Red Flower: Stormbird 5 (Stormbrid)

It might look simple; the odds might be in her favour; but is Rox missing a point in her campaign in Greenfields?The battle is to be joined; Rox’s overwhelming army is ready to march on Pantrol, the rogue count of Greenfields; but is it all as straight-forward as it seems on paper? Does her advantage of twelve trained men for every one the count can field sum up the battle field?Every assassin that has been sent into Greenfields to kill the rogue count and his mysterious heir has vanished without trace; no information has come out of Greenfields; the silence has a bloody, fiery timbré to it. Rox knows that there is more to the situation than her men have reported. So, she decides that her best course is to hold up the army for a little while, and go have a look herself, with a small, deadly team of dangerous assassins to back her up. But she won’t go through the front door; no, she has a trick worth three of that. And she has to investigate the deadly, desolate province of the Barrens; she might as well pop in there on her way to decapitate the count and his cronies.The trip is a bit longer; and far more dangerous than she realised at first; and she has to get into Greenfields before her army comes pounding on the doors. Once there; she has to deal with the Flame; and that was far more than she had realised; since most of the flame was already within herself.Rox is the new fantasy hero of our time! A brilliant and masterful book, written by the past master of fantasy adventure - James Elric McLeodIt’s time the ladies took centre stage in the world of superb fantasy narrative – Amanda von Blajn
