But the Kingdom needs only one huntress to save it, and what it takes could tear Kaede and Taisin apart forever. As members of their party succumb to unearthly attacks and fairy tricks, the two come to rely on each other and even begin to fall in love. And yet the two girls’ destinies are drawn together during the mission. Taisin is a sage, thrumming with magic, and Kaede is of the earth, without a speck of the otherworldly. To solve the crisis, the oracle stones are cast, and Kaede and Taisin, two seventeen-year-old girls, are picked to go on a dangerous and unheard-of journey to Tanlili, the city of the Fairy Queen. The people’s survival hangs in the balance. Worse yet, strange and hostile creatures have begun to appear. The sun hasn’t shone in years, and crops are failing. Nature is out of balance in the human world. Here’s the publisher’s intro to the plot: I keep looking for a missing chapter, or, better yet, a sequel. However, romance fans should know that the ending is bittersweet, and while I can accept a bittersweet ending in fantasy (this is marketed as fantasy, not romance) it felt unfinished. It’s beautifully written and exciting and magical. Genre: LGBTQIA, Science Fiction/Fantasy, Young Adult
