Three months after her fateful trip through the vortex, Marisa MacCallum is struggling to cope with the responsibilities of being a royal. And with only a few weeks left before her coronation, she starts to have doubts about her engagement to the handsome Prince Darian Fiore.

But when palace spies uncover a secret plot to assassinate members of the royal family and annihilate the Crimson Knights, Marisa and Darian must put their future plans on hold to prevent Savino da Rocha and his legion of warrior giants from stealing the throne.

After narrowly escaping an attempt on her life, she is forced to defend the stronghold of Crocetta while Darian marches to war. But when Savino strikes at the heart of the kingdom with supernatural powers of darkness, Marisa becomes trapped in a spiritual battle with the potential to destroy her family and end the Fiore dynasty forever.

Excellent story - lots of intrigue

I read the first book in this series and liked it. I had some trouble with it because it reminded me of another series I'd just completed and it threw me off a bit. However, the ending on that one was pretty surprising and really enjoyable.
This brings me to The Carnelian Tyranny. I bought the book soon after it came out, but put off reading it because of the niggle in the back of my head reminding me about that other series (a favorite of mine). However, I shouldn't have wasted my time putting off this book. Admittedly, it started out with lots of mushy stuff (not really my thing), but around Chapter 4 or 5, this thing took off and I was on a ride that held my attention (and often my breath) until the end.
The book takes place in Carnelia, a kingdom in a dimension that parallels modern-day Earth. It is a land of knights and kings, queens and princesses. In this book, the heroine Marissa and her fiance Prince Darian through the fight of their lives, for themselves and for the kingdom of Carnelia. They and the rest of the royal family are marked for assassination by a cousin who desires the throne and tyrannical rule of the kingdom.
The story parallels many elements of Christ's story with the Royal Family playing the role of the Disciples. For a Christian, the story is a reassurance of a belief system and its reliance on the Trinity. That said, the story itself will not overwhelm a non-Christian or make her/him feel "preached at".
Overall, this is a well-written adventure story with spies, murders, gripping action, love, despair, and surprises (that ending - whatever will Mark do now?) that will hold your attention until you reach then end and realize Ms. Koevoet is still writing the third installment. How long will I have to wait for that one?

Saved the best for last

I've had this book for months now and couldn't read it yet till now! And I'm glad to say I saved the best for last! I've been with the Carnelian Legacy since the beginning and the second book was no disappointment at all! If you're into knights, kings and queens, sorcerers and some science then you'll love this series! It has romance, some actions, yes there are barbaric scenes but given the era in which the story takes place, it's suitable. Can't wait for the 3rd book and to see Queen Marsha (marissa) and Prince Darian married!!!

A Thrilling and Enthralling Sequel!

28 May 2015 - Published on Amazon.com

"The Tyranny Carnelian" a blend of faith, fantasy and romance begins with Marisa MacCallum's preparation for her coronation only weeks away, and her continual dodging of setting a date for her marriage to Prince Darian Fiore. As tension mounts between these two, news of a secret plot to assassinate the royal family creates a scare that has Marisa fleeing to Castle Beauriél with her brother Mark and her Uncle Al while Darian looks after affairs of state in Crocette.

When Savino's giant warriors attack the Marisa's castle, capturing her uncle and brother, Prince Darian takes his Crimson Knights to free them from Abbadon only to discover a ruse that leaves his army decimated and Savino da Roche achieving the fruit of his ambition after attacking the citadel in Crocette.

Cheryl Koevoet sets the stage for this exciting and gripping plot three months after Marisa MacCallum, distraught after the death of her father is swept up in a vortex and left unconscious on a road in another dimension. After being discovered by Ambassador Darian Fiore and his friend Arrie Macario who are on a peace mission to Abbadon Marisa is thrown into a series of events that lead her on a journey of self-discovery as she falls in love and learns that she is the royal heir to the Carnelian throne. In this sequel there are twists and turns that keep the reader guessing as threads of the plot not only follow the outcome of Darian's war against Abbadon, but Marisa's battle against supernatural forces that threaten her family and kingdom. The plot is fast-paced and well-developed with a theme of hope, forgiveness, love and trust in a fantasy mixed with biblical nuances. As the suspense and violence escalates she cleverly breaks the intensity with dashes of humor until the surprising ending that provides clues to the framework of her third novel.

The characters with all their flaws, faults and strengths mature in complexity in this plot. Maraya Fiore (aka Marisa MacCallum) is naturally insecure about marriage at eighteen years of age after being flung into a world where people marry young. With the weight of responsibility of Carnelia on her shoulders she's wise enough to lean on Prince Darian and her counsellors for advice, although finds him overly protective and controlling at times. As events unfold Marisa's faith and vision for her future grow stronger as she struggles against the dark supernatural powers that want to destroy her. In bold exploits she demonstrates her love, loyalty and daring as well as a compassionate and forgiving heart. Prince Darian Fiore is domineering at first having years of experience ruling as well as wanting to protect Marisa. But it's his loving, steadfast heart and selfless actions that endear him to the reader.

Of the other personalities who add to the power, passion and drama, Cavaliere Bruno Nestore a War Counselor is a shameless flirt and skilled warrior who's smitten with the strong-willed Matilda da Roche. Eman is the kind, compassionate shepherd who wants to deliver his people and bring them back to the way of Garon, the antithesis of Count Savino Da Roche a despot who's cruel, arrogant and ruthless; his mind and body ruled by evil spirits.

I thoroughly enjoyed "The Tyranny Carnelian" with its messages of faith and the power of prayer ingrained in a story that keeps your enthralled from the first page to the last.
