About the author
W.J. May
236 books1,191 followers 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.

Gah!! I really enjoyed this whole series.... up until this book!!
So obviously they win.... but the book simply ends there.... what happened in the aftermath of overturning the ruling family... who is in charge... I have so many questions....
Worst ending to a book series ever!

I liked this series. In fact, the first three books were awesome. The fourth, I had to read to know what happened next since the third book ended with such a cliffhanger! But, by the end of the fourth book and with the fifth one, I found that even though the story was good and there was some action, I was less captivated. The last book was good, better than the previous one, in my opinion. I really like the banter between the characters and I caught myself laughing at some of their replicas.

The end. Loved every minute of every book. I am so sorry the story has ended. I liked the ending except for Eric’s fate.
I am so sorry the story has ended. I enjoyed every minute of every book. I am so sorry there isn’t anymore to read. I liked the ending but did not like Eric’s fate.

I skipped book 5. I wasn't interested in it enough to buy it but I still wanted to read the ending. Honestly, I don't feel I missed much. I got all the answers I wanted and there was very little I didn't understand. No regrets.
I was team Eric so the story lost some luster after book 4. This book was still interesting though.
