THE DU LAC CURSE
BOOK 5 OF THE DU LAC CHRONICLES
BOOK 5 OF THE DU LAC CHRONICLES
By Mary Anne Yarde
God against Gods. King against King. Brother against Brother.
Mordred Pendragon had once said that the sons of Lancelot would eventually destroy each other, it seemed he was right all along.
Garren du Lac knew what the burning pyres meant in his brother's kingdom — invasion. But who would dare to challenge King Alden of Cerniw for his throne? Only one man was daring enough, arrogant enough, to attempt such a feat — Budic du Lac, their eldest half-brother.
While Merton du Lac struggles to come to terms with the magnitude of Budic's crime, there is another threat, one that is as ancient as it is powerful. But with the death toll rising and his men deserting who will take up the banner and fight in his name?
MY THOUGHTS…
It took me no time at all to get into this book and jut as little time to settle in for the ride. Having read the previous books in the series, I knew what I was getting myself in for, so I was ready with a cup of tea and a box of tissues! While telling the different stories of the characters, Ms Yarde has managed to tie together the narratives into a compelling journey that I travelled along with the characters.
My favourite character throughout the series has always been Merton, his generally light-hearted and joking nature finding a place in my heart, but this book has reserved a place for Garren in my heart as well. He has been through so much and wants to protect those he cares about and tries his best to save everyone, even when it seems like an impossibility. This book, while adding to my love of the Du Lac brothers, also developed some of the characters fighting against them and gave a second side to the story.
While Teagan and Sampson do not share the same views on religion, their need to protect Merton is strong and together, they build the religious aspects of the novel while Teagan’s house is opened up to those in need. While the religion is in depth, it is not hard to follow and it is very clear that Ms Yarde has done her research!
This book is one that I will treasure and will most certainly be reading over and over! I Highly Recommend this book to anyone with even just a slight interest in the history of King Arthur, as this novel will make you fall in love with it!
