With only four days until Cade is to be crowned High King of the Britons, the combined might of gods and men are set to prevent his ascension. Once again the companions are scattered as the struggle against dark forces--both old and new--threatens to overwhelm them.
The Pendragon's Challenge is the seventh novella in The Last Pendragon Saga.
With over a million books sold to date, Sarah Woodbury is the author of more than forty novels, all set in medieval Wales. Although an anthropologist by training, and then a full-time homeschooling mom for twenty years, she began writing fiction when the stories in her head overflowed and demanded that she let them out. While her ancestry is Welsh, she only visited Wales for the first time at university. She has been in love with the country, language, and people ever since. She even convinced her husband to give all four of their children Welsh names.
Sarah is a member of the Historical Authors Fiction Cooperative (HFAC), the Historical Novel Society, and Novelists, Inc. (NINC).
This was another really good chapter in the overall Last Pendragon series. There was war and deception, and a continuing quest for the treasures, but the fellowship of the companions of Cade and Rhiann held strong.
As I am continuing on to the last book of the series, I will feel a little sad leaving it behind even as I am excited to see how it ends.
Once again the narration of the audiobook was very well done.
The companions are scattered, each to their own task, to try and find the six missing sacred items of the original thirteen. Each appeared to face a dead end until fate or their own abilities that they didn't fully utilise were harnessed.
People who say a series should end with 5 books are wrong. This is #7 and the best yet. It could go on forever. There's magic, romance, strategy, history, honor, and touches of King Arthur. Sometimes in unexpected ways. The characters are well developed, the story flows, fantastical things happen. How could this world be real? In fact, how could it not be? Read this series and find yourself traveling to medieval Wales. But be careful what you wish for out loud because you could find yourself in this sometimes scary place.
