War clouds are gathering. Maedun sorcerers have taken the continent, and Saesnesi raiders are pillaging the islands. But Kian has three sons. One is a prince of Skai blood, one is a wizard touched by Tyadda fire, and one is a dreamer who longs to unite the Celi against their enemies. Which will inherit the rune blade known as Kingmaker? Which will have the power to confront the Black Riders who bring darkness like a cloak to cover the land? The answer will surprise you. Just as it surprises them. Average Rating:
 Rating: - An Excellent Read"The Western King" is by far the best book in the Rune Blade trilogy. Although the first book, "Kingmaker's Sword" is also a very good book, "The Western King" definitely surpasses its prequel. Donaugh is a vivid character, and the reader's heart aches when he cannot find fulfulment. Rating: - A rare find these daysThis book was great. There was romance, but not overt sexuality, a good PLOT, and realistic characters. I loved the characters especially. I read this book in about a day, so if you buy this one, get book 2 also, otherwise you'll have to run out to get it or wait for it to be delivered. Rating: - Dark and captivatingAfter reading Kingmaker's Sword, I was actually reluctant to read the sequel, for the simple reason that I didn't think it would live up to the predecessor. Was I wrong! The Western King succeeds on many levels, though not necessarily in the same ways that Kingmaker's Sword does. The humor here is muted in exchange for a very strong sense of fate and sacrifice.

Not as good as the first one tho...I read Kingmaker's Sword about a year ago, borrowed from my stepbrother. Then at the bookstore I saw all three, so I bought them! I've now read Kingmaker's Sword twice, Western King once, and I'm almost done with Broken Blade! I am in possesion of Cloudbearer's Shadow, and hope to read it soon after I'm done with Broken Blade. By the way, I'm 14 years old, I love to read, and am currently in the middle of writing a book of my own! Well, these books are GREAT so far, and I hope they continue ...
