Description

Sera Skohlidon longs for adventure, to be like the brave crusaders of lore. In her guarded imagination, fauns have rejected the Royal Coven, the Coven’s magic, and the questionable trades faunkind makes for it. One day, her quest for answers unearths a family secret that draws her to the heart of the Coven's malfeasance. With the help of a shapeshifting deadringer, Sera embarks on an epic journey that sharpens her self-image, emboldens newfound confidence with a dashing, cavalier classmate, and levels the magical playing field.

This edition features 32 full-sized illustrations and beautifully considered typography throughout.

Featured Reviews

I would like to give thanks to NetGalley and Sorce, Independent Book Publishers Association (IBPA), Members' Titles for the ARC of this novel.

5 out of 5 stars.

This was so well written and I honestly could find hardly any faults in the publication. There was one case of a missing word, which an editor should be able to spot, since I did.

The worldbuilding of this entire novel was smooth and seemless, I found myself learning about the world of Sorce and its characters without having to ask questions. My questions were always answered and in a way that wasn't overbearing or too much information. It was good to just dive into a world and find out about as we adventured there. The plot was fantastic.

The edition I recieved as an ARC featured 32 beautifully drawn illustrations by Kira Night.

It's a story of our main character Sera who has always longed for travel and adventure. With the help of a pig-shaped Deadringer she embarks on a journey that could pull apart everything everyone knows. Who is Sera? What does she believe in and how, with her friends' support can she free her people?

The typesetting in this publication is beautiful and it made me linger over ever single page.

This is a book that takes you on a magical journey pushing the limits of science and beliefs,

Fantastic fantasy fiction for children and adults of all ages. I would highly recommend this for a classroom or bedroom bookshelf. Any library would be lucky to have a copy.

This story was amazing! I loved the characters and the world, and it was very well-paced.

I adored the art all throughout the book! Each piece was absolutely gorgeous and helped me visualize the story and characters. The style of the text was also an interesting choice that at first was a bit odd to me but it didn’t bother me after the first couple of chapters!

Thank you so much to NetGalley and to Charles Armstrong for allowing me to read this and review it! I ADORED IT! <3 I can’t wait to see what comes next…
