by Sherwood Smith (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 2 ratings
Brigadoon meets Buffy

In this latest addition to the Dobrenica series, Ruli, a new vampire, is trying to adjust to this change in…can you call it a life? She’s lost everything. But that including her old reputation for weakness and lack of direction, as she discovers the lure of badassery.

At the same time, Kim and the crown prince of Dobrenica are on their honeymoon at last, but just as she and Alec are relishing the magic of Venice, they find themselves cornered and nearly grabbed by goons. Whose? More important, why? They have to figure out the roadmap to royal marriage while on the run.

Kim reaches out to Ruli for answers, and so begins a wild adventure as ancient enemies redefine what it means to be human. And inhuman.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Sherwood Smith was a teacher for twenty years, teaching history, literature, drama, and dance. Before that she worked in the film industry for several years. She writes science fiction and fantasy for adults and young readers; she has been working on the Sartorias-deles fantasy series all her life.

Readers ask where to start reading in the Sartorias-deles series? That seems a simple question, but it’s not simple to answer when a writer has been at it their entire life. Here are groupings according to possible entry points:

HISTORICAL ARC

“Lily and Crown”

Inda

The Fox

King’s Shield

Treason’s Shore

Time of Daughters (two volumes)

Banner of the Damned

To skip the past and start with the MODERN ERA, there are three starting points (two, if you begin with the children’s stories)

CHILDREN’S STORIES, (written when I was a kid) which introduce many of the characters central to later arcs.

CJ Notebooks

Senrid

Spy Princess

Sartor

All these come together in Fleeing Peace. If you don’t want to wade through all the kids’ stories, I suggest Spy Princess as a starting point, followed by Sartor, then Senrid, A Stranger to Command, then Fleeing Peace.

After that, the Rise of the Alliance begins.

A Stranger to Command is a prequel to Crown Duel, and occurs at the same time as A Sword Named Truth.

The second starting point skips the children’s stories, and shifts to a more adult POV in the RISE OF THE ALLIANCE arc.

A Sword Named Truth

The Blood Mage Texts

The Hunters and the Hunted

Nightside of the Sun

The third starting point would be the ROMANTIC STORIES, which mostly stand alone:

Crown Duel

The Trouble with Kings

Sasharia En Garde

THE NORSUNDER WAR

The Wicked Skill

Ship Without Sails

Marend of Marloven Hess (Oct. 2022)

Seek to Hold the Wind (Nov. 2022)

All Things Betray (Dec. 2022)

A Chain of Braided Silver (Jan. 2023)

The POSTWAR books and stories:

“Beauty” [published in Remalna Stores

“Court Ship” [published in Remalna Stores

Let the Torrent Dance Thee Down (May 2023)

Antiphony (September 2023)

    4.0 out of 5 stars Terrible Title but a Good Book
    Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2025
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    I mean it is a really terrible title. But like almost all of Sherwood Smith's writing the book itself is solid and enjoyable.

    This book is 4th in the series about Dobrenica and if you haven't read any of the previous books in the series I recommend that you not start here. Instead start with the 1st book, 'Coronets and Steel'. But if you read and enjoyed the previous books then you should like this one just fine. Except for that title, maybe (shakes head).
