SHORT BOOK DESCRIPTION:

The High Queen is dying…At the royal summons, Shae mounts a wingabeast and soars through the air to the high hold of Faeraven, where all is not as it seems.  Visions warn her of danger, and a dark soul touches hers in the night.  When she encounters an attractive but disturbing musician, her wayward heart awakens. 

But there is Kai, a guardian of Faeraven and of Shae.  Secrets bind him to her, and her safety lies a the center of every decision he makes.  On a desperate journey fraught with peril and the unknown, they battle warlike garns, waevens, ferocious raptors, and the wraiths of their own regrets.  Yet, they must endure the campaign long enough to release the DawnKing – and the salvation he offers – into a divided land.  To prevail, each must learn that sometimes victory comes only through surrender.

REVIEW:

With a house full of fantasy lovers I had no doubt that someone would be willing to read this book and share their thoughts about it with you all.  It ended up being me first, but Amber is also interested in picking it up soon.  I thought the book was good.  I’m looking forward to the next book in the series. 

I found the characters likable and even though it’s set in a fantasy world, I found it easy to feel connected to the story.  If you’re interested in fantasy type stories, I would say give it a try and see if you like it yourself.

AND NOW…THE FIRST CHAPTER:
