Publisher's summary

Delve into the twisted, magical world of H. L. Macfarlane’s Bright Spear trilogy, now compiled into an omnibus edition for the first time!

Set in regency-era Scotland along the beautiful shore of Loch Lomond, Prince of Foxes is based on the Scots tale of Gold Tree and Silver Tree, with Lord of Horses moving down to the dark streets of London and based on the tale of The Kelpie’s Bride. King of Forever, the final story in the trilogy, is set in the faerie realm itself and is based on the tale of Tam Lin and the myth of Hades and Persephone. Fall in love with the series listeners have described as delightful, compelling, and enchanting.

Inside this edition:

  • Prince of Foxes: Bewitched by dreams of a cursed faerie prince, Sorcha seeks out a kelpie to use its powers to save him, flee from a loveless arranged marriage and protect the area she lives in. But, the kelpie - as well as her fiancé - have other, darker ideas.
  • Lord of Horses: Sorcha and the kelpie team up and head to London to deal with an impending threat to their home, whilst Lachlan deals with problems from the Unseelie realm.
  • King of Forever: Lachlan and the kelpie must work together to save Sorcha from the clutches of the Unseelie king before she belongs to him forevermore.

amazing trilogy

This trilogy was amazing. I loved that they had it available as a set rather than individuals. I loved the twists and dramatic storyline. The chemistry with the characters was exciting.

I thought the narration was well done.

bright spear triology

The story was overall good. I enjoyed the twist in it. It didn't keep me that engaged. It was hard to concentrate/ listen to the book the whole time.

Not bad at all

3.5 stars - The narrator's voice for the female characters wasn't it, and I'm not opposed to male narrators performing female voices and vice versa. I couldn't wrap my head around those. There was also background noise that was heard throughothroughout the performance.

The story itself was not all bad. Book one had me hooked! Book two lost me with the back track in character development of the FMC. Sorcha is entitled, selfish and immature. She takes no one else's feelings into consideration or the fact that she is causing unneccesary drama. Instead the MMCs continually blame themselves and I'm still trying to figure out why. She continues throwing tantrums when she doesn't get her way, which lead her to rash decisions that endanger herself and those around her.

How many times should it take before someone finally decides hey, maybe I listen to ALL of these warnings I'm being given? I don't know because Sorcha had a light bulb moment after evrrything was said and done. Book 2 honestly had me questioning who in their right mind would want to stay with someone that kept doing the exact opposite of what was necessary to survive? Book 3 felt rushed.

I hope subsequent books show growth and development for the FMC. She seems to be the only one that has absolutely no common sense.

Fairy Trilogy

I was really interested in this series, from reading the cover and reviews. Overall, it was ok, but did not really keep me engaged. Book 1 was the best. I liked the characters, and the premise of the story line. I reviewed the audiobook, so the experience may been different with the written book. The narration was good, but did not feel like it was not the best match for the work. Book 3 felt a bit rushed, and would have benefited from being flushed out further.
