Description

Classic fantasy meetsSupermanin this YA sci-fantasy tale of colliding worlds, exploring the boundaries of a fantasy world—what holds one together, and what can unravel it? Follow me on this journey through the eyes of Lyn, the teenage girl caught in the middle. If you like Brandon Sanderson, you will enjoy the hard worldbuilding, clean prose and punchy action that underlines this series.

Book #1 — Mani:

Welcome toMani (MAW-nee), the silver world. For one thousand years, humans have walked the face of Mani, kings and lords and magi, wielders of the great elemental forces. In the white city of Nytaea, an orphanage is burned to the ground. With everyone she ever loved dead or kidnapped,Lynand her last remaining friend set out to rescue their loved ones from the clutches of a tyrant king. But when the princess herself and a powerful High Mage pull her into their confidence, Lyn is swept into a larger tale of ancient history and deep secrets—ones with personal relevance to her. For a girl can only for so long hide the fact that a monster lurks inside her, a brutal strength unknown to her world.

Book #2 — Gaea:

The ambitious, genre-twisting sequel.Gaeacontinues Lyn's journey on Planet Gaea, her ancestral home ruled by conquerors of science and nature and humanity itself. Follow Lyn as she navigates a post-cataclysm world of superpowers, tyrants and alien predators—all while chased by her own haunting origins and those who want to use her.

    Wonderful book! An interesting tale set in a mysterious world full of adventure and magic. Captivating from the start, full of intrigue, and only gets better as the story progresses. Likeable characters. There is plenty to explore and expand upon in the sequel. Very excited to read that. I highly recommend Mani!

    I find the novel entertaining with much anticipation for the rest the trilogy. The world is fascinating with a neat magic system. The characters are fun, and I found myself caring about them and their endeavors. I want them to succeed; I want them to punch the Archlord in his smug face. (Whether or not that happens in the book, you'll have to see for yourself.) The main villain of the story is particularly intriguing, pretty well written. Overall, it is enjoyable.
