Epic, thought-provoking, post apocalyptic adventure. When Kiya, a young mother and healer, is kidnapped to fulfil an ancient prophecy, Abe must choose between his friends and mankind's immortal souls. Two very different, isolated cultures clash and Kiya is raped and taken north across the High Atlas Mountains to a brutal, pagan High Priest intent on war at any cost. Raphel, Kiya's storyteller husband, must leave his baby daughter and set out on a thousand-mile journey to rescue Kiya with only hope and a headful of stories to aid him. They look to Abe for help, but he is is torn by his secret agendum decreed by a long-dead pope, and it is Raphel who has to find the courage to uncover an uncomfortable truth about the prophecy upon which the High Priest pins his hopes. Raphel and Kiya find help where they least expect it, but who can they trust - friend or foe? A tale of hope, courage, and faith against greed, brutality, and evil. Fascinating afterword for those interested in the science behind the story.
***** 'An engaging story well told. Rebecca Bryn is just one of those writers. You cannot help but love what she does.'
'I recommend this book to anyone looking for an intelligent dystopia novel and people interested in environmental and social issues.
I bought this book because I so enjoyed the author's previous two novels Touching the Wire and The Silence of the Stones.'
***** 'Where Hope Dares is an epic story about a dystopian future with an ancient feel. It takes talent to be able to build a futurist world with compelling characters to bring the story alive, Bryn has that talent. This is a sweeping tale that is emotive, intriguing, thought-provoking and well written. I love the proverbs. I love Kiya and RapheI. I am looking forward to reading more from this talented author.'
***** 'A fascinating and well-told story
After I had read the first couple of chapters I knew I was going to enjoy reading this book. It arouses your curiosity and draws you into the story immediately.'
**** 'A well written tale of a future earth with the feel of a chronicle of life long past. The triumph of the human spirit and above all love. The characters are fully fleshed out in this saga of life after the fall.. Can humans rise above the baser instincts? Have any lessons been learned? But no matter what love endures.'
***** 'I loved this book! It has everything characters you want to bond with, compelling plot and of course the main theme, which treads through the narration – love conquers all. Only love can unite us, better us and helps us survive.'
***** 'I have read other works by Rebecca Bryn and I came to love her writing style.
Where Hope Dares is a gripping story of love between Kiya, a gifted healer and Raphel, a talented storyteller. Their love is so strong and powerful, not even Kiya’s captivity and sexual sacrifice, could break the connection.
Though dark and dramatic, the story pulls you in and makes you question everything you thought you knew about the past...'
***** 'This is an inspiring, thought-provoking book unlike any I've read. Set far in the future, this is the story of clashing societies and their interpretations of the second coming. Some groups cover war, while others are peaceful by nature. It's very dystopian, but incorporates interesting political, social, and spiritual elements into the story . At the heart of it all is a story of love. A couple fighting against all odds...'

WHERE HOPE DARES The Gift of Prophecy eBook Rebecca Bryn Philip Stephen Knight
Holy Cow!! (No pun intended.) This was one of the most amazing books I have ever read. Rebecca Brynn is an author of considerable talent. Many authors develop a following because each of their books are built along the same structure and have many features in common, and those features draw readers who like a specific kind of book. With Brynn, I have learned not to expect more of the same. I have read Touching the Wire and Silence of the Stones. Each of those books was different, each drawing the reader in and keeping them invested in the characters and the plot, but neither of them followed a similar pattern.I was hesitant to read Where Hope Dares because I’m not that into dystopian literature, but I put my faith in Brynn, and I was rewarded with a story that I could not put down. For me, it was a good thing that my computer was in the shop getting an evaluation that led to buying a new hard drive. While my computer was unavailable for my own writing, I had plenty of time to read Where Hope Dares, and it did not disappoint. I’m glad I didn’t have to put it aside to get to my own writing objectives.
Brynn’s research for writing a story which takes place some thousands of years in the future, in a world that has suffered from the outcomes of global warming that we, in the twentieth century, refused to address, was superb. The science is woven into the story, though somewhat mysteriously, but it is also presented by way of some post-story notes. The social and political results of our failure are presented in a compelling fashion with the actions and interactions of the characters she has created.
I am astonished by Brynn’s ability to keep the story moving from page to page and chapter to chapter. I was surprised at several points along the way as I read; I kept expecting to turn the page into the climax only to discover that I was only one-third of the way through the story, or that I was only half-way through it.
Even if you don’t believe that global warming is a problem that we must address before our planet suffers unbelievable consequences, you will find this journey into our possible future a compelling story that you cannot put down.
I cannot wait for Brynn’s next story, whatever it is about.

WHERE HOPE DARES The Gift of Prophecy eBook Rebecca Bryn Philip Stephen Knight Reviews
This book delves into what happens in the world far in the future after mankind has destroyed the earth or much of it. It entwines political, social, and religious issues as people await the second coming--or The Gift. The various people have different interpretations of its meaning, but do any truly have it right?
The people of the north are worshipers of a war god. The ruling priest sends his followers to the south to bring back a woman who will bear the Gift. Alaric the Chosen kidnaps and rapes Kiya. Her husband Raphel tries to get her back, but gets captured himself. He, too, is included in the prophecy--as the blood for the sacrifice. Will their friend, the old man Abe, be able to save them from the Northerners' fate? Will God--any of their gods--intervene?
The story is engaging and makes you rethink what you know about the second coming. A nice twist on the as-yet-to-happen event, and a twist at the end that's sure to please.
What I loved most about the books is the proverbs and sayings at the beginning of each chapter. Some are quite hilarious; others thought-provoking.
Where Hope Dares is volumious yet gripping from the very beginning. It takes place in the future of planet Earth, but has an ancient feel to it. It felt as though I was reading a myth or a legend. Though there are many subplots, it’s mainly a love story between Kiya, a gifted healer and Raphel, a talented storyteller. Their beautiful relationship is interrupted by Kiya’s captivity and sexual sacrifice, but the connection between them is so strong and powerful that none of the outside evil can bring them down.
I found this to be a breathtaking adventure. Some part were tough for me to read, and the overall mood is dark and dramatic, but very captivating. I liked the idea of the future / past synchronicity, and how the author depicts the future of humanity as a reference to the ancient times. It makes you think whether history cyclically repeats itself. I also enjoyed the spiritual tone to it, and the nicely weaved in ecological messages.
I could feel the expertise and diligent work of the author, and sensed how much she worked on developing the story’s world and the characters. Hats off to her work!
I think this book will please readers who like epic, dramatic dystopian novels with a strong message.
This is an amazing book. I am so glad I read it - I enjoyed every page.
The writing is masterful - it grips you from the very first word and keeps you hooked until the end. I have found some dystopian fiction to be predictable, but in this case the story goes along paths that you don't expect.
I found myself identifying with the central character, despairing at the rape and callous treatment of her, but taking heart from her love and the deep bond with her husband. She is not without her flaws, and her naivety is an interesting counterpoint to her knowledge as a herbalist. I thought the characters were very well drawn - they all have a depth to them, and even the representation of evil is not one-dimensional.
The book is set far in the future, supposing enormous upheavals around the globe in our time, with an ice-age ensuing - very topical in this days with all the talk about climate change. But this is a book that stands out from the crowd and has a different perspective on what might follow such catastrophe. I won't give you any spoilers - suffice it to say that I was very impressed!
