Lives of Magic by Toronto author Lucy Leiderman is the 1st in her Seven Wanderers Trilogy of YA Celtic-inspired low fantasy epic quest novels involving teens whose half-remembered past lives as mages in ancient Britannia are the key to thwarting an ancient evil which has arisen again in the modern world, free courtesy of Canadian specialty publisher Dundurn.
This is the iTunes Canada store's featured Free Book of the Week. Currently free, probably just through Monday @ Amazon (available to Canadians and in the UK), Kobo & iTunes & Google Play (all available to Canadians, and probably most places worldwide, since I spot-checked iTunes Denmark and it's free there as well). If you happen to enjoy this one and would like to read the rest of it, Dundurn books are couponable at Kobo and they often have money-saving omnibus editions. Although this trilogy is only published as far as #2, from what I can see. And this has been the selected 3rd (non-repeat) free ebook thread of the day. Because girl-centric YA fantasy quest adventures which seem to have an emphasis on strong interpersonal relationships which aren't the standard mentor/student type or composed primarily of romantic elements automatically get ![]() Plus, I'm kind of a sucker for "kidnapped to save the alternate world" types of adventures. Although technically, this one isn't quite an alternate world. And this one's Canadian, as well, and offered (probably) worldwide. So it's like a hat trick of potential reading kink awesome. Enjoy! Description Seventeen-year-old Gwen is settling into her new home in Oregon and looking forward to senior year when she is kidnapped by Kian, who warns her that she is in terrible danger. An ancient war was fought between magical Celtic warriors and three evil magicians. Those magicians are alive and well and need Gwen's magic to regain their power. If they succeed, they'll be unstoppable. To save the world, Gwen must unlock the magic trapped in her memories of a past life in Britannia. As Gwen starts to recover her lost memories and awakens to her power, she suffers the consequences of a divided soul. Gwen and Kian travel to New York and then to England to find others of her kind. Gwen, Garrison, Seth, and Moira need each other to solve the puzzle of their last days in ancient Britannia. They are only as strong as what they remember, but a troublesome history threatens to doom the world. One way or another, a deadly showdown is inevitable, ready or not ... |
