Summary
Sir Roslind of Aksson, fierce and unyielding, is not the only female knight—but she is few among men who cling to older ways. And while whispers of disdain are so easily heard in a land pushing beyond tradition, whispers of rebellion are more subtle, more insidious, and much more costly to ignore.
As the waves of religious reformation crash upon the shores of Aksson, a disgruntled son learns the error of his ways; a traitor leads an unexpected defense; an embattled cougari unsheathes his claws; one who hides in plain sight will open the gates to a fearsome enemy with ancestral zeal in their hearts.
The Baron of Aksson is a powerful man, proud and ruthless; but he is fading, betrayal already at his door. As his daughter returns from years of training, she must prove her mettle in the fires of the old world as the siege bears down upon the great port city.
But one thing is certain.
Aksson will burn.
Welcome to the first book of The War of Souls Apocrypha. Written as a medieval-esque fantasy tale with a decidedly Gaelic feel, Knight of Gaelgara draws us swiftly into a vibrant, living city soon to face a siege and the first move in a greater war.

Excellent read. Page turner
Knight of Gaelgara is an intricately woven story taking on the genre of fantasy while having a historical element to it. There are quite a few characters, plot threads, and different points of view making you think about the unfolding story from different perspectives .
The characters have been filled out nicely and their struggles are relatable. The family relationships between Sir Rosalind and her father and siblings give real substance.
The action starts early and builds and builds into an epic battle but there are humorous moments amid the seriousness of war
The narration by Helen Duff was excellent, her ability to voice many characters in different ways allows for keeping track of the various characters based on variation in narrative voice alone.
I look forward to the next installment of The War of Souls Apocrypha
