She's broken. She's dangerous. She wants revenge. And she has nothing left to lose...

Quistix Dedumal, an elf blacksmith, suffers a tragic, devastating loss the night a bandit invades her humble Bellaneau home in search of something called “The Illuminator.” After months of crushing loneliness, the disheveled half-elf is out for blood, seeing revenge on the man who shattered her once-contented life.

Soon, a wounded wyl, a brilliant esteg, and child-like dragonling soon join her on her cross-country journey, banding together in a riotous, misfit crew. But Destoria is a dangerous place. The isle is bursting with clever hybrid creatures, floating magical cities, budding romance, treacherous backstabbers, underwater creatures, infuriated inelm trees, drug-addled bandits, magical abilities, snow-encrusted landscapes, unique weaponry, and the Isle's sadistic, dikeeka-peddling new queen: Exos Tempest.

Magical beings

Great magical fantasy story. Leaves waiting for next book to see if good overcomes evil.

Heartbreaking

Quistix has a sad story, but she eventually meets up with her band of misfits as they travel through Destoria. The characters are fun in ther travels and commentary. I think the dragonling is my favorite character so fast. This book had me from the start and I cannot wait for more to come out in their travels.

A Whole New Whole to Explore

Lovers of High Fantasy will love this story. I want to read more about this alternative world. The characters are so relatable that I cared what happened to them. High Fantasy is one of my favorite genres. I highly recommend this story.

borderline

I tried listening to this book a couple of times and just couldn't get into it. It has a decent storyline and all but it just didn't grab my attention.

Well done

This books takes you immediately into another world. The writing is very descriptive and entertaining. I will read another one by this author.
