However, that is just what happens when the mysterious Faerie, Rothatin Longspear, appears to her, tasking her with saving a parallel world full of creatures from her wildest dreams.
Jocylene journeys with him into the world of Fallada, hoping for answers about her birth parents and background. What she finds is a mystifying past, and an even more uncertain future, as her heart becomes entangled with the stoic, battle-hardened Rothatin, as well as Eli, the untroubled Panther Shifter with no loyalties and no home. With her heart and soul pulled in so many directions, can
Jocylene find the strength needed to become the savior one nation so desperately needs?
Review:
I really enjoyed this book. The first one was good but I had a hard time getting into the story. Not so with this book. I really loved the characters and the story development. Jocylene is just like any other teenage or so it seems. I liked how she was a strong character, she did not back down. Her role in saving the kingdom of Fallada seems hard at first but the more "people" she meets along her journey the easier it becomes. Her feelings for the faerie and the panther were very mixed message but the care she has for both of them shines thru. When the time comes for battle she meets her mother and sister and sheds lots of tears for those around her. In the end she finds answers to some of the questions she has, like who are her parents....

The Lost Kingdom of Fallada Series
These are dark times in the land of Fallada, and I fear that they will only continue to grow darker. Only the return of those we’ve lost will even the score.
It will begin with first line of the prophecy, which foretells of a red sun over the desert sky…
--Adrah, Queen of the Fae
On the outside, seventeen year-old Selena McKinley is like any other teenage girl. Yet Selena has always felt as if she doesn’t belong and is counting the days to graduation and her freedom from the small town that makes her feel so out of place, when the arrival of a stranger turns her world upside down. Selena will learn just how different she is and the truth of where she comes from.
A lost princess, they call her, the catalyst for a war involving a world that Selena was taken from as a child. An evil queen obsessed with her own beauty with a plan to enslave the human race.…the notion seems so silly, yet Selena knows in her heart that it is true. Then there is Titus, the shape shifter whose blue eyes and claims of destiny hold her heart captive. Can Selena find the strength to do what she must while following her heart?

Prequel: Beyond The Iron Gate (A Lost Kingdom of Fallada Novella)
In the year 1845, before the mystical land of Fallada was separated from the realm of men forever, the two worlds coexisted in harmony. Man could mingle freely in the world of the Elves and Faeries at will and peace reigned. In the hills of Shropshire, England, just miles from the gate separating the village of Ludlow from the world of mystical creatures, farmer’s daughter Zara Wells longs for answers. It is not only the golden hair that trail feet behind her, or the strange hue of her violet eyes that separates her from the other girls her village. There is something inside of her, something touched by magic that longs to know more about what lies on the other side of the gate. In Fallada, darkness has begun to spread. As the youngest and most beautiful girls of her village begin to disappear, Zara comes closer to discovering the true circumstances surrounding her birth. Little does she know, that the closer she comes to the answers she so desperately desires, the closer she will come to being ensnared in the dark queen’s web of growing treachery.

I love fairytale remakes especially dark ones thanks for the giveaway
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any fantasy novels, but blog post has convinced me to give it a try.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite fairy tale is Beauty and the Beast. I'm a little obsessed with the movie
ReplyDeleteI've been reading a couple series that are spin offs of grimm fairy tales and I'm so hooked on them! I love Chanda Hahn's and Cameron Jace's.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a huge fan of fairy tale remakes, but I did like Red Riding Hood that just came out as a movie.
ReplyDeleteI think Disney does ok with ones such as The Cinderella stories. We watch the Hillary Duff and Selena Gomez ones when they come on. Modern day version.
ReplyDeleteI have to go with the Disney Cinderella Movies, A Cinderella Story, A Cinderella Story 2 and A Cinderella Movie Once upon a song
