Summary

Young mage Kya has a list of questions she longs to ask her guardian Dwen, who took her from her parents as a baby, allegedly to protect her from the Wooden King. Why can’t she leave the imprisonment of the walls of Raftengrad? Why does he allow her friendship with Thyme, a ghost girl who clearly makes him uncomfortable? Why has he spent her entire life training her to fight with magic? And how did he know the oil mage who tried to kill her?

Then, Kya sets about learning more about her forgotten home across the Serpent Sea, and hatches a plan to escape her captor. With the help of a rare cricker and accompanied by Thyme, Kya breaks the seal of the Journey Stones, hoping to find freedom in the place she was born.

But instead of freedom, Kya finds trouble in the land once ruled by the All-Queen. The invasion of the Wooden King is imminent, and her role in the war was put into motion long ago. Before long, she’s caught in the middle of a deadly struggle that can have catastrophic consequences. Kya realizes by trying to run from Dwen, she may have run straight into something far worse.

A great first, i wonder where the series will lead

What an amazing first novel!

It is awkward to write a review without any spoilers...

Some excellent characters, an interesting magic system and an intriguing story of the rise and fall of fantasy empires with chilling adversaries to several protagonist/viewpoint characters.

Loved it... will be starting it over again now 😁
You should give it a listen 👍
