Summary

Alana has been captured. She expected an agonizing death to follow, but instead, she now finds herself a guest of the Tsar. Locked away amidst the wealth and luxury, it isn’t long before she learns the reason she was spared - her entire life has been a lie. Her true identity lurks within, chained by magic, but with promises of untold power. It terrifies her, and yet...she must know the truth.

Meanwhile, ex-soldier Devon plans a fresh rebellion in Trola. But after carving his legend in the blood of their people, he’s a marked man. He’ll have to watch his step if he’s to successfully negotiate the shifting tides of the Trolan cause - and not end up dead in the process. Either way, failure is not an option, because without an uprising, Alana will be lost to him forever....

Grab this all new epic fantasy by New York Times best-selling author Aaron Hodges.

Superb! I wasn’t expecting that twist in the plot!

Shield of Winter is the second instalment of the Legend of the Gods trilogy and the story just gets better and better. Aaron Hodges continues with his well-constructed storyline and vividly-drawn characters and imagery. What a mind-boggling twist in the plot where Alana is concerned and the tragic repercussions that radiate out from that; not what I was expecting at all! I was on tenterhooks from start to finish and am eager for the final instalment of this trilogy.

David Stifel does another great job with narration and character voices, although I prefer to listen at speed 1.25. That’s the advantage with Audible; you can pick a speed to suit your own preference. Whilst I usually prefer Scottish and Irish accents for this genre of book, David Stifel does have a pleasant speaking voice for the narration and, where dialogue takes place between different characters, it is easy to know who is “speaking”. Choose your ideal speed for the narration and enjoy. The tale is gripping and I just had to keep listening.
