Trapped within the dead city of Marandur, Master Mechanic
Mari and Mage Alain must escape both merciless
barbarians and the pitiless Imperial Legion. Beyond those
dangers lie the mightiest and most unforgiving
powers in the world of Dematr: the Great Guilds that rule
the world with iron fists.
Mari's Mechanics Guild and Alain's Mage Guild have always
been enemies, but they are united in wanting to
kill their rogue members before Mari can fulfill the
ancient prophecy of being the one who will finally
overthrow their power. Mari and Alain must risk those
dangers because halfway across their world lies a
place where truth has long been hidden. A place that
could explain why their world's history begins
abruptly, with no hints of what came before. A place
where they might learn how the Mechanics Guild came to
control all technology and how the Mages manage to alter
reality temporarily. A place that might tell them
how to achieve a task that appears to be impossible.
Never before have a Mage and a Mechanic worked together,
and their combined talents offer their only hope.
But she and Alain must first survive the deadly and
implacable Assassins of Altis.
One of my favorites in which I believe the characters were kept real is The Great Gatsby! It's a great classic that I think everyone should read once if they have the chance to. (Lily Shah 1:00am August 6, 2015)
There are two books that I loved. One classic is Gone With the Wind. Another book that was written not that long ago was Roses by Leila Meacham. Those are the only two that come to mind, trying to think, quick on my feet. There are so many books that I've read over the years, that it's hard to pigeonhole a particular book to a category. I feel it's also open to the reader's interpretation. What one reader feels is real might not be real to another, so I'll leave my 2 choices there, instead of adding more. Your latest book sounds very interesting, and I'll be looking forward to reading it. Congratulations!! Mark Twain was one of my favorites growing up, and I loved your quotes thrown in and used as a writing technique!! (Peggy Roberson 9:28am August 6, 2015)
One of the books that kept it real for me goes back to childhood. The Little House on the Prairie books(Series) by Laura Ingalls Wilder had the characters ie. her family reacting in ways that made sense to me and kept it real because everything did not go smoothly.

A Separate Peace (Marissa Yip-Young 5:53am August 7, 2015)
Dark Places. They were all not characters that I liked but it made sense in the context of who they were. (Pam Howell 12:22pm August 8, 2015)
