Book Description:
Quest to the Death
Devlin of Duncaer is the Chosen One, champion of the Kingdom of Jorsk. A simple metalsmith and farmer turned warrior, he has become the most unlikely of heroes to the conquerors of his own people, the Caerfolk. Yet there is a growing faction of Jorskians who believe that if he were truly anointed as Chosen One by the Gods, then the immortals would have given him the Sword of Light as proof of his calling.
Missing for generations, the sword is more myth than reality. But Devlin knows where to find it. Lost in battle after the Jorskians’ brutal massacre of Caerfolk, it has remained in Duncaer, a souvenir of one of the land’s darkest days.
Feeling more than ever a pawn of fate--and a plaything of the Gods who drive him--Devlin must return to the land of his birth, back to the people who have denounced him. For he is bound by an oath he has no choice but to obey...a promise he may have to die to keep.

This 2nd book of the trilogy has Devlin feeling less the doomed man who only becomes the Chosen One so he can die to feeling like he's been destined to become the Chosen One by the gods. He doesn't really like this at all. But the quest this time is to find the lost Sword of Light back in his old home region of Duncaer where it was the instrumental weapon leading to the loss of their freedom of that region to the Jorskians' rule. The feeling of threat from some unknown force is getting stronger but Devlin has to leave anyway to find the sword that is lost before he can fight the threat that is coming. It is hard for him to go home. This book is better than the first because there is less world-building and more action that is a little more believable. I enjoyed it. Not hard to read at all.

I liked book 1 MUCH better. I felt she lost some of the main characters personality in this book.
I like fantasy, the Devlin stories are on the easy reading side... a fun read but not as in depth as Tolken or G. Martin. If you like knights and sword fighting, and the reluctant hero, then this makes a lite read.
