Due to some outside factors, we've added today as a stop on Lisa Bilbrey's Journey to a New Life blog tour. Luckily, being the consummate professional that she is, Lisa sent me everything I needed to be able to help out.

HOLY FREAKING EASTER EGGS!!! Anyone complaining about this book being “filler” isn’t paying attention!!! There are so many clues about the Empyrean, Basgaith, the Revolution, and the riders. I need to reread the entire series and take a ton of notes!

Laura’s Quotes

“I figured you should have something both beautiful and functional, like you."
He said it so quickly that it almost didn't register. I whipped my head around to look at him. "Max," I breathed, touching my heart with exaggerated awe, "you think I'm functional?"
A dancing smile glinted in his eyes. "I think," he said, "that you are breathtakingly functional.”
― Carissa Broadbent, Daughter of No Worlds
