"The Shepherd King" duology captivated me in a genre I never thought would held my interest—the Gothic. Rachel’s duuology with its familiar premise of forbidden magic and generational curse, transcends the ordinary by seamlessly weaving a uniquely magical tale.
The narrative unfolds around a group of individuals, a maiden, a Destrier captain, a highwayman, a bethroed, and a prince. Each leading distinct lives yet intricately connected in their quest to break the chains of a curse plaguing their kingdom. An enchanted mist, driven by curse, engulfs the kingdom and induce a madness that stems from the lost of their talismen. The spellbinding storytelling, adorned with poetry and enigmatic riddles immersed me wholly in this fantastic realms.
What sets Rachel’s work apart is her ability to infuse the characters with life, portraying them in a raw and unfiltered manner. The palpable pain and the yearning for liberation from their own traumas resonated through the pages, allowing me to empathise with their struggles. The characters’ depth and complexity became a conduit for me to vicariously experience their journey, making the narrative all the more enthralling.
I am grateful to have stumbled upon this literary jewel, and eagerly anticipate more from Rachel in the future!
