For sixteen years, Laurelin Moore has been keeping a secret. She is a whisperer, and she knows that to reveal her gift now is a dangerous risk. Past whisperers have been exploited for their power. But Ausland’s queen is dead and acknowledging her magic is her only chance at becoming a Rook in the Pentax—a competition that will decide the kingdom’s next ruler.

Laurelin isn’t in it for the crown, though. She’s after the wish that will be granted to the victor. A wish that would save her dying brother, Pippin. But there are dangerous undercurrents to the competition, and Laurelin finds herself at the center of it. She begins to search for answers and discovers a secret with the potential to shatter the entire kingdom.

Book Review:

The Hunger Games but with magic! I loved the addition of magic and magical creatures to this competition-inspired novel. Though Laurelin enters the competition for her brother, there’s a lot going on behind the scenes that stretch the imagination and engage the reader. The plot is intense, with things happening left and right that constantly push the story to new levels. I enjoyed Laurelin’s character and her desire to save her brother at all costs. She struggles with the fallout from her actions, making her realistic and personable. If you enjoyed The Hunger Games, The Selection, or To Best the Boys, you should give this book a try. I received a copy of this book from the author through JustRead Tours. I was not required to leave a positive review. All thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.
