Child of the Ghosts

Child of the Ghosts by Jonathan Moeller is a ripping good Sword and Sorcery novel. It had me on the edge of my seat from the very first page to the very last page. It's been a while since that happened.

It is the story of eleven year old Caina Amalas, whose father dotes on her and has tried to teach her everything about the world, and instilled in her a love of books and reading. Her mother however, a would-be sorceress, hates her and wishes she were dead.

On one tragic day, a day that changed Caina's life forever, she loses both her parents, and spends the next while suffering tortures no one should suffer, let alone a young girl.

She is rescued by the Ghosts, a legendary band of assassins who work for the Emperor. Under their tutelage, she becomes a deadly weapon.

I don't want to give away any more of the story; read it for yourself! It is available at Amazon A definite must read! 9/10
