Description:
Adeluna
is a soldier. Five years ago, she helped the magic-rich island of Grace
Loray overthrow its oppressor, Argrid, a country ruled by religion. But
adjusting to postwar life has not been easy. When an Argridian delegate
vanishes during peace talks with Grace Loray’s new Council, Argrid
demands brutal justice—but Lu suspects something more dangerous is at
work.
Devereux
is a pirate. As one of the outlaws called stream raiders who run
rampant on Grace Loray, he pirates the island’s magic plants and sells
them on the black market. But after Argrid accuses raiders of the
diplomat’s abduction, Vex becomes a target. An expert navigator, he
agrees to help Lu find the Argridian—but the truth they uncover could be
deadlier than any war.
Benat
is a heretic. The crown prince of Argrid, he harbors a secret obsession
with Grace Loray’s forbidden magic. When Ben’s father, the king, gives
him the shocking task of reversing Argrid’s fear of magic, Ben has to
decide if one prince can change a devout country—or if he’s building his
own pyre.
As
conspiracies arise, Lu, Vex, and Ben will have to decide who they
really are...and what they are willing to become for peace.
Sara
Raasch has known she was destined for bookish things since the age of
five, when her friends had a lemonade stand and she tagged along to sell
her hand-drawn picture books too. Not much has changed since then — her
friends still cock concerned eyebrows when she attempts to draw things
and her enthusiasm for the written word still drives her to extreme
measures. Her debut YA fantasy, SNOW LIKE ASHES, the first in a trilogy,
came out October 14, 2014 from Balzer + Bray. It does not feature her
hand-drawn pictures.
