Ajeya is a girl with a secret when she is banished into the wilderness by her father, Emperor Gnaeus of Ataxata. Close to death and sheltered by her mother, she is found and accepted by the clans who give her protection for many years - until the day a rumble can be heard in the distance and an enemy breaches the horizon intent on death and destruction - but who or what do they want? Facing an army with unfathomable strength and resources, the situation is hopeless......or is it?If you like realistic personalities and well crafted worlds then you will love A Hare in the Wilderness - a tale of those who refuse to give up and surrender - a tale of those who face their fears and conquer. With strong, resilient characters in Ajeya and Keao, and others whom are less forgiving like the Emperor and his henchman the General; you are drawn into a story of love, strength and honour. For this is the Kingdom of Durundal, where those darkest secrets of the unknown test even the bravest souls. -Book 1 in the Kingdom of Durundal series--Review from amazon.comThis is probably one of the best-written books I've ever read, the descriptions were so beautiful, the words were poetic. The author really has an amazing way with words. What is more, the plot is also as captivating. Ajeya is cast aside by her father, the Emperor because she has a disfigurement by birth. The story begins with her telling her tale of strength, love, and courage as she fights the prejudices of the people and slowly realizes who she is, the heir to the Empire of Ataxata. Characters were well developed, so likable, from Dainn to Hagen and Keao and many others. Such a heartwarming beautiful story that should appeal to all ages. I'm looking forward to reading the second book in the series.
