B.R.A.G. Medallion honoree as of May, 2024!!

In a world where gods have been imprisoned for millennia, and danger lurks around every corner, Starlyn DeTousan's life takes an extraordinary turn. Raised as an outcast on a tranquil farmstead, she's summoned before The Elders, ancient deities bound by a curse. With a Guardian by her side, she embarks on a perilous journey through lands teeming with vampires, demons, and ruthless bandits, all in pursuit of a destiny she never asked for.

But the path to salvation is fraught with peril. A relentless Mistress from the North dispatches her fearsome pack of Night Runners, a breed of werewolves like no other, to thwart Starlyn's quest. Along the way, Starlyn unlocks mysterious powers she struggles to control, seeking an unlikely ally to guide her.

As time ticks away, a desperate race unfolds. Can Starlyn defy the Mistress and her Night Runners to reach The Elders in time? Failure could spell the end of an ancient era. Yet, in a world shrouded in secrets, nothing is as it seems.

Prepare for a pulse-pounding, must-read epic where destiny collides with danger, and the destiny of The Elders hinges on Starlyn's strength and cunning. Magic, secrets, and courage intertwine in a tale that will keep your heart racing until the very last page...

5.0 out of 5 stars A gripping tale!
Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2021

An easy read, with an excellent story. The story is part a coming of age tale and part fantasy thriller. The author's excellent use of vivid imagery and fast paced storytelling keeps the reader on the edge of their seats as they follow Starlyn and her Guardian across an expansive world. The reader is never quite sure who to trust, which bonds us to Starlyn as she makes these choices on her journey on this unknown path. I recommend this book for anyone looking for an entertaining tale or young adult novel. I'll be looking forward to the second installment.

I am not an avid reader.
The last book I enjoyed reading was the Harry Potter Series.
Having picked up this book I realized I was a fool for not given this hobby more love.

The author has created a piece of art that had me invested deeply. The characters, depth and literary flow made me infatuated by this book.
Can't wait for the sequel!
