The Befallen (The Unsung and The Wolf Duology) by Cambria Williams – Review by Santana Hicks

The Befallen by Cambria Williams
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sloane was finally trusted by her family to go to the neighbouring town on her own to sell things at the market. Since she was crippled, all she ever wanted was to be considered “normal”. She loved not being on anyone else’s timeline and ended up staying the night. The next morning when Sloane returned home, everyone in her town was dead. The befallen had struck down the town in the night. Sloane immediately felt guilty for surviving. Deciding to move on in hopes of finding a life in a new town, she meets a group of knights whose sole job is finding the unsung hero of the prophecy, Sloane decides to help since she knows more about the moon goddesses and the prophecy itself.

Tolvar is a banished knight who is part of the group previously mentioned. He would rather get drunk somewhere and relax. He doesn’t think Sloane will be of any help but when she proves it by providing useful information, Tolvar gives in and lets her join the group.

I really enjoyed this book. I like how the author wrote one of the main characters as a handicapped person who doesn’t let that stop her. Sloane is strong and resilient. Tolvar is grumpy and closed off but somehow the couple makes it work for them. They work well together as an unlikely pair and I am excited to see what they do next.
