Hopeless
he'll never be more than the boy who didn't save his brother, 17-year-old
Avikar accepts his life as the family stable boy, trying to forget the past.
But when his sister, Jeslyn, is kidnapped, the thought of losing another
sibling catapults him on a desperate quest. With his best friend by his side,
and using the tracking skills he learned from his father, he discovers Jeslyn
has been taken, kidnapped by one Lucino, the young lord of Daath, a mystical
place thought only to exist in fables.
And Lucino has plans for Jeslyn.
His shape-shifting brethren feed off the auras of
humans, and Jeslyn's golden hue is exactly what Lucino needs to increase his
power. The longer it takes Avikar to reach her, the more entranced she becomes
with Lucino's world, and the harder
it will be for Avikar to set her free.
He failed his family once. He won't fail again.
Broken
Forest is told from three alternating perspectives: the
hero, the kidnapped girl and the enchanting lord who may or may not be human.
Writing in the three different POV’s allowed me to delve into each character.
Most high fantasy tends to be written in 3rd person, but I love the
closeness of first. Through each character’s chapters you get a different view
on what their feeling and why they’re doing what they’re doing. Most readers
don’t get to see the villain’s side, well, in Broken Forest you do.
This fantasy is a blend of adventure and romance. A
fast paced read with tons of action that will keep you flipping to the next
page.
