The Flame and The Blade (Flame and Blade Series)
By Meredith Hart
5 out of 5 stars
The story The Flame and The Blade (Flame and Blade Series) by Meredith Hart is a romantic fantasy book. It is a story that includes magic, romance, and danger. It is a book that had me turning pages wondering what was going to happen next. It is the story of Verthe Scarvian and Lyria Guardia. Verthe is the descendant of a man who almost destroyed humanity. He is looking for a long-lost betrothal agreement. Lyria is the woman who has been sent to help guard him on his search. Will Verthe find what he is looking for? Will Lyria be able to keep him from harm? Read this book to find out. This story has adventure and a foreboding place called the Demon Forest. It also has some steamy moments as Lyria and Verthe find the chemistry between them begin to rise. The author does a wonderful job of making it seem like you are right there with Lyria and Verthe on their journey. There is attention to detail and great world-building. Don’t miss out on a story that you won’t want to put down until the final page. I would recommend reading it. This is the first book in a series, and I look forward to finding out what happens in the next book.
