When desperation is a way of life, a single chance to change your fate can be irresistible…

Raven is not a very good fairy.
In fact, in Lorkhit Ka, she’s well known as the fairy who can’t.
In a word where magic wanes as dragons terrorize the countryside, Raven works hard to help her family make ends meet. But solari isn’t easy to come by and bills don’t pay themselves. And she and her centaur boyfriend, Benton, are never going to move into their own place if she can’t keep a job.

With creditors and collectors growing tired of excuses, Raven finds herself presented with an extraordinary opportunity. A high-stakes game with some of the most terrifying creatures in Oriste would allow her to prove herself and solve her money troubles.

Win, and no one will ever call her a failure again. Lose, and her enslavement will be absolute.

REVIEW:

Fairies …. I always see as Tinkerbell from Peter Pan.

But Raven is no Tinkerbelle, in fact the world she lives in is no fun at all….. Dragons are terrorising the world she lives in, (they have stolen most of the magic in the kingdom) Something needs to be done.

Entering a game seems like the only choice Raven has, if she can win, then she can solve her money problems, prove to herself and everyone she isn’t useless and maybe find a way to stop the dragons from destroying her world. Simple ……

But the journey to where the game is being held is dangerous, and coming face to face with a dragon, is almost enough to put Raven back on the road to home. But she has Benton “Ben” with her and he’s one of the reasons she continues with her journey.

The village/town of Cliffhold is where the game is being held, and when both Ben and Raven arrive they are struck with how beautiful and different it is from their home.

The game consists of solving riddles, the winner wins enough gold to last a lifetime, and a magical dagger, this has magical abilities (and Raven’s destiny is tied to this dagger) .Entering the game, Raven knows her future depends on her winning, but her soul is in jeopardy if she doesn’t win (the losers forfeit their souls)

Oh and did I mention Ben is a centaur!!!! And they are a couple.

So does Raven win her game and the dagger? And what happens with the dagger? And what’s her destiny? And does it include Ben?
