to their limits. From the start Janel
suspects Crispin du Lance might not be the invalid his mother and brothers
consider him to be. Only after she rescues him from a murderous plot does she
realize just what some of his forces might be. Just as their feelings start to
bud, they are ambushed again—and spend five long years apart, honing the skills
each was unaware they possessed. When they finally are reunited, it is magic.
On a scale of 1-5, A King
Like Porcelain deserves a 6.
