Good times are here again!! its Giveaway time. Get your reading glasses on and sit down to enjoy a fantastic book. I received part 1 and part 2 of Promised Valley Rebellion and Promised Valley War in a 4 part series.
The setting for the novel is what captivated me and held me in my place for hours. The setting is in a fertile prehistoric river valley inhabited by farmers who believe the land was given to them from their gods, in return they offered obedience and good behaviour.
Their Enemies were hunters who roamed the hills and territories beyond the mountains. They too believe that this beautiful fertile land was theirs given to them from their gods, their in lies the title of this book Promised Valley.
Its a passionate struggle between opposing forces filled with love, rebellion, honour and pain. The book takes us way back to a time in life when boundaries and borders had yet to be defined. As I am reading this book it kind of reminds me of some of the similarities of the life we still live today. We are still passionately fighting over land, oil, people, love, rights, money and the list goes on. This for me is what I find incredible and compelling. The forces that were shaping our boundaries and destinations in prehistoric times have yet to be settled today.
In part 1 of this series the story without giving you too much information is about the farmers king refusing to allow his up and coming prince to marry the daughter of the the farmer who had saved his life in the last war with the hunters. We see power struggles from here with the farmers, the hunters and the kings men. We also get to follow a young farmer who crosses over the border and falls in love with a hunter. He becomes enlightened and refuses to kill, puts down his arrow and follows his adversary instead, committing treason. The peoples of this time and age have no problems with men who go with men and women who fall in love with women its that these 2 are mortal enemies... to be continued when you read your own copy of this book.
My only suggestion about the book is to pay special attention to the characters and learn them as much as you can so you can keep track. It does fall in place as you go but there's quite a few characters you need to know and the names can confuse you if you don't.

I find it absolutely incredible the way life is today compared to life back then. Yes of course we live in a different time with our houses, money and difficulties but yet we are still fighting the same issues.
I am not going to give you much more information as I will give you too much and really want you to get your own hands on a copy of this wonderful book.
I am on my second read of the book again as I enjoyed it that much. If your like me you get even more out of a book the second time through.
Now onto my giveaway for you wonderful readers.

Thanks for the giveaway!
Thank you very much for this review. You got what my books are all about. We're still fighting over the same things our ancestors fought over six or ten thousand years ago. When will we learn? Now? Please grant me permission to quote and properly cite this review whenever and wherever I can.
Good Morning Ron!!
Yes please do use my review wherever and whenever you wish. I much prefer you do.
Great book and reading.
When will we learn? I'm really think well after my time unfortunately :(
I guess life without drama would be rather boring as well lol :)
Well-said, Kevin.
