ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 2, 2023
We venture forth, adding color to this mysterious, ever-changing world.
A Sky Rider, a sage, and a spirit-forced together, they must find a way to navigate barriers of language, race, and time. Each needs the other to succeed, yet each has a distinct reason for doing so.

REVIEW: I’ll be perfectly honest, I didn’t have a clue as to what I was going to be reading. The blurb wasn’t helpful, and the cover wasn’t exactly eye catching. But after reading the first page, I realised I wouldn’t be putting this book down until the last page.
Ashe/Raez/Thian all have their own stories and they do converge and mingle, it gets clearer the further you get into the book. You’d think it would be repetitive reading three points of view of the same thing….. But funnily enough it wasn’t, each point of view added another layer to the story.
Ashe is our fearless sky rider, and my favourite character. She speakers her mind and isn’t afraid to leap into the unknown. After being asked by her lover to stay and be his emissary (which she wasn’t keen on doing) Ashe is ready for an adventure, to see more of the world, and she definitely gets that…..
It’s a beautifully written book, I don’t want to give too much away, I’d advise you to go in blind (don’t read the reviews) I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
And at 336 pages long, it feels like a short read, probably because I read it in a day ? but it packs plenty of action and adventure, a little romance, and a couple of moments that will make you think ?
How the three meet and move on with their lives after connecting, had me smiling…. It was like ships that pass in the night, but the passing left a profound mark on all three of the characters….
The ending does leave you wondering if there would be a second book. ?
I really liked it and would be happy to read more, or this one again and again ?
