Title: Legend
Series: Sinister Fairy Tales Collection
Author: M.R. Leahy
Genre: Dark Fairy Tale Retelling
Release Date: February 6, 2020
Far, far away, hidden on Insula Sacra—Island of the Accursed— lives a forgotten world of man and beast.
Damned by the Gods, and forced to live in everlasting darkness, they continue to fight a war that has long since been buried in time.
With each rise and fall of the cursed moon, they are reminded of all they’ve lost.
Desperate for freedom, they await the night the one true king will rise to power and free them from the curse.
The King, however, cannot rise without his Queen—both blessed with the mark of the Gods, they must end the war to save them all.
Or so the legend says…
"They abandoned us, cursed us. An endless war, a dying race...the prophecy states that once united, the chosen one, bearing the mark of the gods, will bring forth the one true king.” Balling my hand into a fist, I turn and face the great room. “I will be that King. No matter what it takes, no matter how many people must burn to make it so, we will rise again and this time, not even the Gods will be able to stop us.”
Claire's Review
⭐⭐⭐⭐
Legend, firstly is an installment in the Sinister Fairy Tales Collection, although it can be read as a stand-alone, I would also like to recommend that you read the other books, as even though they do not link, they are all brilliant so far.
Legend is a 'sinister' retelling of the story of Tarzan and Jane, and although I have never been a huge fan of the original Tarzan, this story took me pleasantly by surprise, considering that I really did not think this would be one I would enjoy. This was a quick read but was fast-paced and action-packed.
This is one of those books that you really cannot write much about without any major spoilers, it just should be read instead.
