Synopsis from jacket:
In a time of deadly crisis, Linden alone has the power to save her people.
The faeries of the Oak are in danger of extinction, and their only hope for survival rests in fifteen-year-old Linden. Armed with the last of her people’s magic, she travels bravely into the modern human world. Along the way she makes a reluctant ally – a human boy named Timothy.
Soon Linden and Timothy discover a danger much worse than the Oakenfolk’s loss of magic: a potent evil that threatens to enslave faeries and humans alike. In a fevered, desperate chase across the country, Tim and Linden must risk their lives to seek an ancient power before it’s too late to save everyone they love.
R.J. Anderson has artfully crafted a world of stunning magic, thrilling adventure, and delicate beauty, where the key to the future is in an unexpected, forbidden friendship.
Was This Book Worth My Time?
Yep.
I was a little worried when I read the synopsis. I thought to myself, “Eh, I’ll give this book a try, but if this is another paranormal romance novel I might throw up.”
Little did I know I was in for a nice surprise. This novel isn’t your typical girl falls in love with a werewolf, pixie, vampire, or any other crazy creature. Instead, this is a novel packed full of love for a community and the fight to save what matters most.
Anderson writes a beautiful and captivating story of a young girl on a quest to keep her faery community safe from an Empress who threatens to overtake their world and demand their allegiance to her. Anderson takes her readers on a journey through England as Linden and, her human friend, Tim try to find the one thing that might keep the Empress at bay.
This novel is mysterious, fast-paced, and full of page turning events.
What Bothered Me?
Not a thing.
