Divine Prey (Noramgaell Saga Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Chris Andrews (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 16 ratings
For thousands of years the Gods have been fighting to outwit each other in the ultimate war for supremacy. Only two Gods remain in the contest; the God of War and the Goddess of Healing. The stakes are high. The prize is the universe itself. The winner will be decided by pitting two empires against each other, each led by a single Champion. The gamble sets an immortal warlord with vast armies against an untried young princess... and an empire she is destined to create. Called to Divine Service by the Goddess of Healing, Princess Caroline defies the offer in the mistaken belief she is being punished, and in doing marks she herself as a target for the other Gods. Spoiled and entitled, her defiance sees the God of War's hunters seeking her death before she can even begin her destiny. Worse, Caroline's Gods-granted destiny comes with a heavy price - she cannot ascend the throne unless her father and siblings are dead. As the Gods play their games and the stakes rise, Caroline is forced to rely on the trust she places in her friends, and the curse that's slowly destroying her humanity. She doesn't yet realise the final battle has already began and she's not just fighting for a world, but herself and everyone she cares about. To succeed, she will have to outwit her family, her enemies and even the Gods.

Divine Prey is a new epic fantasy series filled with action, adventure, hope and magic. It's perfect for fans of Raymond E Feist, Anne McCaffrey, J. K. Rowling, Rick Riordan, and more.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"If you are a connoisseur of fantasy books, you'll definitely want to read this one." Janet Morrison.

"A complex roller-coaster adventure that keeps the pages turning. I eagerly await the next in the saga." Paula Boer

"Combining both traditional and original fantasy elements, Divine Prey is a well-written story that gets darker at every turn." C Skiera

"Divine Prey combines all of the essential items necessary for a great fantasy novel. There are werewolves and faeries. Murder and mystery. Princess Caroline is sent on a journey that she didn't ask for, trying to get back home, but will she be able to stay at home, once she gets there? I truly enjoyed reading Divine Prey, and I anxiously await the next book in this series to be released." Mindy W - NetGalley review.

"This was a refreshingly different fantasy novel. On the surface it followed the tropes of classic epic fantasy but enough subtle little twists were added to make it unusual. Caroline is not your typical chosen one, she (quite reasonably) fears her own power - as a werewolf princess it's not a pretty or especially manageable gift. A really good fantasy debut." Jules I - NetGalley review.

From the Author

Divine Prey began as a dream born of enthusiasm to write the kind of epic story that inspired me.

I honestly hope you enjoy Divine Prey, and follow Caroline as she comes to terms with who she is, what she's becoming, and what really matters.

    **** SPOILER ALERT ****
    "Divine Prey: Prophecy Of Power" the inaugural volume in the Noramgaell Saga.
    Andrews does a fantastic job of world building and character development.
    This tale is full of twists and turns, lightness and darkness as we follow Princess Caroline as she tries to get home.
    As well as the aftermath when she does get home.
    I look forward to the next volume in this saga and I recommend this roller coaster of a book.
    In the interest of transparency: I was given a review copy of this book and I am voluntarily sharing this review.
    It is my own honest opinion.

    I stepped way out of my comfort zone to read this debut novel by Chris Andrews. Fantasy novels aren’t my go-to reading preference; however, I found myself getting interested in this epic tale about a princess who is being hunted down by the faspane. The story takes a definite turn for the worse when Princes Caroline is attacked by a werewolf. Healing stones come into play, but can she be saved?

    Divine Prey is well-written and well-paced. The descriptions are vivid and Mr. Andrews shows how adept he is at weaving body language into the plot. Even if you aren’t a fan of the fantasy genre, you might want to give this book a chance. If you are a connoisseur of fantasy books, you’ll definitely want to read this one. It is Book One in Mr. Andrews’ Noramgaell Saga, so you’ll want to get in on the beginning of this intriguing story.

    Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2018
    Divine Prey by Chris Andrews is a fantasy of epic proportions, entwining mortals and immortals alike. With the fate of the world hanging in the balance, a diverse cast of characters are forced together not only to survive, but to fulfill the will of the Higher Realms. Combining both traditional and original fantasy elements, Divine Prey is a well-written story that gets darker at every turn, while still clinging to a ray of hope. I look forward to future installments.

    3.0 out of 5 stars It has all the elements and moves along at a good pace, but it wasn't quite my cup of tea.
    Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2018

    Divine Prey is a classic fantasy novel with kings and queens, giants and elves, werewolves and dragons and a war between the gods. There is plenty of magic as well as sword fights, axe fights and archery. In short it has all the elements of a good story.

    Although the story rumbled along at a nice clip there were some aspects that I thought should have been better explained. Why were the gods fighting with each other and more to the point why was the goddess of healing fighting with the paladin of war? What was the purpose of having Caroline have a baby when it played no purpose in the story. Why was she chosen as a champion when she clearly didn’t want the role and she wanted to die at every turn. The gods were happy to replace her anyway. I also could not work out what the entire journey to Fandelyon castle was about. They knew that taking Caroline there was putting the royal family at risk and from the moment they arrived, they needed to leave. They did not even need to obtain anything to further the quest so why go there in the first place. There was also the aspect that the faspane had to kill themselves or forfeit the right to reincarnate. I couldn’t understand this nor their so-called honour which seemed to hinder their purpose of killing the champion.

    As for the characters, both Kimbriel and Sellendria failed to get enough page time to be understandable. We knew they were royalty with magic, but their role in the story and world seemed unclear. Given their power, why wouldn’t the gods choose them as champions rather than Caroline and the other one, who we barely got to meet? I also had difficulty liking the other characters. The two elves had magic but they never used it in a clever or helpful way. The giant was likable but I couldn’t understand why he would risk his life to help Caroline when she hadn’t even committed to the fight. Kristy seemed to be a dead weight who did not contribute much. Caroline, being a werewolf, was difficult to like and then despicable when she slaughtered an entire village for petty revenge. It wasn’t as if her actions even removed the faspane threat so what was the point of the carnage.

    The epilogue was difficult to understand and seemed to imply the story would not be picking up where we left off at the end of this one. This left me feeling unsatisfied with the ending and wondering why I’d bothered to invest in the characters. Overall, a disappointing read when the author had clear spent a great deal of time building a world which includes magical immortal characters.

    Fun high fantasy adventure with some unexpected turns and surprisingly grueling stakes - heroine-princess Caroline goes through a lot (and dishes it out too). The story moves from one desperate threat to the next with abandon, not slowing down to count the bodies. I look forward to the next installment.

    I truly enjoyed reading Divine Prey, it is a long book but it moves along at a fast past. I found myself engrossed in Princess Caroline's harrowing experiences as she comes to terms with what she has become and what her destiny appears to be. I am now anxiously awaiting the sequel to this story.

    Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2018
    I just finished reading "Divine Prey" by Chris Andrews. I really enjoyed that the book moved along nicely and didn't get bogged down in minutiae. The main heroine, Caroline, is a princess turned werewolf and champion to a goddess embroiled in an age old conflict between the gods. I really enjoyed several of the twists the story takes. The central characters; Kirsty, Elias, Dobbin and Allyn are all well fleshed out and come alive in the narrative. Furthermore, the friendly banter and insults slung between two of the characters made me look forward to what comes next between them. I definitely enjoyed the book and look forward to the upcoming sequels. I can definitely recommend it.

    Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2018
    Chris Andrews is to fantasy what Matthew Reilly is to thrillers. His characters leap from crisis to crisis with ever more imagination. Throw in a war between the gods, a murdered unicorn, pet dragons, giants, snake people, plus good and evil elves and magicians, and there is a cast worthy of Tolkien. The heroine, a werewolf princess, fights to defy the gods and the destiny they have created for her over millennia. With an odd assortment of companions, she must find her inner strength and overcome her disbelief of magic in order to discover what she really wants in life. A complex roller-coaster adventure that keeps the pages turning. I eagerly await the next in the saga.
