Hollis studied her face in the light of the campfire. “So, how does a shepherd girl find herself in the Forest of Fondair, heading to the Kiatri to lead a crusade against the Fontre?”Cassai had untied her braid and was unraveling it. “Not a crusade, a war. Lashai belongs to us. We were free under the Namarielle. The land flourished, and the people had plenty. The Fontre took everything: our … everything: our herds, our crops, our money, they even burned down our churches. Why would they do that?”
Her gaze lingered on the darkness between the trees, and Hollis assumed this was a rhetorical question. “So, we’re going to fight them; our small band of Keepers and anyone else we can find to join us will fight for our Lashai. And if no one else joins, I’ll fight them alone. I just can’t live as their slave. I won’t.”

The development of this very enjoyable Fantasy is deftly done. It draws you in quickly as the story begins to unfold.

You fall in love with these complex characters and want to see them succeed. You can’t stop reading as you follow their journey to save Lashai. Great book!
This book surprised me in some great ways. It was captivating from the start, had a clear good guy vs bad guy (and we really, really hate the bad guys), and had enough mystery and twists to keep me reading! I commend the author on the world building, too. I can’t wait to find out what happens in the second book, The Fontre!
The Fontre (Chronicles of Lashai Book 2)
The Namarielle (Chronicles of Lashai Book 1)
Waiting on the sequel to find out what happens. Enjoyed the characters with each unique background
The author is an exquisite writer! The land of Lashai is written with captivating description. The characters are very well molded, their storylines are entangled in a way that keeps you guessing and wanting more. I absolutely cannot wait for The Fontre to be released! I have been ready to read the rest of the series since I turned the last page of The Namarielle! This is a great read for those who like fantasy, mystery, and adventure!
This book had me hooked from the beginning. Some books take a while to get into, and some just suck you in from the first paragraph and that’s this book! An amazing world full of amazing characters, chock full of fantasy, romance, and action. You wont put this book down until its done.
I have never been a fan of the fantasy genre so I was very skeptical when I realized what book I’d bought. I almost didn’t bother reading it. I’m glad I did! I was hooked and can’t wait to read the rest of this series.
This book was totally amazing! I began reading it the day it was published and finished it in one week. It is full of adventure; strong characters; twisted, crazy plot line; and amazingly crafted scenes that kept me turning the page and staying up way later than I intended. This year has been so long because of the epic ending of The Namarielle; I can’t wait until her next book comes out!
This has got to be one of my favorite books. I love the budding love story mixed in with the evil that is happening around them, it gives the readers a hope to look forward to. I also love Elian’s character!! Even though he grew up his first years of life in a terrible situation and life style he has still remained kind and compassionate. He is a genuine guy. There were a few twists I did not see coming which is always a good thing, keeps the reader into the book. This books just has an airy hopefully feeling to it as you read it. It was well written and different from other fantasy’s I have read!
Amazing book! I could not put it down! So ready to read Book 2!
Wow! What an amazing story: the detail is astounding, the character development is impressive, and the plot line is captivating. Truly the author knows how to keep the reader fully engaged with an amazing, well written story!
