EBOOK – BOOK 1 OF THE SECRET CHRONICLES OF LOST MAGIC

Fantasy that's truly EPIC.

The Raven

When a foreign tribe attacks the peaceful Onan people, a lonely outcast is forced to reveal her secret gift – but can she save herself and the clan?

It is the darkest time in winter, when suns, moons, and stars all wane from the sky. In the Wolf clan, a baby is born with a powerful gift, but dangerous omens brand her an Outcast, and the Elders name her Iluna.

Iluna struggles to find her place in the proud and distrustful Wolf clan. Rejection and loneliness threaten to take their toll, but as Iluna’s powers bloom, she discovers a mysterious and unexpected ally.

Dark magic, war, and treachery soon jeopardize the life of every clan member; many suspect Iluna and her gift.

Is this Outcast girl to blame, or is she salvation? Iluna must decide: save the clan who have always shunned her, or save herself.

Engrossing!!

Fantastic story of Iluna, an outcast in her tribe, with a very unique magical ability. I absolutely loved it. There's a good follow up story called The Doom Of Arlg-Teg,well worth a read, especially for those who felt they needed to know what came next for Iluna!! Well worth my time. The rest of the series, which focuses on different time periods but has an underlying theme is fantastic too!!

Well Done!

This stand alone fantasy novel by Aderyn Wood is one of the best sagas I've read in a while. The world building is exceptional but not tedious. The story has everything a reader wants- magic, traditions, mystery and depth. Characters r well developed and the plot suspenseful. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

A different fantasy world

When the power of ancient myths and superstitions in the Wolf clan deem a newborn infant an Outcast, only the brave convictions of the tribe shaman saves her from being used as a sacrifice. Iluna grows up shunned, and with powers she must keep hidden away. Is she the curse her people fear or is she the salvation they will desperately need to survive as dark magic and evil treachery threatens to stamp out the lives around her? When war threatens to devour those around her, Iluna must take a stand, but will it be enough to save those around her or will their fears and suspicions come to life?

Enter into a fantasy world where primitive clans live their lives around faceless gods, superstitions and fear of anyone who is different. Follow Iluna’s struggles, her loneliness and discover the powers she possesses as Aderyn Wood transports us into another time and place where magic takes on a dark or light calling in a classic battle between good and evil. The Raven is fantasy that feels epic, like there is so much more to learn living in the world created by Ms. Wood in future additions to this brilliant series. Wonderful world building, deep enough to whisk the reader away, characters that sometimes feel fuzzy, almost as if saying their relevance will soon be nil and in-depth detail on the “stars” of this series, Aderyn Wood has done a wonderful job of stamping her style on the world of fantasy! What I enjoyed most was the slightly different, reader-friendly approach, never relying on a strict use of old feeling language, but giving these people a language of their own, intermixed between contemporary usage and the feeling of "long ago." This is fantasy, fresh from the mind and heart of the author and it feels right!

I received this copy from Aderyn Wood in exchange for my honest review.
