Devotion and the Devil

Written by: Mark Montgomery

Submitted By: Rachel Bell

The second chronicle of three to date ... and as with Three Hills, the reader is taken on an adventurous journey through the adult life of John Brownfield, a Sixteenth Century Borderer. Beautifully written, Mark Montgomery pens action, tragedy and intrigue as exquisitely as he pens lust, devotion and romance. The reader is drawn in to the tale immediately and almost without realising; the descriptions so well recorded as to create a full sensory vision. The characters within become like old friends, or indeed enemies, and with no effort at all become wholly identifiable beyond the pages of text. Chapter XXIII is especially superb … my recommendation and naïve writings cannot do it justice!! The tale leaves with an extremely intriguing cliff hanger thus leaving the reader wanting more, much more.
