Author James Raquepau ignites this series with a pulse pounding battle. Quickly familiarizing readers with Breanna’s fierce warrior status and ability to seize the void, “Blades of Destiny” opens as Breanna assumes the Champion title. Owning the responsibility of protecting her chief, Eoin, Breanna rises to the title of Red Branch Champion. Yet, just as we’re being acquainted with Breanna’s warrior prowess, Raquepau pivots, introducing readers to Brenna’s personal side. As her own mother stares death in the face, Breanna Ban Morna’s destiny seems determined. Through her mother’s deathbed confession, Breanna is suddenly made aware of her true heritage and the geas placed upon her before her birth, as well as the various half siblings out there, similarly sired by the vile Hakon Skadi as well. Epic battles, Godly forces, and magic weapons at her disposal, this first in the Dàn Cycle series sets an unmatched pace, with more promising encounters sure to follow. As Breanna sets out on her quest, she soon meets the very Fáidh that cast her gea. As emotions rise, and destiny unfolds, the journey ahead of Breanna seems one of great intrigue, purpose, and hardship. Raquepau has built an immersive world as the Dàn Cycle series quickly takes off. Hastily adapting to the forces and nature lurking beyond the periphery, “Blades of Destiny” guarantees an intriguing series yet to come. Traversing the lands, readers oscillate between the evil warriors seeking the Dreadlord’s offspring, as well as the fate of Eoin, and perilous quest of Breanna. As the various characters, figures, and power structures pulsate throughout, readers quickly become engrained in the world captured among the pages of Raquepau’s imagination. Entwining Gaelic warriors, with fated magic, and divine manipulation, Breanna Ban Morna becomes an epic series heroine as her destiny unravels. Concluding with an epilogue that leaves readers anxious to encounter more half siblings lurking about Eastern Erin and beyond, Raquepau has certainly set this fantastical series in motion!
