Forget everything you thought you knew about maidens and unicorns…
A mysterious force has separated Kayleigh Reese and her battle unicorn, Majherri, who now find themselves on opposite sides of a war, each fighting to survive without the other. For Majherri, the unicorn is now controlled by his deranged first rider, and must find a way to free her mind in the hopes of bringing the woman back to the light. Majherri is forced to pick and choose his battles, both physical and mental, if he is to succeed. Along the way, he will have to become stronger than he has ever been to prevent the madness that threatens to consume him.
Meanwhile, Kayleigh, the young sorceress, struggles with an uneasy relationship with her new unicorn. Finding their missing comrades and escaping the ever-expanding warzone are her goals, but forces are already aligning against her. Secrets from her past come to light and force her to reexamine everything she knew about her life. Fighting for her life, she must master her powers and be willing to fight for her freedom against her enemies and even those she once trusted.
“War erupts across the land, testing young Kayleigh’s emerging skills and veteran Majherri’s loyalties as each struggles not only to survive, but to triumph over the spreading evil. Don’t miss the second installment in Bernhemier’s action-packed Spirals of Destiny!” Terry W. Ervin II, author of Relic Tech
Sorceress Spirals of Destiny Book 2 eBook Jim Bernheimer
I really enjoyed Jim Bernheimer's Spirals of Destiny: Rider, which was far more enjoyable than any book about a sixteen-year-old unicorn riding battle-maiden had any right to be. The premise of the books is they follow the adventures of a young woman named Kayleigh, who discovers she has the magical gift to bond with unicorns as well as wield magic far in excess than what a normal woman her age possesses. Living in a high fantasy world where war is between her kingdom and the local desert nomads has just broken out, it falls to her to do her part to prevent their takeover.Part of what I like about the series is it isn't afraid to go in odd directions. Last book, Kayleigh and her beloved unicorn, Majherri, "broke up" when the latter's former rider, Deanna Lynch, severed their bond before claiming him as her mount. This is a bad thing because said rider is completely insane and corrupted by black magic into a monster. Kayleigh has to adapt to this situation as well as the revelation she's the daughter of the insane Count who is responsible for this war. This fact has the potential to turn all of her allies against her as well as result in her execution by the Not-As-Nice-As-He-Seems High King.
Much of the book is devoted to Kayleigh attempting to step into the grandiose shoes required of her as being a junior Battle Maiden means she's left behind to die in a city doomed to be captured, used as a political pawn against her own father, and is being exploited left and right by her allies. Kayleigh's attempts to make the best of her situation despite this is inspiring, really, as if the fact she's increasingly aware she doesn't have to take the habitual abuse of slime like Captain Lynch or her sister. My favorite moment in the book is when Kayleigh finally calls the abusive rider out on her behavior and while Captain Lynch doesn't back down, it felt positively cathartic. It says a great deal about these books that I cared enough about their relationship to want to see it resolved.
Majherri's situation is nightmarish by comparison as the unicorn is both tempted as well as revolted by the effects being exposed to Nether-Beast (demonic) energy is having upon him. He's now capable of seducing any female of his species, something he's only coming to realize isn't willing and horrifying. Yes, this book deals with Majherri becoming a unicorn version of a sexy vampire. Likewise, he has come to hate his rider as Deanna's insanity has grown to the point it can't be justified simply by corrosive energy. If she's anything like her sister, she was probably rotten to the core anyway.
The politics of the book are surprisingly subtle for what seems, on the surface, to be a conflict between good and evil. Instead, Jim Bernheimer shows the noble kingdom protected by unicorn riders is brutalizing the desert folk and denying them resources while the latter have almost no understanding of the city-dwellers. It's a fairly realistic set of causes for a war and the fact the Battle Maidens are being used as champions for one side over the other rather than anything more noble is a clever subversion. This is a war story wrapped in the glamour of a high fantasy novel and I like that.
I'm not a big fan of the revelation Kayleigh is the daughter of the big villain since this is a plot device I feel is somewhat beneath Jim Bernheimer. Despite this, it's integrated well into both Kayleigh as well as the environment's growth. While I feel the plot device is somewhat hackneyed, it only reduced my enjoyment by the slightest bit. This is a good book and I recommend it to lovers of high fantasy who want a fun, light, but not-too-light adventure.

Sorceress Spirals of Destiny Book 2 eBook Jim Bernheimer Reviews
I love this series. The unicorn riders are amazing doing battle for their king. The young recruits learn magic and become warrior maidens based on their elements. Ashleigh is a destined leader and continues to amaze readers with her talents despite many set backs. Great read highly recommend.
totally awesome. you should read this right now, unless you haven't read the first book yet. even if you aren't into coming-of-age thingys, it's a good story. he (the author) manages to explain the magic in a very logical way, instead of some novels i could mention that basically say "magic happens but we aren't going to explain it because it's magic".
I must say that this book was a really nice surprise. The story is a lot more interesting, and all the contents generally seems to be "richer".
I'm hoping the trend continues for next parts (Well, with the exception of the time between releases)
The summary - if you read the first part and you liked it, you must get second part, because you will not be disappointed. If you didn't read the first, then you should start with that.
This is a better story than the first, with a few more world-expanding expositions and a generally better feel. Unfortunately, the number of grammatical errors really threw me out of the story often. I believe Bernheimer is a good author, and it's worth reading his stories, but it would be so much better if the books were properly edited.
Despite that, I'll be picking up the next story when it arrives!
I don't think I've given a book five stars, but read both your books in two days! I read a lot and your imagination and great characters took me to another world! I bought Worlds Apart bundle, otherwise I would have never found your work! I love finding new authors who take me to a mental vacation! I've always loved the unicorn myths, but combined with a type warriors is brilliant, very seldom do authors surprise me, but you did and that's why you get my five star rating! Can't wait for the rest of the story! Don't pull a GOT, Martin thing on us, get back to work soon! Looking forward to more of your works!
When I read the first book, I likened the end of it to the movie Fellowship of the Ring. This one didn't end as abruptly as the first but the longing for the next one is still there.
I really enjoyed Kayleigh's journey and her growth as the combo sorceress/battle maiden. I also liked the way the chapters bounced back and forth from Kayleigh's and Majherri's points of view. At the end of most of the chapters I had to resist the temptation to skip ahead to find out what happened next. What I didn't like was the time between the two books, hopefully more people will read these books and the third one won't take as long to get here.
"Sorceress, Spirals of Destiny2" is as the title would suggest, part 2 in the "Spirals of Destiny saga. The main character is a young girl named Kayleigh Reese who, upon meeting a unicorn named Majherri, becomes a battle maiden. Kayleigh is actually Majherris second rider. His first rider, Danella, was presumed dead after a battle in the desert. A unicorn is not supposed to nor has one ever before survived the death of their rider. First thing that I love about this story is that Jim has made Unicorns actually cool. Before reading " Rider" and "Sorceress", I alone could not picture Unicorns as being tough and strong. To my utter surprise he did it. As an avid fantasy reader what grabbed my attention was the uniqueness about this entire story. Jim uses creatures, like unicorns, that other authors don't. I love manticores and can't wait to see more of him in this series. Jim also uses new ideas that previously I had not seen in other stories. The animal spirits are great. Overall, I loved the entire book and I highly recommend it to any age that enjoys fantasy novels. But a warning, this is not meant to be a stand alone so start with "Rider" or you will be lost with most of the plot and references.
