The final novel in Michelle Hauck's
Birth of Saints trilogy, Steadfast follows Grudging and Faithful in telling the
fateful story of Claire and Ramiro and their battle against a god that hungers
for blood.
When the Northerners invaded, the ciudades-estado knew they faced a powerful army. But what they didn’t expect was the deadly magic that was also brought to the desert: the white-robed priests with their lethal Diviners, and the evil god, Dal. Cities have burned, armies have been decimated, and entire populaces have been sacrificed in the Sun God’s name, and it looks as if nothing can prevent the devastation.
But there are still those with hope.
Claire, a Woman of the Song, has already brought considerable magic of her own to fight the Children of Dal, and Ramiro, a soldier who has forsaken his vows to Colina Hermosa’s cavalry in order to stand by her side, has killed and bled for their cause. Separated after the last battle, they move forward with the hope that the saints will hear their prayers, their families will be saved, and that they’ll see each other once more.
A stirring conclusion to the Birth of Saints series, Ramiro and Claire’s journey finds completion in a battle between evil and love.
Grudging (Birth of Saints Book 1)
(I received this book free in exchange for honest review)
My Rating: 4 Stars
My Recommendation: High
This was an action pack, fast pace read that will drag you into an epic fantasy world.
This book had me gripped form start to finish, the plot was on point, the flow was easy to follow and the world building was out of this world. It was a luscious rich feel that made me feel like I was fighting alongside our MC.
This story is well rounded with touches of magic, romance and, it has a realism to it, something we see all the time, when two cultures clash, different views, especially when both views believe they are right and that there is nothing else that could be different.
This is a whirl-win of a read, and you will not be able to put it down once you start. Take my high recommendation that you will get hooked, and read these books in succession.
Happy Reading
