Relation Supposing Books The Grey Woods
The Grey Woods is a meeting place between worlds, where souls go after they die, where they come before they are born. Here, the powerful Lady Atya of the Majae draws Fin Goldvale into this spiritual realm to witness past events that hold the key to his future. But Fin is caught between his cousin Madros’ present turmoil and his past love for the enchanting Eamìn of the Majae. In order to ensure their very survival, Fin must navigate Lord Madros’ growing madness by understanding the heroic deeds of his past.Madros was forced to send his beloved Eamìn to a remote city where his cousin Gareth is king. Fin was sent with her to protect her from the dark forces ever searching for her power, but more importantly, from Gareth himself. But Fin is accused of an affair with Eamìn, who has been forced to marry Gareth while in hiding, and he escapes to Madros’ city with the heartbreaking news that she is no longer safe there. But pulling her out of the hidden city will expose her again to the Lord of the Dream Realm, who Madros is ultimately protecting her from.
Madros must decide if leaving Eamìn in Gareth’s clutches is the lesser of two evils, or will the guilt of how she suffers in Gareth’s hands drive him to choose another option so deadly, in an attempt to rid both threats to her.
Time is an infinite loop, expanding, contracting and repeating again, and this tale weaves itself through a series of parallel events happening three years apart. In the end Fin finds himself standing between Madros and Eamìn, two people he’s sworn to love and protect, and deciding which to serve.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. J. Carson Rose created a fantasy world that quickly drew me in. I became deeply involved in all the characters and right when I thought I knew what was going to happen at the end I was thrown the greatest plot twist. As soon as I finished the last sentence I started wishing for the second book.The story opens as very believable historical fiction concerning the (literal) trials and tribulations of a fugitive traveller, Findathúil, accused of adultery with a queen, which is an act of treason. The Grey Woods of the title are considered a meeting place between worlds, almost a dream-state, where time is not linear. At the first mention of this place, the story takes on another dimension, adding fantasy and a dose of the supernatural into the mix. Chimerical creatures exist within Roses
Before I go into a review, a little background on how i got this book. I was walking & looking around New York Comic Con, I saw a table with three drawings hanging up and thats what absolutely drew me in. Especially Fin one of the main characters; he is so handsome. Also, the Triskele (Celtic spiral) symbol the lady's cheek. (I forgot which character it was but she was gorgeous as well) The author (J. Carson Rose) took the time to explain a little bit about her book. I read the back cover
One of my favorite aspects of this story is how it reads. It has a nice film quality to it instead of a basic novel. You can feel the action happening. I am a fan of a right to the point style and The Grey Woods delivers that in leaps and bounds. The concept is pretty intense too. I love how each character adds to what is, and have had happen, instead of any one character being filler! ~ Thomas J Bellezza
I highly recommend this book for readers who do not ordinarily read fantasy. The created world and the complexity of the main characters engaged me with a high pitched battle between human frailty and the powers of the spiritual realm. The main character intrigued me with his contradictory actions and my feelings wavered as to the authenticity of his motivation. While the story is excellent as a stand-alone novel, I look forward to more of this tale.
The Grey Woods takes readers on a journey into a wine, women and song-type ye olde world, populated by warriors, kings and fair maidens. It has something else too a whimsical, ethereal center, around which the plot weaves. It has battles and bloodshed throughout, human-animal hybrids and magic. Readers follow the story of the protagonist as he navigates through accusations of treason and infidelity and the myriad consequences these bestow on him and other characters. J Carson Rose has created a
I just finished Book 1, and I cannot wait until Book 2. I don't want to give too much away, but Rose's detail in the description of the characters, both in their internal monologue and physical goings on is colorful and engulfing. Moreover, her syntax is invigorating, as well as fervent. This is a real deal page turner! This is definitely a series I could envision myself rereading again, even if the next two books are only half as good as the first. I became so involved with the characters, I
