This is the first Sacred Band story I have ever read and I'm left wondering how in the heck I overlooked this amazing world created by Janet Morris and Chris Morris in the 1980s. (Whoops, did I just carbon date myself there?) One of the things I found so great about this book is that it doesn't matter that I missed all that cool stuff in the '80s because I picked this one up and dove right. Sure there were a very few allusions to prior stories, but not enough to make you feel like you've really missed out on something major. This book stands alone and does a great job of doing it.
What happens when gods, fates, and other supernatural forces dally with the lives of men? Nothing good. We find Tempus leading his Sacred Band of Stepsons into harms way in an effort to save the fated dead on the field of battle, setting off a chain of events even gods and goddesses can't control. If they are successful, how will men sworn to fight and die alongside their brethren find a way to live with themselves?
The supposed son of a god, a seer, a wizarding boy, and one blessed by a goddess come to earth. How might these four young Sacred Banders effect the outcome? The only way to find out is to read this wonderful book for yourself.
When I finished The Sacred Band, before I realized it had happened I had taken my Kindle back to the first page and read three pages again. It must have been my subconscious trying it's best not to leave Sanctuary leaving my new found friends behind. I cannot wait to get my hands on another Sacred Band tome.
