Shelby Pardow never imagined killing someone. That's about to change.
While hiding from her troubled father in the local library, Shelby stares at a flashing instant message on her computer: YOU ARE NEEDED. She discovers a portal that opens and teleports her to the planet Azimuth, where soldiers await. Here, she is not a child but a warrior, Kin to one of the six Aulic Assembly members imprisoned by Malefic Cacoethes, the daunting leader of the Nightlanders.
Malefic, the evil spawn of the demon Biskara, razes towns and cities in his quest to rule Azimuth, and yearns to turn his forces against Earth. Yet every time Biskara gets close to achieving his malevolent goals, the Assembly uses the Silver Sphere, a sophisticated armillary device, to thwart him.
With the Assembly deposed, Biskara directing Malefic's conquests, and the Silver Sphere out of reach, Shelby is thrust into an unforgettable quest with her fellow Kin. She must learn to kill and lead an army into battle, or Azimuth—and Earth—will fall.
My Review:
In a post Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter world it is refreshing to see new original story lines. That is exactly what this author has done. I loved the feel of the book and really enjoyed the originality of the story. A small group of children have to save the their world and ours. The great character development and the unique traits of each character made me longing for a sequel. The ending was definitely and ending, but there was room left for a sequel.
This was an easy read and I enjoyed it very much. I am giving this book a 5/5 and hope for a sequel. However I am willing to read anything by this author! I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own!
I also loved the names that this author created. Definitely a world worth reading about!
