Review "Great start to an exciting series!" --David Estes, best-selling author of the Fatemarked epic "I was not able to put this book down!" --Amazon reviewer "I LOVED this book!" --Goodreads reviewer "A high fantasy book with action, intrigue, and adventure." --Amazon reviewer "...kept me reading until it was nearly 2 in the morning." --Goodreads reviewer "A must-read!" --Amazon reviewer "I cannot recommend this book enough!" --Amazon reviewer From the Author Is Halia's gift for knowing the truth a curse or a blessing? The concept for Silent Kingdom came to me when I was thinking about how people handle the truth. It made me wonder what sort of trouble someone could get into if they had a gift that showed them the truth and compelled them to voice it. What would happen if you knew a dark secret that could cost you your life, and your gift wouldn't let you hold it back? Fantasies like Lord of the Rings inspired me, making me want to create a world readers could get lost in and a plot that would keep them on the edges of their seats. From that first concept that gave birth to Halia's gift, my world for this series grew and grew, until I was creating new monsters and dreaming up conflicted characters to get tangled up in Halia's adventures.
