About this ebook

Devious Intentions is the first book in the Secrets and Guardians trilogy. A sweeping, fast paced, fantasy adventure packed with clever twists and turns. Epic story telling that fills the crossover between young adult and traditional fantasy fiction (Book 1 of 3).

  

‘Some consider me a wise woman, others a witch. Kerdred does not terrify me. I am his nightmare. He made the mistake of harming my family and forcing my great granddaughter into marriage. But, if you think I have vengeance issues, then you should meet Shade’.

 

How do you defeat a man with no moral compass? When those of myth and legend have their own separate agenda, good intentions are not enough.

 The Kingdom of Daranel is under threat. Kerdred and his brothers, Hawke and Tremlin have already taken Korin. Aberrling, the advisor to King Hylaw, knows Daranel is next. Aberrling has plans, back up plans, contingency plans and if all else fails plans. Having been told Kerdred will invade and that if they tried to defend Daranel they would lose, King Hylaw agrees to follow Aberrling’s plan; well at least the one he was told about.

 

Ordinary people are put into extraordinary situations as their world is turned upside down. Plots, counter plots, deceit and vengeance all have their part to play.

 

Ratings and reviews

4.5 stars Thoroughly enjoyed the story. The characters were very diverse and each one of unique and stood out in its own way. The plot had far too many layers and every layer brought new facets and discoveries. The twists and the turns were there till the very end. The story does not end with the book, but continues into the second book. But the book, its characters and the way the two were woven together was thrilling and kept me guessing till the very end.

I have never read a beautiful book like this one. it's fantastic read. I love how all elements of different characters are synchronised. It's worth a read. I lost myself in this book it is unpredictable

Great read! Twists, turns, humour it's got it all. Loved the characters can't wait to read book 2

About the author

Born in 1961, Helen Chambers grew up in the North East of England. Her love of books started early with bedtime stories read by her father, but it was as a teenager that her passion for fantasy fiction truly took hold after reading The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, by Stephen Donaldson. Over the years Helen has made a hobby of writing original plays and pantomimes for schools and her local drama group. She delighted in creating ‘off the cuff’ tales of adventure involving her own children and their friends. This gift for story telling led to her writing the ‘Secrets and Guardians’ trilogy. The series was originally aimed at teen/young adult but is now being enjoyed by a much wider readership.
