Title: The Baby and the Battlefield
Author: CarolinaC
Genre: Fantasy/Adventure
Summary: A baby? On a battlefield?
Marcus is a clerk in the Imperial army. When he finds an abandoned baby on a battlefield, he has no idea what to do with her. His best friend is no help; he thinks Marcus is a sucker for taking the kid in. The slave who ends up babysitting the child is no better; she thinks Marcus has ulterior motives - bad ones. Not only that, but two mysterious female assassins appear on the scene. Whether they intend to harm the baby or protect her, Marcus isn't sure. It doesn't help that the assassins have magical cloaks that allow them to turn into birds at any time. Marcus and his friends soon find themselves caught up in things they doesn't understand: the child has some connection to an ancient prophecy, one that could have implications for fate of the Empire itself.
My view:
I was more than a little dubious when I saw the title of the story - and then further so when I read the summary. It sounded more than a little strange - a baby and a battle field... but that's not where it ends of course, because, if you've taken the time to read this summary, you'll have realised that there is much more fascinating items involved with this story other than the basic's of war.
I found myself becoming a little biased when I read that the story was inspired by a dream. A big fan of turning my own dreams into stories, I instantly found myself warming a little more to the story knowing that it truly did come from inspiration.
Very gory and nitty-gritty, reading this story had me thinking about Saving Private Ryan - one of my favourite movies in the whole wide world. It broke my heart watching this movie but I loved it so much, I couldn't stop myself from watching it not just once, or twice, but well over thirty times by now. So instantly, I found myself beginning to love the story.
Well written with truthful, mind-boggling descriptions, I genuinely found myself enjoying reading this - and the action, magic... and of course the baby, simply added to this amazing story that I reccomend others check out.
Out of ten? Eight.
