Publisher's summary

When Zara awoke to find Valerius, leader of the legendary Gilded Knights, towering over her, she thought she'd gone mad.

She was the Fury, mistress of claw and flame—armies trembled at her name! Now she lay chained and broken, a prisoner in her own home.

But that wasn't why she thought herself mad.

Only yesterday, she remembered a different life. She remembered her nephew in the local arcade, struggling to beat the villainous Zara the Fury in Knights of Eternity. She remembered her uncle and his big booming laugh...

…and she remembered the gun that changed everything.

Stunning start, I can't wait for the next one!

Rachel Nī Chuirc is an incredible story teller, every moment was detailed and kept me enthralled. The story was fast paced, but I felt I truly got to know the characters deeply as well. I can't think of a more perfect narrator for this fantastic book, Andrea Parsneau as always delivered a stellar performance. I can't wait for book 2!!!

Interesting

I am not a fan of the powerlessness of the mc, or the switching between characters pov especially near the end. Gets put in an OP character, but basically removes half her powers because author wants to nerf her. Add her crippling fear.

Absolutely amazing from start to finish

The pacing of the story was amazing! You really start to fall in love with the characters! The only thing I didn’t like was how short it was and how long I have to wait for more.

Awesome first entry!

An internet story and a creative world with mysteries to unravel. MC shows growth through past trauma and struggles. Amazing narration!

Anxiety

I liked the book and the writing I just hope that MC gets over her anxiety over time because I don't know if I can handle anther book where the MC has that much anxiety. It gives me anxiety.

Simply amazing

What a beautifully told story, I'm only about 20 chapters into it. but so far it has been amazing, the characters are interesting in the story is engaging. I cried within the first three chapters. Such a great way to tell a story, reading it feels like I'm watching an anime. I was very skeptical at first but I'm very glad that I bought this book!

A must-read for fans of fantasy, adventure, and philosophical explorations of the human condition

Dear reader, I must confess that the pages of Calamity have held me enthralled, transporting me to realms both familiar and unknown. This captivating narrative, penned by the ingenious Rachel Ní Chuirc, is a masterful exploration of the human condition, delving into the very fabric of reality and identity.

Miss Zara, the protagonist, finds herself ensnared in a labyrinthine tale of dual existences, torn asunder by the conflicting demands of her warrior persona, the Fury, and her humble life in the modern world. The author's skillful hand weaves a tapestry of intrigue, as our heroine navigates the treacherous landscapes of her own mind, confronting the shadows of her past and the uncertainty of her future.

Throughout this gripping tale, the characters are drawn with precision and depth, their motivations and desires expertly crafted to propel the story forward with a sense of urgency and purpose. The world-building is nothing short of remarkable, transporting the reader to realms both fantastical and grounded in the mundane.

In conclusion, dear reader, if you are prepared to embark on a journey that will challenge your perceptions and stir your imagination, then "Calamity, Knights of Eternity" is a tale that will undoubtedly captivate and unsettle you. Approach with caution, for the boundaries of reality are about to be stretched to their very limits.
