This first book of the series was a magic fantasy historical young adult journey that brings about a gift to evoke powerful emotions and long lasting actions.

The world created here was vivid and drawing. I could feel myself being immersed in each new scenery. I was thrilled with this fantasy fast pace adventure. Telyn was a girl with unique abilities and with a very important task. You could feel the steps she made to get to where she was going. Danger lay en route to her destination and death could await her there. I found myself wrapped in the turning of each new page to get more details to further entwine myself.

I have me a ya author to keep on my radar and look for more good things from. ( )
