The second installment of The Traders series will have readers enthralled by this epic adventure. Shaeli has been left behind when her Trader flies to Cave for the Wintering. Queen Virrisian’s guard cover the Land like a stain, and the lives of the People grow darker as the brutality increases. Shaeli travels to the Starisles to perform, yet when the darkness targets her, almost robbing her of her mind and her life, she must flee. As companions gather to protect her, she faces a harrowing journey to Cave. The journey is fraught with danger. Shaeli and her companions are pursued by the queen’s guard, and the mysterious black ship. Her magic is tested time and again. But is Cave really the sanctuary she imagines?
'The Thrower's Apprentice' is the second book in The Traders series, it follows on beautifully from 'Shaeli of Purple Leaf'. This epic story had me enthralled, and will appeal to audiences aged 16 years and beyond. Can't wait for Book 3.
