    About this ebook

    A sickly Southern girl is thrust into a magical land of royals, wizards, shapeshifters, and danger in this fantasy adventure series debut.
     
    Raine Stewart is convinced she’ll die young and alone in Alabama, the victim of a chronic, mysterious illness. Even when a man in a cloak steps out of her mirror and demands her help fighting a bloodthirsty wizard, Raine shrugs it off as a hallucination—just one more insult from her failing body. Only when the handsome stranger kidnaps her does Raine realize she’s just stepped into a world of utmost danger—and urgent purpose.
     
    Ruled by unpredictable gods and unstable nations, Tandara is a land of shapeshifters and weather-workers, queens and legends. Monsters and bounty hunters patrol the mountains, riverboats are pulled by sea-cattle . . . and nightmarish creatures stalk Raine in pursuit of her blood.
     
    But Raine isn’t helpless—or alone. She’s part of a band as resourceful as it is odd: a mage-shy warrior, a tattered wizard, a tenderhearted giant, and a prickly troll sorceress. Her new friends swear she has powers of her own. With their help, she might just live long enough to find out what they are.

    Alexandra Rushe

    Alexandra Rushe was born in South Alabama, and grew up climbing trees, searching for sprites and fairies in the nearby woods, and dreaming of other worlds. The daughter of an English teacher and a small-town judge, Rushe developed a love of reading early on, and haunted the school and local libraries, devouring fairy tales, myths, and tales of adventure. In the seventh grade, she stumbled across a worn copy of The Hobbit, and was forever changed. She loves fantasy and paranormal, but only between the pages of a book—the flying monkeys in The Wizard of Oz give her the creeps, and she eschews horror movies. A psychic friend once proclaimed the linen closet in Rushe’s bedroom a portal to another dimension, and she hasn’t slept well since. Rushe is a world-class chicken.

      Thank you to the Goddess of books that I only paid $2.99 for this book. I think that this is the last time I believe any of the reviewers (or at least most of them) that have gotten free books in trade for an honest review. The sad part is, is that I also get free books for review.*sigh*So I believed that this book was wonderful, intriguing, had great characters and a terrific plot line- and it did if you are 14 and can't see beyond the holes in the plotting. If you can love a whining, annoying heroine that has no common sense and acts like a spoiled 13 year old (she was supposed to be an adult, was she not?) then this book is for you. If you love the hugely and obviously bad guy vs the sweet demure good girl AND love a book with virtually no end -just a set up for the next book. If you love more questions than there are answers and annoyingly grumpy and arrogant male main characters, (and what looks to be love interests) then you will adore this book.This was a puerile attempt at an "epic fantasy" as one reviewer called it, a "classic fantasy" as another did. I think the plot was trite and overdone. Too common of a storyline and had no surprises.I might have liked this book more if Raine our main character weren't in it. I loved all of the secondary and tertiary characters and on this alone, I might be tempted to read the second book---keyword 'might'.
