Hiding among gypsies, Prince Eghan wonders if God has abandoned him. Will he ever see Nara again? Will God and his people ever forgive him for his past foolishness? What kind of future will he have, a maimed vagabond king with no kingdom?
In this third and final installment of Marcia Lee Laycock’s Higher Ways series, Prince Eghan is on the run, and Queen Nara needs an alliance to help protect her kingdom. As they seek answers to their deepest needs, an even greater evil plots to destroy everything they hold dear.
Even though fantasy is not my usual choice for reading material, I enjoyed this trilogy. The faith message is clear, the characters are multi-dimensional and easy to visualize, and the action is intense. One caveat: this series needs to be read as such and in order. I recommend this series to anyone who enjoys an imaginative, exciting fantasy novel.
Journey to A New Beginning earns four stars from me. I was given an e-copy of this book by the author in exchange for my honest opinion.
