Glint

Glint by Raven Kennedy plunges readers into a gripping narrative of power dynamics and personal transformation. Set against the backdrop of the Fourth Kingdom, the story begins with a young woman, fresh from her escape from an oppressive king, who finds herself ensnared once more. This time, her captor is none other than the infamous Commander Rip, a warrior whose reputation sends shivers through the hearts of many.

The Plot

As she grapples with her precarious situation, the protagonist must confront not only the formidable presence of Rip but also the ghosts of her past that threaten her survival. The looming threat of the Red Raid Pirates adds an additional layer of tension, forcing her to navigate a world rife with danger and deception.

The interplay of loyalty and betrayal is a central theme, as she begins to question her own feelings towards the commander. Are they rooted in fear, or is there something deeper at play? Kennedy masterfully weaves a tale filled with unexpected twists, keeping readers on the edge of their seats.
