King of Ash and Bone

Shattered Realms, Book 1

When flying monsters break through the veil into her world, Mackenzie Scott has nothing left to lose. Her brother has been taken, her future has vanished, and all that remains is a desperate need for revenge. After discovering the breach the creatures used as a gateway, Mackenzie devises a plan to stop them, whatever the cost.

When she finds an injured stranger in the street, he just might be the key she needs to succeed. What Mackenzie doesn't know is that this stranger isn't the helpless boy he appears to be - and he's got plans of his own.

Thrown into a dying city in another realm, Mackenzie is powerless to get back. With the gateway closing, time is not on her side. But the stranger is, and if they can escape execution, this girl and her monster might be able to save both their worlds.

Good Story

My biggest and only real complaints the length and depth. My fist foray into other world fiction was Lord of the rings. So I am forever tainted so a 4 star rating is the best I will ever give besides Wheel of Time, Game of Thrones and Harry Potter. That being said I love original stories! This seems like it should be a screen play or made for TV movie.
Hope the next books delves a little deeper.

So close

It’s so close to being a great story but I felt that there were so many gaps in the story telling. I felt more confused at the end than anything. I read a lot of fantasy so keeping up wasn’t a problem it just felt lacking
