Synopsis
Dromiskin, Ireland. 925 A.D.
Eira has no greater desire than to see her life returned to what it once was-before her older brother Kevin's sudden disappearance four years earlier. But the simple life she hoped for seems unattainable; on the contrary, her life is about to get all the more complicated.
When she suddenly finds herself and Willem, her twin brother, taken captive by someone who claims to be Kevin's enemy, things go from bad to worse. It soon becomes clear that she and Willem are to become bait in a trap set for Kevin, and Eira knows she must try to warn him. But how, when she herself is a captive?
As mysteries of the past are unveiled, and loyalties are revealed, Eira realizes how precious her friends truly are. And when mortal danger threatens those nearest to her, will she be able to trust God with the lives of her friends and family?
Review
This was a great book! I really enjoy the way Jesseca writes!
The characters were amazing! Eira, Casimir, Willem, Kevin, and Stace- just to name a few. :)
I liked how Eira learned to use the sword, and was actually really good at it. It added a nice twist to the story. The suspense and twists in the storyline kept me guessing. It was fascinating to read more about Dromiskin, Ireland.
I really appreciated the faith theme: dealing with jealousy. If it is left alone to fester in your soul, it can lead to destruction. The Silent Blade was well researched and well written!
Favorite quote: "Jealousy is like a sword, a silent blade that comes into our life and wrenches from us any good that may have been there before. And without Jesus' help it will never stop..."
