I surprised giving this book five stars. I was going to give
it only four stars but the way Melanie brought the book together in the last
part; I felt it deserved five stars.
I enjoyed the story and feel everyone should read the work
of this talented writer.
The story is about a young woman that slowly learns about
life and herself in a land filled with magical Dravani, gypsies and humans all
living in the same peaceful world of Kierika. In the next kingdom, humans are
slaves to the Dravani. It is a story filled with magic and a young woman’s
coming of age finding herself able to stand on her own in their world.
The main Character’s:
Jenny, the main Character is a young woman was raised as a human in the kingdom of
Kierika that makes part of Nazdravan discovers she is not just human. Sheltered
all her life by her Aunt and grandmother she learns the truth when she goes to
her sister’s wedding about herself.
Sarah, her older sister that by her wedding brings the
protected Jenny into the real world to attend her wedding.
Arram, a Dravani man that Jenny falls in love with but has
difficulty accepting his ways.
Jack, another Dravani that tries to steal Jenny away from
Arram to posses her. She enjoys Jack’s attentions at first and almost falls in
love with him but he is devious and tries to take her for his own.
About the Author When Melanie Crouse looks out her window right now, all she can see are ice covered trees and a huge igloo surrounded by glittery, sparkly snow. There is also a cat, but he is barely visible because his white fur is such great camouflage in the winter. Somewhere out in all that whiteness, (hopefully in the igloo, but who knows?) are her husband and two youngest children. As soon as Melanie is done with writing for the night, she is going to play Curses with her teenage children, and then they will probably watch TV. And then, when everyone is asleep, (except possibly the shivery children in the igloo), Melanie is going to meet online with Sheena and Sabrina, where they will discuss horrible ways to torture the characters of Pyromancy, who have been way too happy for a couple of chapters now. It is a wonderful life. You can find Melanie at:
