In Bed of Rose and
Thorns by Lee Hunt, Sir Ezra — one of the most loyal fighters of the Queen,
and the same who, eleven years ago, risked his life to protect her, killing the
Prince of Erl and his knights — returns to the land he once loved after many years
of exile. Rose, the Queen, has exiled him to keep him safe. Having served Lady
Kristen for years, she sends Ezra back to the capital as her steward. Returning
the capital, Ezra discovers that the Queen’s rule is in tatters, threatened by
many enemies. He still finds his friend, Sir Marigold. As Ezra navigates a
tense world, struggling to find a stronghold, he has to deal with his obsession
for the Queen and his secret powers as an Elysian Bell — one with the ability
to communicate his emotions with sounds similar to those of a ringing bell. As
threats to his life and the kingdom escalate, he has to confront the ultimate
moment when forced to unleash his hidden powers.
This is a wonderfully written fantasy with memorable
characters and impeccable world-building. Lee Hunt’s work is hugely imaginative
and Sir. Ezra is one of his finest creations, a character with an inner world
that is labyrinthine, filled with complex emotions and conflict. Sir. Ezra
faces two challenges in his life — taking control of his great powers and
dealing with his irresistible attraction for the Queen, Rose. The writing is
crisp, littered with vivid descriptions, and Hunt excels at creating focused
scenes, presenting an engaging tale that is interspersed with a piercing
narrative and spellbinding dramatic episodes. This novel is a delight with
believable characters cast in another world and era, a world that feels so
real, yet so different from ours. Bed of
Rose and Thorns is a winner for fans of medieval fantasy.
