"Whitta is a master of suspense. "Abomination" grabs you and doesn't let go." Hugh Howey, "New York Times"-Bestselling Author of "Wool" He is England's greatest knight, the man who saved the life of Alfred the Great and an entire kingdom from a Viking invasion. But when he is called back into service to combat a plague of monstrous beasts known as abominations, he meets a fate worse than death and is condemned to a life of anguish, solitude, and remorse. She is a fierce young warrior, raised among an elite order of knights. Driven by a dark secret from her past, she defies her controlling father and sets out on a dangerous quest to do what none before her ever have hunt down and kill an abomination, alone. When a chance encounter sets these two against one another, an incredible twist of fate will lead them toward a salvation they never thought possible and prove that the power of love, mercy, and forgiveness can shine a hopeful light even in history s darkest age."

#adventrecommends Day 9. An adult fantasy I don‘t see people reading too often. I think this offers a little bit of dark magic.

This was a really good book. After watching the tv show the Vikings. This is like an alternative history told from the English side from that time. The ending got a little fuzzy for me. I felt like one if the main characters motivations and how far they were willing to go was a little more than I thought it would or should be. But all in all a very good self contained story.

A book with a bug on the cover. Also one of my favorites. I like the dark magic and fantasy elements of the story. #insects #junebookbugs

An interesting combo of history and witchcraft, along with a brand knight protagonist who you will feel for makes this an interesting read.
