Tahn

By L A Kelly

     To Tahn Dorn, youthful mercenary and member of a robber band, it is a typical night's work to kidnap Lady Netta while his companions burn down her castle and kill her family. But this is his last call; he is turning over a new leaf and this is not a kidnap but a rescue. Several years earlier Dorn killed Lady Netta's husband, but now he only wants to put all that behind him. With him is a ragtag band of young children, rescued from the hands of robber baron Samis. But how can he come to terms with his own dark past? Netta has faith in God, but Tahn has been away from the light for too long…

     This is a simple but uplifting adult fairy tale about redemption and faith. Netta has to forgive her husband's murderer, but Tahn has the even harder task to forgive himself. Set in a mediaeval world that is not from our past but perfectly recognizable, this is a compelling story of the need to love and be loved both by other people and by God. Netta has some romantic feelings for Tahn, but this is not truly a work of romance and belongs firmly in the Inspirational category. The tension is in the struggle between good and evil, and reading how the various characters grow and change (or not) is absorbing and inspiring. The characters are convincing, and although at times I thought that I could guess exactly what was going to happen to each one, I was pleased to be wrong. If you enjoy Christian fiction then this is a particularly enjoyable tale.
