Trapped within the cruel world of hormones and bullies, fifteen-year-old Aiden is convinced life has more to offer him. His instincts are proven correct on the night he is awakened by a voice calling to him from outside his window. As he sleepily peers into his yard, his eyes slowly focus on a woman who says she is there to take him to Eden. Aiden is about to fulfill the life purpose he never knew he had.
It is in Eden, a land on the brink of war, where Aiden will finally learn to trust himself and those around him. Accompanied by Wolf, his sidekick Logan, and the beautiful archer, Elisa, Aiden is soon thrust into a battle to save Eden. Meanwhile Elisa, the only girl in the King's Army, is in the midst of her own struggles. Betrothed to a man she has no intention of marrying, Elisa is caught between the need to prove herself and her desire for true happiness. And now that she has met Aiden, she is more confused than ever.
In this action-packed fantasy tale, romance, adventure, and intrigue surround Aiden as he learns just what he is capable of when he discovers confidence and courage
My review:
This book was given to me to read and review by the author.
This book was different to the style books I normally read, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.
This story is a definite fantasy, its a cross between A Game of Thrones and the Hunger Games, once taken back to the past each person chosen is the best skilled in their field and is delegated to represent their castle to be the front line of defence to protect the land. North West East and South are all represented which gives it the GOT familiarity feelings.
I am a romance fiend, and although there wasn't much of a romantic nature in the story line it still captured my interest and I cannot wait to read book 2-4.
Another great 4 star story from Janelle Stalder, I am so pleased you found me and I am more than happy to read all material you produce
