5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ book. A must review. 'Styx, the River' is the second installment in Nikita Gill's enchanting dark goddess series. This has been the best book I have read all year. Nikita Gill is an artist, & a genius who has brought an empowering story of sisterhood alive in poetic verse. MAGIC!

Marvin asks where the line is, in my WIP - the third book in The Future King series, Pendragon #AmWriting #WIPSnips #BookSky #KingArthur #ArthurianLiterature #YA #Fantasy #Merlln #Arthur #WritingCommunity #Editing

‘You’re going to accept, aren’t you? You wouldn’t be telling me all this if you hadn’t already decided, Arthur.’ Marvin’s grey eyes were stormy under the cerulean sky. ‘You could quit your library job and would have more time to do your homework.’ His eyebrow quirked. ‘Don’t look so surprised. I understand the appeal. I also know you’re aware of the downsides. New National will never stop offering things that are too good to refuse. A promotion, a raise, or even a university scholarship. Will you have reason enough to say no then?’ Arthur pursed his lips, knowing that every word Marvin said was true. ‘It’s been a long summer; a lot’s changed. But consider this.’ Facing him, Marvin stopped by the corner of the sports hall. ‘As time passes, and New National entangles you further, will you still know how to look for the line?’
Arthur stood rooted to the spot as Marvin set off again, his hands loosely hooked behind his back. When Marvin realised he wasn’t being followed, he turned to observe Arthur with a frown.
‘It’s your choice, Arthur. You’re seventeen now. May as well start making your own decisions and stop relying on me to tell you what to do.’
‘I don’t rely on you to tell me what to do,’ Arthur said, affronted. ‘But,’ he added with a smile, ‘I do value your opinion.’
Marvin observed him steadily. ‘Remember then, that the more you entangle yourself with New National, the harder it will be for their opposers to separate you from them. New National won’t be here forever. Not if I have anything to do with it.’
Arthur gazed after Marvin as he turned his back then continued his patrol of the school grounds, their discussion over.

Outrageous! You should be able to pass on your family's history to your children! It's 2026 and it shouldn't matter that you are a woman! That's so unfair! 😡 And what a cool a prestigeous legacy you pass on to them. A history that goes back to 1404.C.E.

Chloe’s dead gaze flashed into Arthur’s mind. ‘I should have helped more. Excuse me if I don’t see the good in cold-blooded murder.’
‘We execute people for less,’ Luther went on. ‘You tell us every boy has to wear that uniform, yet it seems to fit you pretty well.’
Wildness filled Arthur’s eyes. ‘You nearly did. Execute me. I knelt in a room where twenty-three people were shot in the head. If that woman hadn’t checked her list… you’d be scrubbing my brains off the floor.’ His teeth bared. ‘But it’s been twelve years. What do you care? You abandoned me and left me alone.’
‘I did no such thing. You had Rosaline, and you had Robert. They looked after you better than I ever could.’
‘OK, I’m sorry. I guess you left before then. You fucked off seventeen years ago when you found a bottle of scotch more interesting than your own son.’
‘I wasn’t drinking when you were born,’ Luther ground out. ‘And when I did drink, I wasn’t drinking long.’
‘You were; I remember it.’
‘What do you remember? You were five. Half of what you think you know, you were told. Can you even remember me, properly? Or do you only know me from old photographs?’
Arthur jumped to his feet. ‘You don’t get to question my reality. Not when yours is such a lie.’
Luther rose to match him. ‘I am doing what I have to for the sake of this country. What are you doing, boy?’
Luther was taller and broader than Arthur, but not as tall as Arthur remembered, because Arthur had grown, and New Morals had made him tougher, stronger. ‘More than you think.’

You have to read it. It took me right back to secondary school (High school if you are not British) The author herself described her book as Mean Girls, meets 1984 by George Orwell, meets King Arthur. And she is absolutely right. 😊

@harperac.bsky.social it really is a must read if you like dystopian fiction and arthurian mythology. I was so absorb when I was reading it I missed my bus stop twice. 😊

'The Future King Logres' by @meredithpraed.bsky.social is the best book I've read so far this year. I rated it 5⭐️ A gripping story filled with Orwellian suspense, angsty teen drama & Arthurian mythology. A must read! #booksky #review #dystopian #meangirls #georgeorwell #arthurianlegend #fiction

These are just six of the women known to both history and legend to be recorded as practitioners of magic. Beginning back as far as 25000 BCE with the Shaman Crooked Fox to about 700 BCE with Medea the Sorceress. More to come in The Ages of Magic Series #womenshistory #magic #history #artshare

Medea is a powerful Sorceress from the epic legend, The Argonautica. She is both a princess of Colchis and a priestess of the Goddess Hekate. In the legend she uses her knowledge of magical herbs and potions known as Pharmakeia, to assist Jason on his quest to claim the Golden Fleece. #mythology

Enheduanna, the first known author. Her writing was not only magical, it was influential & political. This great lady and high priestess inspired other writers who came after her, such as Homer, & even influencing the Hebrew Bible’s Old Testament. #writer #history #famouswomen #mesopotamia #pagan

The first figure in a series I am creating of famous magical practitioners from world history. Crooked Fox the Shaman. From a Paleolithic tribe, whose remains were discovered in the modern day Czech Republic. Estimated to be over 25,000 years old. #history #occult #writer #artshare #writersky #magic

We begin with the Shaman, the oldest, and possibly the very first practitioners of magic. The oldest known Shaman lived over 25000 years ago. Her bones were discovered in what is now the Czech Republic, she was given the name Crooked Fox.
