If you like a strong female lead, fantasy, adventure, romance and action, I hope you will enjoy Seal of the King.
Excerpt
Matilda gave her a quick hug, then turned to David “Let me look at you,” she said as she gave him a quick look up and down. “You are a nice looking young man, but if I know Aurora, you must be very stubborn too.”
“I don’t know about that, but it’s a pleasure to meet you. I’m David.”
“Oh dear, it’s delightful to meet you too. Young Aurora here has been our guest many times, and she has helped us out on a few occasions. I’m terribly fond of her, and so glad she has finally met a man that she didn’t want to knock his front teeth out. You do have all your teeth still?”
“So far I have managed to avoid having her knock out my teeth.” Then he said in a quiet voice leaning in so Matilda and Aurora could hear “But I always have my guard up because you never know. She might just want to show me who’s in charge.” Then he gave her a sly grin.
Aurora hit him on the arm and Matilda laughed, “Oh dear, you may have met your match, Aurora.” Matilda said, chuckling. “He’s the first man I’ve met who wasn’t afraid of you”
The battle between dark and light rages and the world is on the cusp of a tipping point. Will an age of darkness befall mankind or will the light prevail?

This review is from: Seal of the King (Kindle Edition)
Ralph Smith is a gifted story teller with a good talent at writing narrative. Seal of the King mixes alternate worlds, romance, time travel and faith, a good mix if pulled off well. I thought Ralph Smith did a wonderful job of introducing the characters at the beginning. I was especially impressed with the introductions of the characters. Usually I find it a cheap trick when a writer bounces back and forth in a chapter showing two characters. Smith made it work, fit. Quickly the reader gets a clear picture of who the characters are, and what their relationship is to each other.
The relationship between the two main characters, Aurora and David, makes up the centrifugal force of the plot. Aurora and David come to each other in visions beginning in childhood. Believing each other to be imaginary friends, the visions becomes less serious to themselves as they grow older, but no less intense. That is until something opens up between their worlds. Aurora comes from a world of never ending war, primitive. David is in the modern world, but keeps to himself on his farm.
This sets up what I thought was a great story that covers themes of love, honor and reality. David's world is shaken by Aurora's appearance, and he has to decide to make a stand with the woman of his dreams, who happens to be a tough warrior.
