Coffee for Two Book Review: Best of Fantasy Authors of 2019
UTOPiAcon Debut Book Award Nominee
An oath betrayed. A centuries-long curse. Nikka inherits the unimaginable task of unraveling it all.
In a world of magic, I was unremarkable, except for my cursed, stuttering tongue. No special powers, no renowned apprenticeship, just the terrible, stammering aftereffects of the Lilac Plague.
Until I opened a gift from my mother -- a ghostly blue vision.
Instead of words of endearment, the vision revealed that I'm now a Guardian. And I'm entrusted with a magical key -- one so powerful that those who rule will do anything to find it.
The burden of protecting the key now falls to me. In a race against the crown, I must find the treasure and the true heir, the only one who can stop the curse from being fulfilled. Impossible? Almost certainly. One false step spells disaster. But while I've learned to be cautious, I'm no fool. Where those before me died trying, I must forge a new path, relying on wits and some unlikely allies.
Do you dare face the Lilac Plague? This coming of age, young adult fantasy adventure with mysterious magic, evil emperors, and a thread of romance will leave you amazed and clamoring for the next book.
