Walking in Lightning

Chest of Souls #9

by Michelle Erickson, StravenLite (Illustrator)

The final battle for the souls of men has come. Brenna is isolated. Courtesy of Nez, the ruler of Sogo, she now has a Temis Belt to accompany the Suque he infected her with. As a result, she is possessed and no longer has access to her power. Meeting Talon in dreams is no longer safe because the Suque has made plans to betray Nez and rule Sogo - at Talon’s side. Until the city falls, she’ll have to rely on wit and will to deal with the Suque, the Temis Belt, Nez, and his army of Nightshades. She fears she is no match for all that has combined against her. Talon is out of time. Brenna claims she loves him, but she remains in Sogo with Nez – by choice. He doesn’t agree with her reasoning. Each time he comes close to gaining her freedom, something or someone stands in his way. He’s done all that’s been asked of him and more. If she doesn’t come to him, he will go to her. His choice will end in death or finally having a life with Brenna, who may or may not choose him. It’s a chance he’s willing to take.

About the author

I'm an old soul that accomplished an unusual goal: publish 12 books in 12 months. I did it in 11 because I'm the white rabbit of time (so my children tell me).

I live in Idaho, work in another world, and thrive on the written word. By the time you read this, I'll working with new characters to turn upside down (or inside out), spin more plots to weave and plant subplots to harvest.

I have plans for many other books in various stages of development and must get cracking instead of writing this...are you still reading? Good. Keep it up - and thanks.

Wonderful series

The best epic adventure since Eragon and Harry Potter....

I am saddened that I have reached the end of this wonderful adventure. And sad that I won't be having updates on my new friends made in this series.

It is clean and an awesome series for pre-teen readers to adults. I am 56 and loved every page.

A lot of good wisdom imparted in this fantasy series.

Pretty good, kinda confusing...Spoiler

Just finished the series. The premise was good and I loved the Shees, just had a huge issue with Zav’s ending in the story when it was foretold that he and Hardy would have children. Did I miss something? What about Mal? All this way and all the other endings to not get one? I had a couple other minor gripes but those were my biggest.

Stunning series

I really loved all the books in the set but this last one almost finished off the entire lot. Magic, mayhem, evil, good, invincible and week, all in their own place and needed to finish this epic tale. I will get the follow up books as and when they become available. Scored the whole series.

The war is coming closer to Sogo now that Catsfour and Sala have fallen to Talon's army. What will Brenna ultimately deciede?
