The Sigils of the Moor
Book 2 of the Runetree Chronicles
by Brendan Corbett

Aeda’s journey continues in this second installment of the Runetree Chronicles. Set loose from her shadowy past and embracing her newly found freedom, she follows the Historian Gieral across the Known Lands in pursuit of the reason behind the disappearance of Historians.

From the bitter cold of the Moor to the mystical, overgrown Bog, they must overcome dangers unlike Aeda had ever imagined. All the while, she is faced with the ever-growing challenge of finding her place in the world, caught between duty and her own desires.

Will they find the cause of the missing Historians? Join Aeda and Gieral as they strive to uncover a conspiracy that threatens to undo the fabric of history.

5 out of 5 fairies

From an interesting opening to heart-racing moments, interesting peeks into history, and a dangerous conspiracy, this second installment will have you captivated. I was happy to rejoin Aeda and Gieral, and explore more of their world. The exceptional world and magic system building once again shine through, and we get to see new places and meet new characters. I felt like I was right there next to Aeda, and there were more than a few moments that had me holding my breath. There’s just something about Aeda that makes me feel close to her, and I can’t quite put my finger on what, but the feeling is even stronger having spent a second book with her. No spoilers, but I really loved the opening chapters, and how Aeda found what was essentially a giant loving family. The story overall moves at a really smooth pace, and even the little “quiet” moments are pulling you forward, and you’ll find it hard to be bored while reading. However, I am a little sad that I have to wait longer for book three!
