Book Description:
Dumped in a treacherous
Arctic land, Amara Dagon must master her spell craft if she is to
survive a year in exile, but fear, doubt and the loss of her family
threatens to take hold. Can Amara gain control of her magic or will
she succumb to it leaving her people in the hands of a dangerous
tyrant?
My Review:
This is an intriguing fantasy. This was a journey and it is written as if a storyteller is telling it. It took me a bit to get into the story because I am not used to that format. It did not take away from my experience though, in some ways it heightened it. I didn't feel as consumed by the story but it allowed me to watch as an observer as the characters took the journey. I loved the descriptions of things and people that Amara came across and especially loved her relationship with the Raepuwa. There were times when I wanted to jump in and give characters "what for" and get more involved, to the point that my family started looking at me funny. I would recommend this to all fantasy lovers with the hope that love it as much as I do, if not more.
About
the Author:
I am the Co-Author to
Awakenings: The Wrath Saga, a paranormal drama likened to Big Brother
meets The Real World, of the Preternatural.
I'm currently working on
the sequels to In Dreams... Due for release in 2014.
I have a mind that is
easily distracted and prone to wandering. Tangents are my forte, and
if you think my characters are going to fit a cookie cutter shape of
any kind, think again. They live, they love, they eat, sleep and
fuck. I believe that people are inherently sexual creatures and my
characters be they human or something all together else are no
exception.
I don't adhere to a single
genera, I toe the line on several and wouldn't presume to be a master
of any. So I suppose you could call me jack-of-all-trade-paperbacks.
I am a truth seeker, in my
life, in my work. I’d apologize for it, but I kinda can't help
m’self. It's my best and worse personality trait, well mostly,
being Bi-Polar I guess you could say that is the worse. But I believe
that the disorder has made me, well... Me.
I have taken this life and
twisted, carved, shaped and molded it in to the worlds of my
characters. Albeit with a chainsaw, and it has made all the
difference
