About this eBook

The winding streets and narrow alleys of Karolene hide many secrets, and Hitomi is one of them. Orphaned at a young age, Hitomi has learned to hide her magical aptitude and who her parents really were. Most of all, she must conceal her role in the Shadow League, an underground movement working to undermine the powerful and corrupt Arch Mage Wilhelm Blackflame.

When the League gets word that Blackflame intends to detain—and execute—a leading political family, Hitomi volunteers to help the family escape. But there are more secrets at play than Hitomi’s, and much worse fates than execution. When Hitomi finds herself captured along with her charges, it will take everything she can summon to escape with her life.

Fans of Robin McKinley and Tamora Pierce will love this action-packed story of one girl fighting monsters both human and not.

As some people may know, I started the Sunbolt Chronicles with Memories of Ash as I didn’t get to read this book the first time round. Therefore, Sunbolt re-releasing is a lovely coincidence that I am able to read this book at last! This novel features Hitomi, the Shadow League, and the unjust system within Karolene. Keen to uphold fairness, members of the League set out to rescue an affluent family, who has recently been on the enemy Blackflame’s radar. Wanting to keep them safe from harm due to their similar beliefs, the League and Hitomi devise a plan to save the family. Things get awry, members in on the rescue mission scatter, and Hitomi finds herself at the mercy of a supernatural creature. With wits, strength, and determination, it is fascinating to see how the events unfold and the action pan out in Sunbolt. There is never a dull moment in the novel: succinct conversations, gentle kindness, and simply plenty of excitement!

Until recently, Intisar wrote grants and developed projects to address community health with the Cincinnati Health Department, which was as close as she could get to saving the world.
