5 stars for Cross of Tarlis: The Reckoning by @JulieDarcy57 #fantasy #newrelease #bookreview



Title: Cross of Tarlis: The Reckoning

Author: Julie D’Arcy

Genre: Fantasy, Fantasy Adventure


Book Blurb:


Caught up in a prophecy...

Only by the hand of Princess Tannith of Ellenroh can the last part of the famed talisman, the Cross of Tarlis be joined to restore peace to the world. With her companions, a bastard prince, a white tiger, her bodyguard, a tiny warrior faerie, and an ancient mage, she continues the quest to uncover the remains of the only relic that can rival the Dark Sorcerer, Sernon’s power. The journey will change them all in different ways. Will they find what they are looking for and will it be enough to save them?


My Review:


As the quest continues, will this group find the remains of the cross and fulfill the prophecy or will they fail? The mission is as clear as the prophecy, but the path is not. Princess Tannith needs to find one last piece of the cross in order to defeat her enemy. The prophecy states she alone can rejoin the talisman and restore peace to the world. But the Dark Sorcerer knows of the prophecy as well and will stop at nothing to destroy her plans. She needs the strength and fortitude of her most trusted companions, but will they unite for the same goal? The journey is fraught with peril and the hardships take their toll on everyone. Can the princess satisfy the prophecy and bring peace to the land, or will she fail and plunge the world into her enemy’s control?


Cross of Tarlis: The Reckoning is an exhilarating fantasy I enjoyed. If you’re a fantasy reader and looking for a thorough action-orientated fantasy with a cast of compelling characters, you’ll want to read this book. From the characters to the setting, from the action to the plot progression, this book has everything a fantasy reader craves. The plot flows well and is mesmerizing. The author reveals aspects like breadcrumbs leading to an epic conclusion. The characters jumped off the page and into my heart. If you love fantasy, you’ll want to read Cross of Tarlis: The Reckoning. If you’re a fantasy reader, you’ll want to read Cross of Tarlis: The Reckoning. Highly recommend!
