A magical discovery, a set of charms known as the Mercury Pearls, are believed to be in an ancient forest. Unfortunately, the detailed history behind these charms is unknown, which makes them dubious and possibly dangerous.
Reese Gilavar is told about these charms by her sister, Lily Berg. Both are natural born elemental Windborn witches and Seekers of lost magical charms and tokens with the Michaud Institute. Searching for these kinds of objects is what they do for a living, and the Mercury Pearls are on their radar. At least, on Lily's radar. The sisters bring in a Sentinel with the Michaud Institute, Ruxinder - a natural born elemental Fireborn giant - for guard duty. After all, Seekers must never go after a magical charm or token without a Sentinel.
They set off for the ancient forest, only to find hidden threats. It's the kind of trouble that comes with the job, but this time there may be no recovery, no charms to acquire. This time, they could meet their untimely demise.
What will happen to Reese, Lily, and Rux? Find out more in this magic-filled new fantasy mystery novel, Seeker.
A very fast, fun read! Raegan is a great character, and I enjoyed following her progress as she tried to solve the mystery of her sister and cousin's disappearance.
The plot was well laid out, and I was eager to see what would happen next. There were a lot of questions that were nicely resolved at the end. Some interesting world building, too. It's slightly in the future, but the world is very different after a world wide attack. Magic users run everything.
I do like a fast paced story, but the ending felt rushed. I wanted more of the issues brought up in the story to be hashed out. And the solution to everything hinged on a dues ex machina. It worked out okay, but I would have preferred Raegan find a solution herself. Don't get me wrong, Raegan worked hard to solve the mystery, and was a very active character who never sat around waiting for someone else to fix her problems. I liked her a lot.
Oh, and the cover is really cute! Artist did a good job.
