Author Introduction
Shantel Brunton is a student, writer and perpetual book worm. Shantel started writing because she wanted to create her own world and escape from reality. She loves writing for this reason which gives her a release. She hopes her readers enjoy after reading her works. Hive of Blood is her first book in Nelvethearia Chronicles.
Blurb
Nelvethearia is a land full of full magic, wealthy nobles, and bloody battles. Wars have raged on between the Weavers and the Lasevrens for years. Weavers keep their spiders and Lasevrens keep wasps.
Insects and arachnids have never coexisted in peace.
Nathaniel is neither a Weaver or Lasevren. He is but a lowly harvester who tends to the land, and he wants nothing more than to marry his childhood sweetheart and lead a happy life with her. Until everything comes crashing down around him.
Blinded by heartbreak and betrayal, he flees to the forbidden lands of the north.
The lands of the Lasevrens.
When Nathaniel is captured by Lasevren soldiers, they see something in him, and they spare no efforts in compelling him to join them and forsake everything he ever loved.
Will Nathaniel succumb to Lasevren cruelty and become one of the cruel soldiers he’s always feared or will he escape to the remnants of his old life?
What if the Lasevrens aren’t the real enemy? What if Nathaniel has nothing left?
My Opinion
Hive of Blood by Shantel Brunton is a fantasy and horror treat for readers. I loved Nathaniel's character, who has gone through many toils and hardships. The plot attracts attention just from the beginning. Easy to understand and a perfect one for the fantasy beginners. The story has love, emotions, action and adventure. Also, Nathaniel's character after many highs and lows enters the transition phase and we can see a drastic development of the character. I am eager to read the second book.
Definitely 4 stars for the book. Thanks to the author for providing me with an opportunity to read and review the book.
