Description Reclaimed Kingdom by Dana Claire

The Legend is true. The Fear is real.

Under the cruel ministrations of its Queen, the Kingdom of D’Land is in peril. With King Harrison away in foreign lands and neighboring Kingdoms unwilling to intervene, there is no one to protect the people from poverty, harsh punishment, and unreasonable rules of law – except for the Band of Brothers. Struggling with the death of her mother and the legendary Syphon powers she inherited, seventeen year old Dru wants nothing more than to escape her old life and join the motley crew of ruffians, pilfering from the rich to feed the poor and pay their taxes.

She’s able to do just that disguised as a lad, and even when her nature is discovered, nothing changes – except for the way her friend Hawkin treats her. But Dru’s new world is overturned when she and the Brothers seize the treasures of a Prince who threatens to reveal her identity. Together, Dru and her chosen family must find a way to reclaim her destiny and bring balance to the Kingdom. If not, there may be no hope left for anyone.

Review Reclaimed Kingdom by Dana Claire

Guest Review by Mark S.

In the kingdom of D’Land, all is not well. The king, a man named Harrison has left the country on diplomatic business and, in his stead his wife, Ebbigal has gained control. But Ebbigal, in the way of all great evil queens, has begun lashing out against her people in truly terrible ways.

Ebbigal must be stopped, but who has the power to take on a queen? The answer to this question may just come from the least expected place. Deep in the forest of D’Land, where the peasants and poor folk struggle to get by, lives a band of merry men called The Band of Brothers. The Brothers like to rob from the rich and give to the poor, helping their destitute community and developing a bad reputation amongst the rich folk all at once.

However, one of the Brothers is not who they claim to be. A teenage girl named Dru, who pretends to be a boy in order to fight and live with the gang, is not only gifted with a supernatural ability that allows her to syphon from other people’s emotional states, but she is also connected to the king and queen in a way that she has not yet revealed to her brothers in arms.

After an incident with a prince from a neighboring land, Dru finds the new life that she has built beginning to unravel and she must decide if she is ready to fight for her people against Queen Ebbigal or if she will continue to hide away in the woods.

Five stars to this beautifully written YA fantasy that I simply couldn’t put down! I was so sad to get to the end of this book and so happy to discover that it is only the first in a series! I can’t wait to see what happens next!

About Dana Claire

If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to be a vampire, slay a dragon, or use a time machine, there’s a book for that.
