About this ebook

Dahoud is a troubled hero with a dark past. A former siege commander with more curses on his head than a camel has flies, and a conscience heavier than a bricklayer's tray, Dahoud will do anything to atone for his atrocities. Under a new humble identity, he builds a life of peace.

But the devious ruler has not forgotten his conquering general. He tracks Dahoud down and offers him immense power, including the chance to protect the land he once devastated -- if he once more reprises his role as the fearsome Black Besieger. Thrust back into the turmoil and temptations of war, driven by demonic desires, how can Dahoud shield the women he loves from the evil inside him?

A sweeping epic with magic, battles, intrigues and shifting alliances, Storm Dancer will appeal to readers who love A Game of Thrones. It contains dark issues and is not suitable for young readers. This is a big book, providing many hours of reading pleasure and excitement.

    This is a great Epic Fantasy story with a difference. I liked it. It has a Middle Eastern style setting, instead of the traditional Medieval Europe, which is quite nice for a change.

    It is long, though. The blurb says it's for fans of A Game of Thrones. While it's not quite as long as that particular tome, the scope of the story, as well as the level of violence, definitely makes me think it would appeal.

    There are two separate storylines in this book, both very well fleshed out and completely able to stand on their own, but they come together beautifully about midway through. Very indicative of traditional Epic Fantasy. The characters too are well fleshed out, believable, and likeable (even the baddies have some redeeming qualities), and the magic system is unique and entertaining.

    The editing let it down, though. Tons of missing words (mostly articles, "the", "a" etc, but some nouns and verbs too), misspellings... and a weird formatting issue. I don't know if this is just a Scribd thing, but whenever a hyphenated word needs to get split across two lines to keep it justified, the word somehow gets an EXTRA hyphen, so there's now three.

    Weird.

    Anyway, it's a good story, and one I've been meaning to read for quite some time now. Rayne Hall is a great writing coach, and her books on the craft are really useful. And this is the book that she most often includes excerpts of in her non-fiction works when she wants to prove a point. But after what I noticed about the editing, this may just be a case of "Those who can't, teach"....
