USA Today best-selling author W. J. May, brings you the highly anticipated continuation of the best-selling YA/NA series about love, betrayal, magic and fantasy.
Be prepared to fight, it's the only option. How long can you outrun your fate?
When Evie and her friends set out to fulfill a long-awaited prophecy, they never thought their adventure would turn into a nightmare before their very eyes. Trapped in a cavern beneath the ground, they find themselves going up against a creature so twisted and terrible, they wouldn't have believed it was real. Their strength is tested, and friendships are strained. But, as they soon discover, the creature was the least of their problems. The world is shifting. Shadows and darkness are entering the land. Rumors are whispering around the remaining kingdoms; rumors of a dark and powerful stone.
Can the friends find it in time? Or, are some prophecies never meant to be? Be careful who you trust. Even the devil was once an angel.
Wanita May grew up in the fruit belt of Ontario - St.Catharines. Crazy-happy childhood, she always has had a vivid imagination and loads of energy.
The youngest of six -- four older brothers, and a sister -- taught her at a young age to be competitive in all aspects of life.
At sixteen, she began competing in athletics (track and field) and before she turned seventeen, she was representing Canada in high jump. She continued to compete, breaking Canada's JR High Jump record (1.92m - 6' 3 1/2" for those metric-ly challenged). She attented University of Toronto, and Kansas State University - winning CIAU's and becoming All-American 6x - NCAA Indoors Runner Up + more.
But you're not interested in her athletic career - unless of course you're curious to know she stands 1.70m (5'7") and has jumped 20cm over her head on more than one occassion. She's represented Canada at the World Championships, World Jrs., won Francophone Games, and loved every minute of every competition. From the grueling workouts, the crazy weights she lifted on her back, the days she thought her lungs were going to spit out of her mouth for lack of oxygen, the travelling around the world and the opportunity to read - her favourite past time.
Life continued with her husband (a distance runner from Liverpool, UK, who she met at KSU) and then their first, then second and finally third child. Their house became full of more imagination and stories.
Wanita and her husband run an online business, dealing in antiques and collectables - particularly jewelry and porcelain (one of the business' website: www.wadeincanada.com ).
After her father passed away in 2009, from a six-year battle with cancer (which she still believes he won the fight against), she began to write again. A passion she'd loved for years, but realized life was too short to keep putting it off.
Her first book, Rae of Hope - from the Chronicles of Kerrigan - will be available October 2011 by kNight Romance Publishing.
She is currently represented by Dawn Dowdle of Blue Ridge Literary Agency. Wanita is a writer of Young Adult, Fantasy Fiction and where ever else her little muses take her.
I'm loving this series so far. I've read two books in a few days. About to start the next. Cliff hangers always make me want to find out more of the story.
The devil was once an angel? The devil was once an angel? Yes, that may be true but what has that got to do with this story? The evil wizard was always evil. And this author is very frustrating leaving bad grammar, typos, and the dreaded cliffhanger! What is more evil than that? Well I was a sucker for downloading this box set of three books never having read this author’s work before, but I won’t fall for it again. I’m not even motivated to think about the possibility. I’m sure there are some YAs out there that will be intrigued by this fantasy tale and that’s ok. I’m sure they will enjoy it. However, it’s not for me.
I like this book but I was just a little frustrated with the characters they seem to be making the same mistakes over and over not really learning from them which is a little disappointing.
One would think that after vanquishing the Basilisk while Asher is lying unconscious and Landy is close to death, that Evie would get a break. That's not the way things go in the author's imagination.
Evie must come to grips with the fact that she has gone through her first shift. Then, she must keep Asher away from Elander as the Fae's magic blood is almost irresistible to the vampire. Finally, Evie must find a way to cure Elander and then figure out how to return to her human form.
This great author has written a sequel to the first book of this series (discipline), that is even better than the first one with challenge after challenge for the trio and the young teenage princess in particular. As if the suspense wasn't enough, she adds witches and sorcerers into the mix seasoned with bounty hunters to stimulate the reader's appetite and succeeds in creating this action filled second book that quickly becomes a page turner and that I highly recommend as well as rate with 5 Stars.
