But someone betrays Ruby and the soldiers come to her village and they kill her mother and take Ruby prisoner. Eventually, Ruby is freed from prison by a group of rebel Frostbloods who ask her to help them in a plot to overthrow the current Frostblood king. She agrees to help them since she would like nothing more than to revenge her mother’s death.
Ruby trains with the rebels who insist that she is a very powerful Fireblood who needs to learn to control and maximize her powers. But before her training is complete she is captured again and is taken to the king’s castle where she is forced to show her strength or die. And now she has a chance to avenge her mother’s death if only she felt more prepared.
This YA fantasy takes place in a well-designed world that is governed by the power of the elements of wind, fire and ice. This fantasy world of course is affected by the good and evil in each of these elements. The characters in the book embody those traits. Ruby and Arcos are the good in the world and King Rasmus is the evil. Therefore, the plot is an intriguing battle between good and evil. Ruby is a strong bold character that needs bolstering now and then. Arcus is strong and powerful but is also moody and kind. Many other characters even though minor are well defined. As readers advance through the story, they also learn that characters are not always what we perceive them to be.
The book should appeal to both teen girls and boys. There is a slight bit of romance to lure the female teen reader and there are many battle scenes for the male reader’s enjoyment. Even though there are other books on the market that have similar fantastical elements, YA readers always seem to be open to reading another new fantasy series.
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the advanced reader copy of this book.
