Hawk by Marie Powell




Genre: Young Adult Historical Fantasy

Published: August 1st, 2015

Published by Five Rivers Publishing


Hyw yearns to join his father in serving the charismatic Llywelyn, Prince of Wales. If only Hyw dared tell anyone of his ability to scout through the eyes of a hawk, it might help secure his place in the royal guard. Cat, his sister, longs to inherit the magical ability that runs through her mother’s line. If only she could see her future, now that she is 13 and promised to a boy she barely remembers.

When a messenger summons the prince to a secret meeting, Cat and Hwy find themselves in the middle of a war that threatens to destroy all of Wales. Can they master their special abilities in time to save the royal family—and themselves?

Set among the actual events and personages of late 13th century Wales, Marie Powell has constructed a fantasy novel that recreates what life might have been like for two teenagers coming of age.

This is a young adult historical fantasy and my first book from Marie.
While I am not big on history I did find myself unable to put the book down. Cat and Hwk have cool special powers. 
It's a good read.
