About this ebook

Winner of the SKOW Best Fantasy Award! Perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Cassandra Clare and Tamora Pierce, this award winning YA Fantasy adventure follows the journey of Sora Fallcrest on an action-packed quest to find her mother. She is joined by a party of intriguing characters: a thief, a mercenary, and a mysterious assassin. If you love high fantasy quests, enemies-to-lovers romance, plucky heroines, snarky side characters and complex villains, this series is for you!


Synopsis


Sora Fallcrest always dreamed of adventure, but as a member of the nobility, she learned the ways of a Lady instead. Now seventeen, she is expected to choose a husband and marry. She plots to run away, but just as she is stepping out the door, she is kidnapped by a mysterious stranger!


Plunged into a world of magical races and forgotten lore, she finds herself at the mercy of a dangerous assassin: a man of few words haunted by a dark past. A powerful bloodmage pursues the assassin on a quest for revenge, and Sora is now caught in the middle. Her Cat's-Eye necklace is the only thing that can save the assassin's life, and he won't let her go until the bloodmage is defeated.


The Cat's-Eye necklace was given to Sora by her mother, who vanished shortly after Sora's birth. She always thought of it as a family heirloom. In truth, the Cat's-Eye necklace is an ancient weapon from the long forgotten War of the Races, and its magic has the ability to steal souls. Can Sora learn to wield its power, or will the power wield her?

Don't let the title and cover picture fool you this book has nothing to do with marbles. Unless feeling like you're loosing yours counts. The characters are intriguing, the plot NOT the same used, recycled swill. Even the Races, though familiar sounding, are free of many of the usual expected behavior traits. Yes the main characters and landscapes could be more developed, details adding to develop depth. READ THIS BOOK. I plan on purchasing the series for the library I am building for my Grandaughter!

I would give this book at least 4.5 stars! I definitely recommend this book to those of you like quest/journey types of books like I do and enjoy a little fantasy now and then. I love fantasy because it introduces a whole new world to you and I definitely love seeing what type of species/creatures the author come up with for the book. I will definitely be reading book 2 soon, I can't wait to see what Sora does next (I'm referring to the ending, for those of you that have read it) and I can't wait for that romance to blossom!

I've been following T.L. Shreffler for years and have never once been dissapointed! The first book in her series, Sora's quest was a magical introduction into a world full of wonders and characters that are just starting to find themselves. I will always recommend to friends looking for a good read.
