The Curse of Gremdon began with a fight between the two main characters, who seemed to secretly share feelings for each other. Arianna and Tardon were both warriors who were tasked with protecting their castle. Elders ruled over the castle and its people. The setting seemed be in the medieval past, but it could be a dystopian future. It was unclear.
People lived within the walls of the castle, were extremely restricted with every aspect of their lives and sickness and famine were rampant. They were so restricted that they could not marry, could not have sexual relations without permission and could not leave the castle. Any refraction could be cause to be imprisoned or killed horribly by burning. It was a really harsh environment. The people were in constant fear of doing something wrong and of being attacked by zombie-like creatures.
The elders sent Tardon and Arianna on a quest to the outside to retrieve something that would save their castle. Once on the outside, things were not what they had appeared to be.
I liked the story-line and was pleasantly surprised by an awesome plot twist. The characters were well developed and likable. Tardon was a great warrior hero. He was strong, powerful, kind and passionate. I love how he would sacrifice everything for the woman he loved. Arianna is awesome. She is sweet, caring, family-oriented, wants to do the right things and can kick some serious butt. I liked the relationship Arianna and Tardon had with each other and how they fought side by side.
I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series.
