Blazing Earth A Novel of the Stone Circles Terri Brisbin 9780451469120 Books

Terri Brisbin has succeeded again with this new series, and I was entranced from the first few pages of this story. This author has a definite affinity for writing this kind of story, and her knowledge of how her characters might have lived centuries ago is remarkable. I was quickly immersed in the plot, and the characters were vivid and very real to me through her writing skill. The next two books in the series have already been ordered - I can't wait to read them!

I enjoyed this third installment in the Stone Circles series.

As Blazing Earth begins, Lord Hugh de Gifford is still on his quest to free Chaela, the goddess of chaos and fire who was trapped by her fellow gods and goddesses many years ago. The Warriors of Destiny, descendants of these original ancient Celtic deities, are doing all within their powers to permanently close the gateways through which Chaela may escape. Everyone converges where the last two Warriors can be found. Tolan, an Earthblood, has heard the stories passed down through his family and has an uncanny ability to make things grow. He is the overseer of Lord Geoffrey’s lands. Elethea (Thea), the Sunblood, is known about town for her healing and midwifery talents, but she is clueless when her godly powers begin to show themselves. Tolan and Thea have an arrangement of sorts but really do love each other, and Tolan would like very much to marry Thea. However, Thea was abused by her first husband and left barren as a result of her injuries, and she cannot bring herself to accept Toran’s proposal because she knows that he would like to have more children. As they learn more about their powers from the other Warriors, their bond becomes even stronger, but they are faced with a horrible choice when Lord Hugh captures Tolan’s son Kirwyn.

Blazing Earth may be my favorite of the Stone Circle novels thus far. I felt a great affinity for Tolan and Thea and appreciated that they were already in a romantic relationship and did not get together because they were “supposed to” as Warriors. Tolan’s love for his son and Thea were endearing. Thea’s pain over her inability to bear children and subsequent feeling of not feeling deserving of Tolan’s love was heartbreaking. I am hopeful that their newfound abilities from the gods will somehow solve this problem in the next book. One can hope. Lord Hugh was delightfully evil, and he never fails to make my stomach turn at least once per book. The other Warriors were featured some in this installment, and it was exciting to see everyone come together.

Tolan was faced with an impossible, no-win choice that no parent should ever have to encounter. I do not know if I would choose differently if I found myself in the same circumstances. The repercussions of this choice led to a welcome plot change with a different outcome than the other books. This carried the story along nicely and kept me reading to find out what would happen next.

I definitely think that the Stone Circles books should be read in order and that it would be difficult to read as a standalone novel. I enjoyed my time in the thirteenth century and look forward to reading the next installment. I recommend Blazing Earth to fans of Terri Brisbin and to readers who enjoy a dollop of supernatural fantasy with their historical romantic adventures.
Swept me off my feet and delighted again as award winning best selling author Terri Brisbin totally had me hooked and mesmerized from start to finish in this unique, enthralling ,romantic, paranormal fantasy that I lost one night of sleep reading this enchanting book. Another astonishing, surprising , emotional and and captivating read in Terri Brisbin's third installment of her spectacular The Stone Circles series a historical paranormal fantasy with Greek mythology with a twist that is absolutely brilliant. So many twists and turns your head will spin but in a marvellous way, as readers won't be able to put this fast paced exhilarating book down! Readers of Rising Fire and Raging Sea, books one and two, of The Stone Circles series will be thrilled to be reunited with Will, Brienne, Soren and Ran plus all Priests and Priestess and seer Aislinn. I am not stranger to Miss Brisbin's novel's and writing , but I must say this might be her best one yet! I have been reading her books for close to two decades as her talent just seems to grow and pour off the pages, with a story and characters that really come life that I really felt emotionally invested reading Blazing Earth, as I think anyone will. Definitely one of my favorite reads for 2016 and one readers don't want to miss!

Brienne of Rising Fire, Book one, father the evil Hugh DeGifford is back searching for the two gateways with a vegenance after two failed attempts in which he was punished for his failures by Chaela. Again Goddess Chaela is up-to to her evil ways and having her evil minion Hugh de Gifford do her dirty work for her, again as he hopes to be rewarded as her human consort believing she will rule the earth once she is freed and destroyed all her enemies including his blood daughter Brienne! Hugh not aware she really wants to destroy the earth and all of mankind!

As the legend begans....when long long ago her fellow Gods had to weave a powerful spell and combine forces to imprison this evil Goddess, Chaela before she overtook and destroyed the Earth and mankind! They also knew she had to be in a seal proof prison forever as she cannot be truly destroyed being a Goddess, so they decided to instill their powers in their human bloodlines, so someone could keep watch forever knowing the humans were now safe and the Gods could leave this world. These watchers per says were called Warriors of Destiny, a race of human men and women who could keep the evil away and the gods we're confident they would never need to do more then watch and never ever need rise against evil....or so they thought?

In love with the heroine of this story Elethea ( Thea) who is the village healer and can only give physical,and mental love, but cannot continue his line of offspring though Tolan is not aware that Thea can not to to conceive due to her deceased husband's physical abuse. All Tolan knows is he wants this woman forever as he feels their connection like non before and will not take no for an answer, Tolan is an Earthblood and knows some of his powers but does not realize his capacity of his power or what he is capable of besides able to make barren lands fertile again.

Thea is the village healers and always feels more at peace when soaking in the sun as she is unaware she is a Sunblood, but doesn't realize as she has no background or family history of this power and never has been told. It isn't until her power recently changes as she who has always healed with herbs as was taught to her by her mother before her. Now she can suddenly heal with her hands which is totally new and scares her as it is dangerous times for healers when someone might accuse her of sorcery or witchcraft if things don't go right.

The Warriors of Destiny Will and Brienne, Soren and Ran, the Priest's and Priestess Aislinn are in a race to find these new Warriors as they also can feel the evil Hugh and know that another gateway needs to be sealed and knows that these two just coming into their powers too. The results could be catastrophic if swayed by Hugh as it is a battle of good versus evil but what will the earthblood and sunblood choose? Will Hugh sway them on the side of evil or will they join forces with the other warriors of destiny to seal the other gateway as they know there are two more gateways that Chaela can escape from. Will she finally get her desire and be freed to destroy all of mankind and will Hugh get his wish to be her human consort at her side for his loyalty and service to his goddess! Will Hugh finally get his just desserts as he truly deserves and shall Goddess Chaela be sealed In her prison forever as the Gods desired and planned from so long ago? You will have to read this powerful, heart wrenching remarkable story to find out that an more.

What a book! A total masterpiece as I have absolutely and unequivocally loved all three books in the series, but I think think this is best one yet! Has all the elements readers of historical paranormal fantasy romance are looking for in this powerful riveting magical adventure weaved with drama, terror, mystery suspense, mythology heartbreak, loss, magic with passion that sizzle off the pages and of course love. It has amazing dialogue and phenomenal plots that left me breathless gasping for air, I was totally enchanted and spellbound! Loved it and I cannot recommend it enough one you do not want to miss as I can't wait for book four in "The Stone Circles" series!
