Oooh lovelies do I have a lovely book to share with you today....
So by now I am sure you know why host this post... *Tee hee* My silly humour.
My reading radar is for me to keep track of all the awesome books or series I come across, but cannot really afford to get at the moment because my bookshelf is currently overflowing and to be honest I probably have enough reading material to last me the rest of my life plus a the next one!
It is not only for books that are going to be released but also for books that I discover while traveling through the blogsphere.
So where did I discover this book that that I literally want to abandon my current read and dive into?? On a favourite blog of mine called: The Reader and The Chef. As if the blurb isn't enough to grab my attention.. check out their review!!
I love a good mortal versus god/goddess type story line, mixed with some star-crossed lovers... Almost like a Romeo and Juliet feel... YES PLEASE <3

Burn brightly. Love fiercely. For all else is dust.
Every child of Glasnith learns the last words of Aillira, the god-gifted mortal whose doomed love affair sparked a war of gods and men, and Lira of clan Stone knows the story better than most. As a descendant of Aillira and god-gifted in her own right, she has the power to read people's souls, to see someone's true essence with only a touch of her hand.
When a golden-haired warrior washes up on the shores of her homeland--one of the fearful marauders from the land of the Frozen Sun--Lira helps the wounded man instead of turning him in. After reading his soul, she realizes Reyker is different than his brethren who attack the coasts of Glasnith. He confides in her that he's been cursed with what his people call battle-madness, forced to fight for the warlord known as the Dragon, a powerful tyrant determined to reignite the ancient war that Aillira started.
As Lira and Reyker form a bond forbidden by both their clans, the wrath of the Dragon falls upon them and all of Glasnith, and Lira finds herself facing the same tragic fate as her ancestor. The battle for Lira's life, for Reyker's soul, and for their peoples' freedom has only just begun.

I'm a bit late to the party, but I think I saw this book promoted on someone else's blog last week... Nevertheless, I am really into the story concept and in fact, it's already on my Goodreads wishlist!
ReplyDeleteYep I found it on the blog tour not so long ago... Re-reading the post makes me want to drop my read and pick this one up all over again ha ha ha <3
