When the Crows Call: A Prequel

by Trish Beninato

In my dreams, I feel the Earth scream in pain and remember a place more fantastical than dreams are capable of creating. My name is Morgan, and in all my seventeen years of being a ward of the state of Massachusetts, the only constant in my chaotic life has been Logan. A young orphan left with he scars of the fire that took his parents. Logan is the only one who knows my secrets, and the magic inside me. He’s the little brother I never had and I’ll protect him at all costs. So when we find ourselves adopted and sent to Ireland, it seems good things are finally happening. Only, Ireland is full of magic and its own secrets. Nothing is really as it seems. And when one of our foster parents finally show up, I’m left with a decision that will forever break my heart but save a world beyond the only one I’ve ever known. A decision that will change me forever.

A wonderful beginning!

This novella is a wonderful start to what I can already see will be a good series!

Full of heart wrenching emotions, hope and magic this prequel leaves little to be desired. It gives us a glimpse into the life of the survivor Morgan and her journey to returning to her true form Morrigan.

A quick read and a must read for anyone interested in mythical stories. Very much enjoyed and highly recommended. I cannot wait to see where this series takes us!

This is great! The author really got into the main character's head -- an angry orphan with supernatural abilities. There's a lot of layers and emotion. I found the climax/ending that gets a bit more into the fantasy side of things to be a bit fast paced, but since this is a prequel, I'm now just eager to read more!

I’m always eager to read any story about the Tuatha De Danann, and this didn’t disappoint. The depth of feeling in such a short story blew me away. I’m very interested to see where Morgan’s story is headed and see the other characters be fleshed out further.
