Narrative During Books Legend of the Emerald Rose
~REVIEW~King Author has been killed in battle, and Queen Guenevere has been murdered. Merlin has vanished and left a betrayed son behind. Bitter with the world and God because of his father’s betrayal and his family’s death, Shadoe un Hollo Tors, the apprentice high steward, has left it all behind. Camelot is lost, Lancelot and the other knights of the round table missing, and demonic forces are determined to capture the Isle of Might. But Shadoe made a promise to the dying Guenevere, that he would find the lost heir to the throne and protect the Emerald Rose. Shadoe faces the demons of his past and reluctantly returns to Camelot.
Emerald Rose Rayn is a warrior at heart and has a passionate faith for God. She loves the Isle of Might as much as the next knight. The birthmark of the Pendragon proclaims her heir and rightful Queen, And yet she has no idea of her birthright. When Shadoe un Hollo Tors comes riding in, spouting nonsense about his duty to Merlin, she knows trouble is afoot. But she doesn’t expect him to be her knight in shinning armor. And she certainly doesn’t expect what God has in plan for Shadoe and Rayn as they, together and with The Almighty, fight enemies both physically and spiritually.
~My thoughts~
Legend of the Emerald Rose lets your mind explore what every heart wishes to believe in. Camelot.
What if Arthur and Guenevere we’re real? What if the knights of the Round Table really did defend Camelot with valor. And what if Merlin had a son, and Arthur a daughter, that lived to see it all?
In truth, Legends like Camelot have always had a place in my heart, so I knew this book would be good. It was! VERY good, in fact!
I know it’s considered a fantasy novel, but really, it felt so real I consider it more historical than fantasy. The story jumped out alive and pulled all senses deep within, untill you could smell the flowers and see the shimmery stone of Camelot.It showed the all-powerfullness of God, and told a story of two people he appointed to a very special quest.
I wouldn’t recommend this for light reading… I basically read it for 15 hours straight. It was deep and thought-provoking, and very well-written! I haven’t cried such deep sobs over a book since I read the Last Battle by C. S. Lewis. No, no! They were good, happy sobs! But I had lots of tissues in my lap by the time the last page came to an end.
I HIGHLY recommend this book to any medieval/fantasy lover, and commend Linda Wichman for this amazing tale of redeeming love and truth.

W.H. Auden identified five responses adults have to literature. One of them is, "I can see this isn't great literature, but I like it anyway." That sums up how I feel about this book. What historical background it has is horribly twisted; the main characters' actions border on the creepy toward the object of their affections; the author's language is overly flowery and hard to follow at times; and the love story is so start-and-stop it's hard to identify with; but I still liked the story, rootedLOVE this book!
I love any stories of King Arthur. There is something that seems so magical about that time. Well, Ms. Wichman takes the much beloved story and creates a wonderful tale of love lost, forgiveness and loved gained. Shadoe was just a teenager when Camelot fell, and he saw both Arthur and his queen fall under Mordred and Morgana. Just before Guinevere dies, he promised to take care of the Emerald Rose, the most important talisman in all of the British Isle. He is now a man with a past that he
I love, love, loved this book.

What an inspiring novel based on Merlin and Arthur's decendents... I didn't know what to think, but I read this book so quickly that I may have to read it again! So much transpired. Amazing!
