A reluctant heir. An insidious power. What is privilege when his own magic threatens to take him under?

Meran Durante is distraught. An unwilling heir to a bitter and critical father, the young Durante now fears he is also the beneficiary of the oft anticipated, seldom true, seer-sight that has flickered through his mother’s family for centuries.

Nightly, a single tragic spectre fills his dreams, driving him to the edge of sanity, until one fateful night his plight is discovered. Acceding to his friend’s unconventional distraction from his woes, Meran finds fleeting relief sheltered within the unique magic forged from the unexpected liaison.

But realising his own agency is in peril, he searches out an alternative solution to fend off the dreamland’s insidious call before his mind is shattered forever.

When his friend goes missing, can Meran wrest control of his magic before it is too late to save either of them?

Meran’s Reproach is the tempestuous second book in the Legend of the Ancients – Books of Locurnia Fantasy series. If you like emotionally charged fantasy, tortured heroes and magical awakenings mixed with high heat, then you’ll love Deonne Dane’s tale of one young man coming into his legacy.

Born in New Zealand, Deonne grew up on a diet of genie’s and witches and space adventure. Not vampires, they were too scary. Back in that day they didn’t sparkle. She scribbled her version of fanfic in exercise books, on lined refill and coloured notepaper. And then she discovered epic fantasy; Eddings, Kerr, Donaldson & Brooks and felt she had come home. Later, as happens with most people, she let herself be diverted by the mundanity of adulthood; marriage, widowhood, remarriage, children, separation and even lived through the Christchurch earthquakes, until she remembered the thing she was missing. Thus began her journey into the world of Locurnia. With family in the queer community and her developing passion for all things MM she decided to marry these two loves together.

I had no problem reading this in one sitting. Wonderfully well-written with top-notch world building and an engaging storyline, Meran's story is a great addition to the Books of Locurnia series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Another captivating story from Locurnia!
Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2020
While I don't think this book was as action-packed as the first in this series, Meran's journey was no less captivating. Because most of Meran's struggles were in his own mind, I felt strongly connected to him as a character. This author really drew me into Meran's life, showed me what kind of person he was around friends and family, and gave me a first-hand look at his desperate desire to escape the visions that plagued him during sleep. Meran's attempts to free himself from his nightmares got him into more and more trouble as the book progressed, and I loved the buildup. His sexual experiments with Ellom were incredibly sensual, and I constantly had to squash my inner romantic that insisted this story would turn into something I knew it wouldn't. After ramping up my anticipation for so long, it was really exciting to see how Meran finally managed to embrace his calling and use it to save his friend. While this book's storyline came to a satisfying conclusion, that epilogue has me so stoked to see when Meran and Falric's paths will collide!

**I voluntarily read an ARC of this book. This review expresses my honest thoughts and opinions.

4.0 out of 5 stars enjoyable
Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2020
I love a good magical fantasy story. I honestly struggled with this one, I had a hard time with the beginning, just struggled to get into it. Once I got into it, I enjoyed it. I disliked Meran’s father! The world building was awesome as with the first story in the same universe. I am voluntarily leaving a review form an advanced copy that I received. My reviews are solely based on my thoughts and opinions.

This fantastic, fascinating, slow burning, grab-you-by-the-feels, emotionally charged, fast paced, amazing, raw, unconventional, and totally awesome story pulled me in from the very first page, and I can't wait to see what happens next with this new-to-me author.

I loved this book!

The style of writing, vivid descriptions and excellent characterization made for an immersive and satisfying read.

I would have loved to have spent more time with each and every one of the characters in the world Deonne has created, and I'm looking forward to seeing where the series goes next.

Highly recommended!

Meran is fatigued as his sleep is plagued with the same vision he's had for years, the one in which his older brother Beorn was killed in battle. He has been unable to progress with his training as a seer. He is now the heir to his father Duran's Durante, Lord Marshal and his father does not approve of Meran's lifestyle.
I enjoyed the story and there are alot of twists and turns throughout so you can't guess how everything will turn out this is book two in an ongoing series .
