Description:
Will fabled objects of myth be enough to defend their emerald isle?

The mystical Tuatha Dé Danann walked the hills of ancient Ireland long before the first Rí, or king, ever ruled the land. Before they stepped back to make way for mankind, they left behind objects of incredible power that would reveal themselves when most needed. When invaders from the North arrive, it feels like the moment that has long been foretold has finally come.

Deidre, the daughter of a Rí, and Kylin, the son of a Northman who found peace and a home in Éire, have little in common, until they begin seeing visions of these fantastical gifts. The revelation that a traitor exists among the many Irish kings forces them to work together using their newfound powers in defense of their homeland. As all they hold dear comes under threat, it may be more than just dreams that the two begin to share…

Review:

The Sword of Light is a standalone novel by Heather Graham. The story revolves around two warriors, who are on a quest to protect their lands from a traitor.  Deidre, the daughter of a Rí, and Kylin, the son of a Northman at home in Éire.  Deidre and Kylin are our heroes, and in a short time they begin to get fantastical objects, gifted weapons with magical properties. They learn that it is one of the Tuatha De Danann’s four sacred gifts that exist to protect their emerald isle.

There is action throughout as Deidre and Kylin are constantly being set upon by enemies. They also shared dreams that would lead them to clues, as to the battles yet to come. The wonderful gifts they get will help guide them, as Deidre, was given a magnificent powerful Sword, and Kylin, receives an amazing Cauldron, and they both discover the stone pebbles.  In time, they begin to fall in love, as they work closely together to uncover a traitor in their midst, and protect their people in the upcoming invasion.

I really found myself loving Deidre and Kylin, as they were perfectly matched.  The chemistry between them was awesome, especially with the magic of love. I also liked Declan, Cillian and others who were willing to help. I did enjoy Aidan, who was Deidre’s brother, and a very good leader. 

The Sword of Light was a very good read, The action and adventure were fast paced and exciting. The Sword of Light was very well written by Heather Graham. Deidre and Kylin ended up to a terrific couple, despite all the terrible danger they faced.   I suggest you read The Sword of Light.
