Echoes of Hollow and Ember The Scorched Divide: Book One

Magic has always been their hindrance. Now, it's their gift-and their only weapon in a war they never asked for. Magic was once their greatest weakness. Now, it's their only gift-and their only weapon in a war they never wanted.

THE RUNES SISTERS

For as long as they can remember, sisters Leola and Juniper Runes have lived as mundane beings in a world that favors magic-wielders while oppressing their kind. When a ruthless regime seizes control of Heri, their lives are uprooted as they discover a secret that changes everything.They become pivotal to ending a decades-long war.

Hunted by a powerful immortal and torn from the world they thought they knew, the sisters are forced to discover themselves amongst a landscape of betrayal, rebellion, and impossible choices. When one of them finds love in an unlikely ally in the midst of doom, the value of victory becomes even greater.
As war rages around them, they'll be forced to choose: surrender to fate or forge their own destiny-no matter the price.

BENN

From his first breath, he was forged for war-honed into a dual-powered weapon, built to defeat the enemy. Finally initiated into the secret society that has controlled his entire existence, he is vastly disappointed when he meets his companions-The Prophesied Pair, two sisters who are supposed to be essential to the war. He learns that they have spent their life hiding in the shadows, adding to his disillusionment of winning the war.

Will the companionship between Benn and the sisters lead to their ruin, or will he get a firsthand look at why the Gods chose the Runes girls in the first place?


Perfect for fans of fast-paced dark fantasy, multi-POV storytelling, sibling bonds, dystopian and historical themes, and slow-burn romance.

Strong heroines? Check. Immersive plot and worldbuilding? Double check. Echoes is a must-read fantasy and follows sisters Leola and Juniper as they learn of a prophecy involving them, endure political intrigue and fight against a regime that oppresses their kind.

I loved the bond between the sisters. Leola being the protective older sister who knew when to pull back and let her sister handle things. The familial dynamics of the characters and the complex emotions as they navigate hidden secrets and the dystopian world was well written and makes the reader sympathize with the situations.

The magic system was awesome and the training scenes had me smiling at my Kindle. There was a slow-burn romance that was okay (I'm not a fan of slow burn) but the banter between characters was so good. Overall this was a fantastic debut and with the twists and turns plus the ENDING?! Add this to your summer reading ASAP!
