Oathtaker, the first book in a series by Patricia Reding, is the refreshingly unique novel about Mara, a trained oathtaker living in the land of Oosa. The sacrifices made by oathtakers are great, but those sworn to fulfill the task have willingly accepted the burden of their responsibilities. Oosa, a world full of rich traditions and powerful legends, is the setting for this fantasy fiction novel of epic proportions in which ancient prophecies are revealed and good wages war upon evil. This highly engaging book boasts a robust plot paired with a healthy share of life and death struggles and a delightful love story woven throughout.
In this adventure-filled tale Reding incorporates devious characters and charming heroes, cunningly beautiful ladies, and enchanted buildings. Each character is distinctive, believable and well developed. We loved the story, the flow, the excitement and can’t wait for the next book in what promises to be a great series.
Oathtaker comes highly recommended and has earned the Literary Classics Seal of Approval.
