A treacherous, thrilling, epic fantasy
about an outcast drawn into a war between two powerful rulers.
Orphaned and alone, Jasminda
lives in a land where cold whispers of invasion and war linger on the wind.
Jasminda herself is an outcast in her homeland of Elsira, where her gift of
Earthsong is feared. When ruthless soldiers seek refuge in her isolated cabin,
they bring with them a captive--an injured spy who threatens to steal her
heart.
Jack's mission behind enemy
lines to prove that the Mantle between Elsira and Lagamiri is about to fall
nearly cost him his life, but he is saved by the healing Song of a mysterious
young woman. Now he must do whatever it takes to save Elsira and it's people
from the True Father and he needs Jasminda's Earthsong to do it. They escape
their ruthless captors and together they embark on a perilous journey to save
Elsira and to uncover the secrets of The Queen Who Sleeps.
Thrust into a hostile
society, Jasminda and Jack must rely on one another even as secrets jeopardize
their bond. As an ancient evil gains power, Jasminda races to unlock a mystery
that promises salvation.
The fates of two nations
hang in the balance as Jasminda and Jack must choose between love and duty to
fulfill their destinies and end the war.
My Review: DNF.
I gave
this book two chances and each time I just couldn't finish it.
Jasminda inst a bad character, but I couldn't connect with her and neither could I
connect with Jack. These characters just needed a little more push for
me.
The
story itself just seemed to move so slow. The details didn't jump out and pull
me in to the,edge of my seat. Overall the story just wasn't meant for me.
