Lovely review by Dawn's Book Reviews. Only 2 days to go until launch.Title: Hammer of Fate (The Rune Song #1)Author: G.N. GudgionPublisher: Second SkyRelease date: June 1, 2023Rating: 5/5Well... What a cracking start to a trilogy! I absolutely loved the writing, the story, the characters (Adelais is my favourite!), the setting, and the gentleness of the fantasy element (thought I'm sure it's going to beefed up in the following books). "Hammer of Fate" was a joy to read and I can't wait to get my hands on the next two books (though I'm sure the story could be expanded for a sequel trilogy... Please?!).My thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley. This review was written voluntarily and is entirely my own, unbiased, opinion. ... See MoreSee Less

Huge thanks to Shell Baker at bakersnotsosecretblo Huge thanks to Shell Baker at bakersnotsosecretblog for this review:

"Hammer of Fate is pure ecaspism and takes us on a journey full of magic and adventure, when we meet Adelais. Asking the question…is she an angel, demon, prestess or a witch?!

I can feel it in my bones that this series is going to be epic. I am a fan of The Witcher and feel there is an element of this in the story.

It is a story that transports you into the world of fantasy and another universe. I love the characters and the character development. In fact I loved everything about it.

Hammer of Fate is fresh, exciting and flipping fantastic. All I want to know now….is when is the next book out?!"

Hammer of Fate, the first of the Rune Song epic fantasy trilogy, was released by @SecondSky on 1st June.

Author copies arrived today! A great excuse for a Author copies arrived today!

A great excuse for a manic grin.

Hammer of Fate, the first in the Rune Song epic fantasy trilogy, will be released by @SecondSky / Hachette on 1st June in paperback, ebook, and audiobook versions.

About the book:

Adelais was raised in the far north, learning stories of the old gods and the skill of weaving runes into magic. Now, she is locked in a convent far from home, forced to kneel to a foreign god.

When inquisitors arrive with plans to torture an innocent man, Adelais cannot stand by. She aids an attack to free the prisoner and joins the raiders as they flee into the night.

Her new companions are the last of the Guardians—once a powerful holy order, now ragged fugitives, hunted almost to extinction.

The knights carry a secret treasure, precious and powerful enough to shape kingdoms. Their pursuers, desperate to possess it, will crush any who stand in their way.

Nowhere is safe—in city or chateau, on the road or in the wilds. And even disguised as a boy, Adelais draws attention wherever she goes. Is she angel or demon, priestess or witch?

Adelais must summon all her courage and all her memories of the old gods’ magic as the noose tightens around her and a thunderous final reckoning approaches.
More details, including ebook and paperback pre-order links, via Linktree in profile.

Early review today on Netgalley:

‘Everything I want from a fantasy story. Great characters, very descriptive battle scenes … I was completely immersed … I can't wait to read more from this very talented author.’ ☆☆☆☆☆
