The author has an amazing ability to weave these new original fantasy worlds that pull you in. Not to mention the unique strong will characters who you can’t help but root for. I really enjoyed them. The story itself was fast paced full of twists and turns that leave me guessing. I definitely look forward to more!" -Ashley, Goodreads "A wondrous novel full of magic and magic lore which kept me completely enthralled and wanting to read on till the last line.
