Eubeltic Realm, Book One: a search for identity

Your soul will remember...
As a woman who wasn't born to wealth or privilege, Abigaia has mastered the art of thievery. And she's come to hate it. Not only is she plagued by guilt, but her shadowed upbringing and silent ways cause most of her town to question her sanity.

Yet, Abigaia's eccentric father always taught her to be proud of her heritage. Her ancestry lies across the sea, in a prominent realm she's read about but has never seen.

The man who desires Abigaia's hand in marriage doesn't share her hope of seeing the Eubeltic Realm. But disaster erupts in their path, and Abigaia's dream may have a greater purpose—if that famed domain of her ancestors is now in crucial need of her.

The Eubeltic Realm series is best read in order. While this historical fantasy book does not have magical elements, the story is set in a completely fictional world.

Movement of Crowns Series

As a lifelong book lover, historical fiction is my all-time favorite genre. But after I started creating characters like indomitable Constance, daring Naona, and others in the Movement of Crowns trilogy, I realized I actually write historical fantasy: fictional history in a completely fictional world. Yet, this fictional world doesn't have "fantastical" elements like magic and mythical creatures.

Crowns Legacy Series

At first I thought The Movement of Crowns—a story of royalty, romance, war, and hope—would be a standalone book. Then I figured the Movement of Crowns trilogy would be all there is. But there was still so much more to explore about the characters and their world. So the Crowns Legacy series picks up a year after the Crowns trilogy leaves off.

Eubeltic Realm Series

The Eubeltic Realm series picks up more than a century after the Crowns trilogy and Crowns Legacy series. While historical fiction and fantasy fans alike can start and enjoy any one of these three series first, it's best to read the books within each series in their numbered order. You'll gradually learn more about the people of the Realm, their pasts, and their destinies, just as I have.

Hope Beyond Series

These are tales with both distant and close ties to the Eubeltic Realm. The stories can be enjoyed on their own or as companions to the various Eubeltic series.

Editorial Reviews

Review

5 Stars: "There are so many brilliant aspects to explore...you'll be thankful that this isn't the only book Keels has written about the Eubeltic Realm." ~Indies Today
5 Stars: "A beautiful story of friendship, hope, and overcoming past regrets..." ~Readers' Favorite

From the Author

The Crowns Legacy series and the Eubeltic Realm series are spin-offs from the Movement of Crowns series.

The Crowns Legacy series picks up about a year after the Movement of Crowns series, and the Eubeltic Realm series picks up more than a century after the Movement of Crowns series.

While it isn't necessary to read the different series in the order of their chronological histories, it is best to read the books within each series in their numbered order.

5.0 out of 5 stars Page-Turner Christian Fantasy
Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2023
Eubeltic Descent is book 1 in the Eubeltic Realm Christian fantasy series. It’s not the magic and dragons kind of fantasy, nor is it a sword and sorcery story. The fantasy comes from being a completely different Earth than we’re used to (is it even our planet?), and it’s set in pre-industrial times. The kingdom, states, library system, and political system are creations of Keels’ imagination.

Keels’ characters are distinct and wonderful. Abigaia, the protagonist, can’t speak. Her uncle is a compassionate man. Family is the number one priority for a street vendor she knows. Her love interest fears losing his security. Her childhood friend has a temper. I could go on.

One of my personal hang-ups with fantasy stories is that the names are unfamiliar and start to bleed together. Not so in Keels’ book! She uses almost-familiar names (Abigaia is just one letter from Abigail, for example) and mnemonics to help the reader remember and keep characters straight.

As for the Christian aspect, it’s subtle. Names from the Bible, even Bible passages, sneak up on the reader in unexpected ways. (The planning Keels must have gone through to make it all work!) Abigaia encounters the same socio-economic difficulties present in our own Western society, and when Abigaia seeks a solution, it jibes with Biblical principles without ever mentioning Jesus or Christ or Bible. (Scripture and God are mentioned.)

Also, as one would expect in Christian fiction, the story is pretty clean with no cussing or intercourse or gory violence. (Selling one’s body is mentioned, and there is a scene with a pretty severe beating viewed from a distance.)

Abigaia and her friends are in their early twenties. I am a middle-aged woman and had fun reading Eubeltic Descent, but I think readers in their late teens and throughout their 20s would especially enjoy this book, particularly if they like fantasy or historical fiction.

Overall, a page-turning, gripping read. Hard to put down!

I enjoyed this book from the beginning. the author knows how to draw the reader in. About half way through, it seemed to drag a bit. BUT the plot is good if you enjoy stories that mainly revolve around relationships and people with weaknesses finding strength through those weaknesses. Very little violence and no sex. A good, clean, God-honoring read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Part history, part fantasy, part inspiration, totally engaging...
Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2018
SUMMARY:
Proud of her ancestry though she has never seen the land, Abigaia’s hope is to one day visit. As a young girl who blossoms into a young woman, her inner strength becomes visible as she grows. As she continues to mature and follow her plan, catastrophe strikes which changes everything. Perhaps now needed by her people, Abigaia must make a hard decision. Part history, part fantasy, part inspiration, totally engaging…
A PENNY FOR MY THOUGHTS:
As one of my favorite authors and as a continuation of the Movement of Crowns trilogy, there was no doubt I was going to read Nadine Keels’ newest book, Eubeltic Descent. I absolutely loved this one, especially watching Abigaia grow- I actually found myself cheering for her. While fantasy is not a preferred genre of mine, this author has changed my mind with her writings. Able to be read as a stand-alone book, the background from the previous stories would only enhance the experience even more. Well written and sharing her mastery of language, Nadine Keels hits the high mark yet again. Glad to see this is Book 1 of new series, I hope she takes my advice to continue writing as I so savor her skilled talent. I am confident readers of all ages will enjoy this book as much as I did. (As always, a gorgeous cover, too!)

Disclaimer: I received a free copy of this book in return for my honest review. All opinions are my own.

Nadine has a way of taking characters that would not usually be the main character and making their stories shine. Abigaia is a delightful main character, and her journey is a fantastic tale of finding home.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well done
Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2018
9/10 I cared about the characters and I thought about the story when I had to take a break and return to real life. Truly well written.
Technically everything was equally well done. There were no spelling/grammatical/structural errors so common in the self-published world.
As another reviewer has mentioned this isn't a sweeping epic of heroic quests or a saga of some global fight for justice but it is an intriguing tale nonetheless. This is a kind of subdued story of a girl searching for meaning and answers and perhaps altering the direction of a nation in the process.
Maybe it is a heroic quest after all.
I'll be waiting for a sequel.

4.0 out of 5 stars Eubeltic Descent
Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2023
This fantasy story was a quick and enjoyable read. I liked the characters, especially Abigaia and Daun, and the book was well-written. The romance was so sweet and possibly my favorite part of the book. However, I expected more from the setting, somehow–I wanted the Eubeltic Realm to be drastically different from Reeh. Also, I felt parts of the plot were unrealistic–I won’t go into detail since it might result in a mild spoiler, but they seemed highly unlikely. I would still highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys fantasy with clean romance and a Christian undercurrent.

I would like to thank the author for giving me a free review copy to honestly review. I was not required to write a positive review.

A touching story that continues the saga of the Movement of Crowns series. Felt nostalgic and a bit sad to see how much time had elapsed in that world. Looking forward to reading what happens next in the world of the Eubeltic Realm
