Christian Science Fiction

Have you heard about the new publisher, Marcher Lord Press (since October 2008)?  I’m glad I heard about it and have been following their progress.  They had a sale on one of their ebooks, By Darkness Hid by Jill Williamson, so I bought it.  I couldn’t believe how quickly I reached the 500th page and wanted to read more.  The 2 sequels are To Darkness Fled and From Darkness Won (releases April 1, 2011).  I’m waiting until the 3rd one is released to continue reading.

By Darkness Hid is told from two points of view, Achan Cham and Vrell Sparrow.  Achan Cham, a lowly servant and a stray, aspires to become a Kingsguard Knight.  Sir Gavan, a Kingsguard Knight, decides to train Achan, as Sir Gavan used to be a stray himself.  Achan is even more unusual because a stray usually has knowledge of one of his parents, but Achan doesn’t know who either of his parents are.

Vrell Sparrow flees and dresses as a stray boy to avoid an arranged marriage.  Vrell’s mother is in agreement and tells Vrell she can come home as soon as Prince Gidon chooses another woman.  Vrell knows how to bloodvoice, so she plans to keep in touch with her mother that way.

Bloodvoicing is a communicating with thoughts.  One of the Kingsguard Knights that is escorting Vrell uses bloodvoicing as well.  Jax, the Kingsguard that uses bloodvoicing, tells Vrell that bloodvoicing is a great power when used for good.  He also tells her to thank Arman for the gift of bloodvoicing.  Vrell knows that Arman is the only true God.  Vrell and Achan communicate by bloodvoicing before they meet.  Jax tells Vrell that he realizes there is someone who is very talented bloodvoicing, but he doesn’t know who it is (it’s Achan).  I’m going to stop the review now, so I won’t reveal too much of the plot.

I enjoyed the story and thought it was very well written.  Jill Williamson created an interesting world in this book, and I’m looking forward to continuing the series.  If you read the book, please leave a comment to share your favorite part of the story.
