GoulCrest
GoulCrest: Book 1 of the Vestovian Trilogy | Alicia Jeanne
1 post | 1 read
A dragon’s scale, a tile from the abandoned temple, an arrow from the Rakaron Kingdom, a writ of a noble, and a flower from the Field of Death. These are the items the king demands of competitors in the GoulCrest Games, and its victors will be awarded a prize most Vestovians can only dream of: lordship.
For Pria, exiled from her traditionalist family of nomadic warriors, the GoulCrest Games are a chance to prove she is the best fighter Rancor Clan has ever produced. For Tayla, a starving peasant girl, they are a chance to find the safety and comfort she was denied in childhood. For Ranto, a rebel-scholar cast out of the dwarven Undergrounds, they are a chance to honor the memory of his beloved. And for Jaze, a half-Rakaron wanderer, they are a chance to finally find acceptance.
Though their bond begins shakily and is riddled with mistrust, these four black sheep of their respective communities eventually tighten into a found family prepared to face the perils of the Games—and, eventually, of GoulCrest itself.

For those who love a good adventure quest, this book is for you! I read this book in one sitting as it drew me in. I enjoyed getting to know the characters as they struggled and how the unlikely group banded together. It is a first in series so it does leave you wondering about some of the loose ends. I look forward to the next book in the series.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
