Publisher Description

She was forced to serve, but destined to lead.

In the ancient and mystical land of Muirwood, orphan Lia has known only a life of servitude. Labeled a “wretched,” an outcast unwanted and unworthy of respect, Lia is forbidden to read or write, and forced to work in the Abbey kitchen. Lia appears all but resigned to her fate, until opportunity arises when an injured squire named Colvin is abandoned at the kitchen’s doorstep.

Lia conspires to hide Colvin and change her life forever, but her plan becomes a perilous one when a nefarious sheriff starts a manhunt for Colvin. In the midst of a land torn by a treacherous war between a ruthless king and a rebel army, Lia finds herself on an ominous journey that will push her to wonder if her own hidden magic is enough to set things right.

"I'll admit, I was told such great things about this book that at first I was underwhelmed, but after a couple chapters I was totally into it. The book is so well written and I love the characters. They are so real, with strenths and weaknesses and emotions. I am so excited to get to read the next two!!!"

    " I really enjoyed the story and premise, but the writing wasn't quite as polished as it could have been and there were a lot of extra words which got in the way of the pacing. I also had a hard time "losing myself" in the story - I was often reminded that I was reading by the writing style. "

    " I read the whole trilogy, so the story was good enough, but as it went on it got more overtly Christian than I'm really comfortable with. Also, women as the root of all evil isn't my favorite theme. "

    " While I somewhat enjoyed the storytelling in this book, and the writing is good, the "deus ex machina" nature of The Medium is troubling to me. But it's not a bad story, so enjoy if you like this type of fiction. "
