The epic continues…
Quinn Sinclair trusted Arik Morgaine until he betrayed her.
Scared and alone, she finds herself delivered into the hands of the evil
Morgana le Fay. When Quinn discovers Morgana's plans are beyond demented and
seriously depraved—making life with the Changeling seem like a day at the
beach—she wonders if death is a better option?
Arik Morgaine vowed he'd save Quinn no matter the price.
When his well thought out plans go terribly awry, a desperate and heartbroken
Arik is forced to beg the cruel Triarchia for help. Unwilling to go on without

Can Arik and Quinn find a way back to each other, or will
the price of saving her rip them apart forever?

Thanks for coming to my page. About me, hmm? What to say? I
was born in California, lived in England for a time, then settled in
Albuquerque, New Mexico. Today much of my time is spent in the Land of Make
Believe, visiting my characters, encouraging them to tell me their stories. Now
they won’t shut the frak up! If you write, you know what I mean. If you don’t,
you probably think I’m insane. Guess what? You’re right!
At ten, I moved to England for a year and half, living with
my brother and sister-in-law who were stationed at Upper Heyford Air Force
Base. I went to an English school in Chipping Norton. Being the only American
in an all British school was quite the experience. It was here I was introduced
to the world of fantasy—Lord of the Rings to be exact—as well as Celtic
mythology. This experience forever influenced my love of reading—from fantasy,
urban fantasy, paranormal romance, and contemporary romance. And in case you’re
wondering, I adore Harry Potter. Seriously, who doesn’t? If you don’t, uh, keep
it to yourself.
I’d like to tell you writing has been my lifelong pursuit,
that I’ve written all my life. But honestly, almost four years ago, I stumbled
upon it by accident. Now, I can’t imagine my life without it. I’ve always had
an active imagination but it never translated to the page. During an extended
stay at home due to medical issues, and bored out of my skull, I sat down at my
computer, and started writing memories from days gone by. Those memories turned
into a story, and I started to wonder if I had it in me to write an entire
novel. Encouraged by a writer friend I opened my mind and let characters have
free rein. Before I knew it, months had passed and I was well into my first
novel. Long story short, three and a half years later—and three rewrites—my
first novel, Colour Wielders was complete and accepted by Curiosity Quills
Press. The first book in the Heirs of the Magykal Realm will be published late
in 2012 or early 2013.
Besides writing my other passions are my husband, my dogs,
and Football. My team is the Miami Dolphins—sadly, I don’t have high hopes for
the 2012-2013 season. Don’t be surprised when at least one of my blog posts, on
Raver’s Rants and Raves, includes an outpouring of grief over the Fin’s
performance, but I will try to keep my public dissatisfaction to a minimum. At
least I have the Manning brothers. Though Peyton in Denver Bronco colors is
just, well, disturbing.
I hope you enjoy your visits here, and in particular, enjoy
my Comic Reviews. I look forward to connecting with new people and making
friends. Can’t wait for your comments.
Cheers!

My Review:
This was such a great story, filled with courage, love, hope, and despair. All the makings of a great story.
The book had me crying at times, asking questions and holding onto the last page obsorbing every last deail to the end. I loved and hated Quinn. I loved her for many reasons, reasons I think a reader needs to read the book to find out. I hated her for the bratiness she presented. Granted understood it, still it was a turn off for me. As for Arik I loved him in this book. He grew up and that was wonderful to watch. Part of growing up is making those hard decisions. Many like the one he faced where it is a yes or no question. Either answer leaving you in a no win situtation.
Growing up with these types of stories I feel that Ms. Raver did a wonderful job putting the story together for a compelling read. Great Job.
Put this on your TBR list readers.

Blurb/Synopsis:
Behind the Faerying Mysts, hidden from Mortal eyes, is a
land where gods and creatures of myth and legend dwell. And in the Mortal
Realm, their Princess is hidden away.
Quinn Sinclair lives an ordinary life with her
less-than-loving mother in Conifer, Colorado, clueless of her true nature. On
the night of her birthday, a staggering betrayal sends her life spinning
out-of-control. As she struggles to pick up the pieces, a vision of a man with
haunting tourmaline-blue eyes begs her for help, and she is transported into a
Magykal battle-forever changing her life.
Arik Morgaine—Demigod bad boy and outcast of the Magykal
Realm—tried to avoid contact with Princess Quinn for eighteen years, not
wanting to make good on an old threat. But the fates have other plans. Arik can
no longer deny his growing desire for Quinn, or the need to protect her from
those wanting to control her burgeoning powers.
Can the two of them come together and save the Magykal Realm
from being destroyed by the Darkest of Magyks?

Thank you so much for the review. I'm so glad you enjoy the story. Yes, I knew people wouldn't like Quinn for most of this story, but it was necessary. In Faithful Colours coming out later this year, you'll see Quinn in a totally different light and Arik will have a few tricks up his sleeve as well!
