Narrado por: KL Hagaman

As their territory is thrown into chaos, princess Lilja and her keeper, a unique guardian by the name of Kaden, must find a resolution and return peace to a people driven by fear. But how does one exactly restore a fallen kingdom if they can’t even remember it?

After an incident of war, Lilja has found herself just there - lost inside her own mind and a stranger to her very existence. Their destinies entwined, Lilja and Kaden’s only hope rests in the hands of a magic wielder whose price for salvation may just be more dangerous than the war itself. Together they must forge a path to save their civilization, but first they will need to come to terms with who they both truly are, because the past is always just around the corner.

Read Everything to Me

Hagaman's narration of her own novel is magic. She takes me right to the setting with her tone and tempo.

Not entirely my go to genre, but I was glad to pick it up. Fantastic characters and working back through the unlocking of memories. Royalty and war and magic and budding romance. So many good aspects. I didn't pick up totally on the sci-fi vibe until I realized that airships were involved. With two more novels following, I'm sure this will be a great run!

4.5 Out of 5 Stars

A whimsical young adult fantasy read with real emotional stakes. This story is a slow burning and heartwarming adventure mixed with life lessons. Just when you think the focus is on one of the main characters Lilja, Kaden's story slowly bubbles up to the surface and takes wing. I really liked how it all came together at the end. I especially loved the artwork and beautiful scrolls on the cover that are a magical eyecatcher.

Excellent start to the series!

These books are already great. But the storytelling and voice acting on this is just stellar 🙌 you can tell a lot of love and thought went into all of it.

Worth a look for sure. Excited to hear more!
