War of Destiny 1: Lost Soul by Theresa Van Spankeren

War of Destiny 1: Lost Soul by Theresa Van Spankeren transports readers to the 15th century, following Juliana, a spirited young woman navigating the restrictive societal norms of London’s elite. The novel immediately grips readers with its historical setting and complex family dynamics. Juliana's struggle between familial duty and personal desire forms the emotional core of the story. Her burgeoning relationship with Adam, a servant, and the pressures from her family to marry a wealthy suitor introduce a compelling conflict of class and love.

Van Spankeren creates a vivid portrayal of medieval life, detailing the class disparities that shape Juliana’s fate. The narrative is filled with emotional tension as Juliana tries to balance her love for Adam with the harsh realities imposed by her family. The novel effectively depicts the societal constraints of the era, emphasizing the roles of women and the limitations of personal freedom.

However, as the plot progresses, Lost Soul delves deeper into themes of rebellion, betrayal, and personal empowerment. Juliana’s evolving relationship with her family—especially the tension with her father and brother—adds depth to the story. The writing is descriptive, with moments of tender romance and heart-wrenching decisions that keep the reader invested.

While the pacing slows at times, the emotional intensity of Juliana’s journey shines through, making War of Destiny a compelling historical drama. Fans of historical fiction and strong character arcs will find much to appreciate in this first installment.
