Tara's Honour by Brynneth N. Colvin

Tara's Honour by Brynneth N. Colvin

Category – Fantasy

Tara returns to her village to find that her uncle had been brutally murdered in his home. With his dying breath he accuses his niece as being his killer. Tara who had been absent from home for two years, was days away with three traveling companions (Mist, Varn and Moseley) when her uncle was murdered.

Tara's denial of this charge goes unheard as residents of her village have already testified that they witnessed her entering her uncle's home and arguing with him. With no one believing her innocence, she had been found guilty by the village council for which her father is a member and was sentenced. Execution will be her fate if she is captured.

Tara goes to the one person she trusts, her mentor, Emyr. Despite the overwhelming evidence against her, he provides her shelter. With little time to find the true murderer, Tara's companions and her mentor must help her work through the dire circumstance.

Ms. Colvin characters are well described as is the fantastic world she created. You are immediately immersed in Tara's plight as she searches for the truth. Midway through the story when Emyr is taunted by a dark shadow you can almost sense his mental anguish as he argues with it, not knowing whether the shadow is real or if everything is happening in his head. Both Tara and Emyr characters must rise above their personal conflicts to find resolution.

I found the story to be cleverly original as well as intriguing. Ms. Colvin gave a perfect balance in blending fantasy and mystery together. It's a good read that I highly recommend.
