Fear not, O True
God will watch over you
When the world has gone...
The true they will gather
To save them scourge
The false will be purged
No more the liar,
Only His eternal peace.

Thicketford. A picturesque little village, where lives are lived, livelihoods are made, the Faith is taught and a mysterious prophecy revolving around two sisters is at play. A prophecy that will kill.

Only, nobody knows about it.

THE ENEMY

Now, all that's left of the village, or wasteland more appropriately, is the stench of rotting corpses and smoke from the burnt down structures. The Witches – the True – as they call themselves, armour-clad, bearing the broken five point star, were looking for something as they set flame and beheaded to God's creations; someone more specifically.

THE MISSION

Her sister is missing. Her grandfather has been murdered. Her home a pile of rubble. Her baby's father dead. Pregnant, lost and on the run, Megan can focus on only one thing. Revenge.

THE DECEPTION

In the real world, however everything is not as it seems. Or in this one, nothing is. Finding herself with the last of the Endelay line – the royals before the priests came into power – and Damon, a sarcastic, alcoholic loner, Megan sets out on her mission: to find her sister, to turn the world and life she lost to something she can come to terms with, even though nothing will ever be the same.

True Fire was stunning! You were always waiting to see what happened next, with all of its enigmatic characters. I loved how corruption and deceit, so much part of the world we live in today, was given life in the book with the amazing cover.

There was one question that kept nagging me though; we had horses, swords, gowns and the beginning of gunpowder and yet there were so many places where I felt like we weren't in the days bygone, but right here, in the present, all due to the snarky dialogue.

Still, True Fire was brilliant, and saying more would only ruin it! READ IT! 4 stars!
