The Virtue of Avarice
Morovia is rumored to be the most dangerous land in the world, but for Elise it is a sanctuary from Alba. There is safety from the church and from her twin who hunts her within her uncle's house, but not from her mother's past. As secrets began to unravel, Elise realizes just how much danger she is truly in. What seemed like a guardian spirit when she was younger, now feels like doom closing in. Annwyn pushes her to complete her mother's work while Jessup watches her for any sign of betrayal. It's a delicate dance with the most dangerous of partners and she is running out of time. Both expect her to choose a side, but for Elise there has only ever been one side - hers.

About the author
M.A. McCrackin
6 books21 followersIt is my core belief that a good story should evoke emotions. There should be times when you smile, frown, cry or want to choke the life from the author. You should feel, because if you don’t, then you are not invested. I strive to breathe life into my characters. If they laugh, I want you to smile. If they cry, I want you to sniffle. If I fail in that, then I have failed to tell the story as I see it in my mind.
I don’t try to teach moral lessons with my books. I don’t try to drown you in poetry or suffocate with descriptions. My books are simply written. I seek to entertain and draw you away from the reality you were trying to escape when you picked the book up.
The worlds I create and the characters that fill them are my own escape from reality. My stories are my way to share them. I hope you find the sanctuary in them that I do.

No shy heroine here
For those of you like me who hate that weak, defenseless, or just plain dumb heroine; Elise stands out above the rest. Determined to get what she wants in life and not above stepping on a few to get there. It’s still hard to see her as a villain. Everyone wants her and not in a good way. I loved the twists and turns in the story that keep you guessing. No jumping to what you’re sure is going to happen because this author stops that in its tracks. Re-read this book several times and impatiently waiting for book three.

I loved the first book. This one seemed to drag on and I lost my love for our protagonist. Disappointed.
