Publisher's Book Description
“Marya Santelyn, pampered daughter of the Merchant’s
Guild, hides a secret. A power stirs within her, one that could destroy
everything she holds dear, or save it. When her ability to see the future
becomes too apparent for comfort, the spunky Marya takes matters into her own
hands and runs, right into the arms of the enemy.
Tam Randene, warrior of the ancient race that makes the mysterious wildwood
their home, never expected one of his tribe’s sworn enemies to request his aid
to escape her pursuers, but he swiftly recognizes Marya’s value. The land of
Alyna hasn’t had a seer in generations. The man who protects her would have a
powerful ally, and the man who wins her heart could well rule all.
Captive among his tribe, Marya begins to learn how to embrace her gift even as
she begins to feel far too at home with Tam’s rambunctious family. As her
visions become increasingly more dire, she and Tam realize that danger is
coming to Alyna, danger that will require her people and his to band together
to survive. Can she convince her people to listen, or will they tear her from
Tam’s arms? Because her heart tells her something her visions never could:
Nothing is more important than being together.”

My Review
Seer of the Wildwood, by Regen Allen, is the first book in the Bonded Realms series. This novel is filled with plenty of adventure, romance, and fantasy elements. Magical gifts, fanciful creatures, warriors, visions, and foes make this book truly enchanting. With its vivid characters, creative settings, and enduring themes, this story is quite memorable and entertaining. From the first page to the last, this novel is cleverly written, beautifully detailed, and very compelling.
Alternating between the perspectives of the two main characters, this novel grows increasingly captivating. As the story develops, the characters encounter surprising allies, lethal dangers, and painful choices that compel them to embrace that which is courageous and just. Even when faced with significant doubts, selflessness and integrity encourage the characters to follow a path that will have significant consequences for themselves and for those whom they love.
With genuine talent, Regan Allen has succeeded in creating a fictional, fantasy world that is alluring and uniquely special. Throughout the novel, unexpected surprises and imaginative twists help to create a story that is utterly fascinating and very satisfying. Seer of the Wildwood is moving, gripping, enjoyable, and unforgettable. I recommend it wholeheartedly to all readers, and I look forward to reading the next book in the series.
