About The Book
A fledgling seer. A cataclysmic vision. Can he convince the fated warrior to stand between their people and impending doom?
Meran Durante is on a knife’s edge. Tormented by the visions of Locurnia burning, and the horrific fate of Patrice, his beloved sister, Meran confronts the one man destined to stop the slaughter. Yet facing the fascinating, but ruthless, Leon Ricci, a perilous attraction sparking between them morphs to dangerous contention, bringing all Meran’s plans crashing down.
Fear laces Lord Marshal Leon Ricci’s rage. His rising interest for the handsome Durante withers at the youth’s blatant attempt to suborn him with knowledge no man should possess. Secrets that would leave his clan, and all he cares for, in jeopardy.
With time running short before Lord Ricci returns to his stronghold, Meran fears he’ll be unable to alter the magnetic man’s misconceptions before the future’s deadly events overwhelm them all.
Can Meran bring the implacable Ricci to heel or will his mistake force Leon to reject taking that first step on the quest destined to save their world?
Seer Quest: Covenant is the action-packed third book in the LGBTQ Legend of the Ancients, Books of Locurnia Fantasy series. If you like epic quests, fantasy laced with high heat romance, and clashing protagonists then you’ll love Deonne Dane’s magic-filled adventure.
The Review
Meran has finally become a seer, and his visions are horrible. Locurnia will be destroyed, his sisters dead, and the only hope is if he finds the Anigema, the gem now residing with the Draca. His quest will require the help of Lord Marshall – Leon Ricci, also known as the Mavish.
Leon is a warrior, and a champion at each tournament he enters. He is brutal, huge and scary, but without his sword, Meran has no chance of success. His first meeting with Leon doesn’t go well, but his second encounter proves successful. Meran is searching for a blue stone, while Leon believes the quest is for a white stone called Amplion. Meran cannot allow Leon to know which stone they are seeking, for fear of losing his help.
The quest is full of danger, and failure will result in carnage and death. They must enter the territory of the Draca, who are not known to be welcoming of strangers. Meran has taken the name of Zachary the Fisher and disguised himself to hide who he really is.
The quest will take them by sea and through the desert, with danger always present. They travel by night to keep themselves as hidden as possible, and are always searching for a safe place to camp. Meran is very attracted to Leon, but Leon is unwilling to pursue anything with Meran, for fear of letting his guard down.
Leon doesn’t trust Meran, but the idea of finding the Amplion is the only thing he is interested in. He has no faith in Meran’s claims to be a seer. Unfortunately, trouble comes in unexpected ways, with a major storm separating Leon and Meran from each other and their provisions and horses. Wild dogs and deadly spiders add to the already hazardous journey.
While trying to stay alive to complete their quest, Leon and Meran begin to have feelings for each other, feelings that are new to Leon, who always keeps a tight rein on his emotions.
The story does not answer all the questions that have been raised, starting with book one. Hopefully book four will not be a long wait.
Seer Quest Covenant is filled with secrets, lies, suspense, surprises, sex, violence and wonderful characters. I can’t wait to continue the story of Leon, Meran and Falric – hopefully all my questions will finally be answered.
Four stars.
