The Fury Of Dragons
Sword & Spirit book 2
by Renee Yancy
| -From Amazon- Eleri is abducted on the day of her baptism by pirates on a slaving raid and taken across the sea to Britannia. About to be auctioned off to the highest bidder for the second time in her young life, she is taken off the block at the last moment by Coroticus, the fearsome British chieftain who led the raid. Coroticus doesn’t understand why this skinny girl-child has bedeviled him from the moment he laid eyes on her. But when, on the deck of his ship, she speaks to him the identical words carved into his mother’s tomb, all he knows is he cannot let her go. The premise of The Fury of Dragons is based on St. Patrick's fifth-century text, Letter to the Soldiers of Coroticus, in which he condemns the British chieftain who stole his converts and “gave girls away like prizes.” ASIN: B074XGPGWQ One girl, one warrior, ONE Savior... I knew I wanted to read this book as soon as I read the back cover blurb. All it took was a tie to Ireland by the mention of St. Patrick and the fact that the story was based on a real letter and thus real history. |  This Book received a 4 Bark rating.

I have to admit that I was quite impressed with the way Renee Yancy handled storytelling about ancient times, something that isn't that easy due to our modern mindset. The ancient world was a harsh and deadly place to live which accurately plays out in The Fury Of Dragons. For that reason I would recommend this book more for adult and older teen readers. However, if you want a look into the life of slave and warrior in Roman Britain this book just might be for you. The contrast between early Christians and the pagan lifestyle surrounding them was quite fascinating.
To me, this story was more than just a historical. It was also the journey of a young girl coming to a new maturity in her faith despite facing unthinkable tragedy. Even today we face many of the same struggles as those living thousands of years ago.
A compelling story that I had a difficult time putting down, The Fury Of Dragons is a must read for fans of stories set in ancient times and those with a love for Ireland and Britain of long ago.
