Publisher Description
The world is dark, divided, and in desperate need of a hero.
Bandits destroyed Skye's home and sent her running into the hands of a power-hungry despot. Now, with the government burying itself in bunkers underground and technology lost to all but a sacred few, the hunt for a weapon of incredible magic has begun.
And the hunters have their sights set on Skye.
One is a powerful sorcerer who wants her to join the fight. All she has to do is accept his gift: a sword possessed of legendary magic that is both terrible and frightening.
A sword that can turn her into that hero.
That is...if can she wield its power without losing herself to it…
Fans of Faith Hunter, Helen Harper, and Ilona Andrews have already begun to sink their teeth into this gritty fantasy adventure.

Skye’s Redemption
Skye Shade lives in a dystopian world. All technology has been destroyed and lost. It is now like the Middle Ages. Skye is a mercenary. She has worked for some tyrants to survive.
Skye now lives in New Denver. She barters items to help people. She thinks she does it in a way that no one will notice. She is running from her past. She tries to make up for what she did in her past by helping people. Unfortunately the man she used to work for, Hunter Wolfe, is looking for her. No one leaves his employ and lives. He is a supposed man of justice. The justice he metes out is usually lethal. He is hunting Skye and wants to execute her.
Skye finds the Lady in the Lake and is given Excalibur. Will Excalibur make her strong enough to defeat Hunter and his Blood Sword?
The story started out slowly and drags through most of the book. Towards the end it picks up with the impending battle with Hunter. Will Skye survive her battle with Hunter? Will she be able to save the town? There is also a potential romance in the future for Skye with Lance the blacksmith. Will Skye allow herself to become vulnerable to someone?
This is the first book in The Queen of Skye and Shadow series. The story has some action but not enough to keep you wanting to read the series. The book was ok but I did not care for it. I do not think I will read the next book in this series. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and I am voluntarily leaving a review.
