Since the days of ancient Greece, a mystery has been passed down through the lineage of the Argos dynasty - a secret kept by the descendants of their family from generation to generation - in the hopes that the forces for good will be able to stop the destruction of planet Earth by the forces of evil. Since 1939, Margaret Ingall has been harboring her family's secret. Time is running short for the descendants of the Argos. It is said that a powerful healer and time traveler will be born of their blood. The one who will be called 'The Soul of the Sun'.

However, the only person who knows the true identity of the healer is Margaret's younger sister, Abigail. Before she can reveal the healer's identity, disaster strikes. Evil stalks them, watching and waiting to discover which member of Margaret's family has the ultimate power. Is it Margaret's own child, Astrid? Her beloved granddaughter, Emma? Or even Margaret herself?

Their only clue is a powerful amulet - the family's protection which will lead them all in a dangerous cat-and-mouse game to discover secrets as ancient as time itself. Margaret knows one thing for certain: if the shadowy darkness known as the Watcher discovers the truth before they do, all will be lost. Fate, time and love weave together in their struggle to fulfill their destiny.

Will Margaret's fears sabotage her family's protection? Can the healer accept her gifts in time? And once the Soul of the Sun is finally revealed, will it be too late?

Her power is incredible. The sacrifices required of her are immense. However, will it ultimately be enough to defeat the Watcher?

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. The plot was intriguing and fast-paced; the story was engaging, and I was totally engrossed in the story by the end of the first chapter. I found the characters to be very well-developed and sympathetically drawn.

I can't wait to discover what happens next in the series. I give The Soul of the Sun by Genevieve Crownson a definite A! and I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series some time very soon.… (mehr)

I had a good time reading this book. I liked Margaret. She was an exciting character and strong with a good head on her shoulders. Even when she endured a terrible ordeal. For a first book in the series, I have to say that this was a good book. The author found the right balance of laying the ground work for the plot of the series without dragging it out too long. This is what I liked this book. I was able to get a good idea of what the plot was about but at the same time I was able to jump right into the story. The jumping back and forth within time periods was smooth. Although, I liked the past better, it drew me in more then the present. Plus, I thought more exciting things happened in the past. However towards the end when the story shifted more to the present, it did get more interesting. The ending left at a high note to the lead up for the next book.

The Watcher is one evil and deceitful person. I would not really call him a person but more an essence without a soul. I would not want to ever meet him in any situation. He is the perfect evil to be the bad guy in this book. This book is part fantasy as well. In addition, to being a quick read. The Soul of the Sun is a captivating read!… (mehr)
