The Rython Kingdom

A former knight renowned for his battle honours travels the land to delight lords and ladies with his tales. With a summons from the King, Guillem travels to court, unaware he is a pawn in a vengeful witch’s plan. The famed troubadour attends the king’s court to recite a marvelous tale, one he never told before imagined from a dream. His suspicions of hidden dangers are raised by a mysterious servant, whose identity is masked by magic. With the help of a wizened old woman, and her beautiful granddaughter, Guillem attempts to outwit the witch to save the kingdom from murder and mayhem. He ultimately finds himself part of a ritual for life everlasting with the entrancing and mysterious Juliana.

Be ready for surprises and action along the way – you will love the renowned troubadour, Guillem, as he shares a dreamlike tale with a spellbound audience. You will lose yourself as part of that audience whilst he tells his story with such cunning that worlds collide. Magic, witches, creatures, and mayhem abound – the author provides you a front row seat. I thoroughly enjoyed this book!

This is now one of my favourite novellas because not only is there elements of mystery but there are hidden riddles and every page turned made me question who can be trusted? Very intriguing! I felt like I was right there with the characters listening to Guillem’s tale. I marvel at the idea of a story written within a story, so brilliantly accomplished. But most of all, I love Guillem and Juliana’s tenacious bond and forever link – the way love should be.

A magical tale that will have you spellbound!

What an enchanting story, I could not read it quickly enough. It is difficult to even begin to tell you how wonderful this story is. The book is set in the days of old and gives a tale within a tale. It fills the mind with Kingdoms, a traveling troubadour, sorcery, and interwoven love stories all created by the authors exceptional talent and flair. I certainly hope she continues this adventure!

5.0 out of 5 stars

First impressions are crucial, and Mandy Eve-Barnett makes a damn good first impression on readers on this book! The author has an intricate, but not too complex, style of narrative and she uses words that force the imagery of the period and setting of her story. In less than three sentences, you are aware and set on the scenario that she is trying to convey. Excellent!
