I'm always a little in awe of the worlds that writers create and I think, in my opinion, because fantasy can, literally, be anything at all, I get a lot of pleasure from reading that genre. I enjoy reading well written fantasy so when I heard about 'Brute' by Kim Fielding, an author I already like, it was a no-brainer for me to want to read it. But Brute also learns heroes sometimes face difficult choices and that doing what is right can bring danger of its own. And he dreams of people’s deaths-dreams that come true.Īs Brute becomes accustomed to palace life and gets to know Gray, he discovers his own worth, first as a friend and a man and then as a lover. What is certain is that he has spent years in misery: blind, chained, and rendered nearly mute by an extreme stutter. Rumors say the prisoner, Gray Leynham, is a witch and a traitor. It sounds easy but turns out to be the challenge of his life. He is summoned to serve at the palace in Tellomer as a guard for a single prisoner. But heroes come in all shapes and sizes, and when he is maimed while rescuing a prince, Brute’s life changes abruptly. No one, including Brute, expects him to be more than a laborer. He is seven and a half feet of ugly, and of disreputable descent. Brute leads a lonely life in a world where magic is commonplace.
