Review

This is an epic fantasy and I loved every minute of this beautiful story. The author has created such vivid imagery and amazing characters that one can't help but fall in love with them.

This is a world where Singers rule every city on a secluded island. But when the island is invaded by Thistly Jemilla is there only hope. She is a daughter of a Singer and the only one who is brave enough to do something against the invaders. Thistly killed or captured all of the islanders. Jemilla ran away and now she is on a mission to sing her father back to life. Then he will know how to save them all.

Unfortunately, not everything goes as planned and there are secrets that no one knows about. Things forgotten in history books and they will threaten their world once again. Will Jemilla be able to help her fellow islanders until the very end or is their island doomed?

This is one thrilling story that won't bore you at all. The world created in this book is tragic and beautiful both at the same time. The story is fun to read and it ends well, which is another plus. Overall, it's a great read and I'd definitely recommend it to all fantasy lovers.
