When it comes to spirits, twins Moria and Ashyn know their
place as one pair of the empire's Keepers and Seekers. When
Ashyn makes her first trip into the Forest of the Dead as
the only Seeker, the trip goes terribly wrong and an evil is
unleashed on the village. When chaos erupts, the twins are
separated, and they begin a journey to find each other and
stop the evil shadows.
SEA OF SHADOWS by Kelley Armstrong transports you into a
dark and scary world where spirits can drive a person mad
and shadows can turn loved ones into monsters. Armstrong
makes you feel like you're captured into this dark setting
and doesn't let you go until you finish the last page.
Moria and Ashyn both feel an obligation to their duty as
Keeper and Seeker, but beyond that, they are nearly
opposites. Moria is outspoken and has a warrior-like
bravery. When her and Ashyn get separated, Moria ends up
traveling with Gavril, a guard from her village. I love how
practical they both are, but you can still see a growing
affection between them. Ashyn feels overshadowed by her
tough twin and doesn't realize how intelligent and brave she
is on her own. She ends up traveling with a thief that was
exiled into the Forest of the Dead, Ronan. He is completely
adorable, and I love how compatible they are to each other.
The story flips focus between Ashyn and Moria, and both
have adventures that keep you turning the pages well into
the night.
All in all, I was utterly swept away by SEA OF SHADOWS.
Kelley Armstrong is an amazing writer, and I love this start
of a new series. For fans of any YA high fantasy, I would
absolutely recommend picking up this haunting tale.
Kelley Armstrong, #1 New York Times bestselling author,
takes an exciting new direction with this big, breathtaking
blend of fantasy, romance, horror, and pulse-pounding
action, perfect for fans of Graceling and Game of Thrones.
Twin sisters Moria and Ashyn were marked at birth to become
the Keeper and the Seeker of Edgewood, beginning with their
sixteenth birthday. Trained in fighting and in the secret
rites of the spirits, they lead an annual trip into the
Forest of the Dead. There, the veil between the living
world
and the beyond is thinnest, and the girls pay respect to
the
spirits who have passed.
But this year, their trip goes dreadfully wrong.
With all the heart-stopping romance and action that have
made her a #1 New York Times bestselling author, and set in
an unforgettably rich and dangerous world, this first epic
book in the Age of Legends trilogy will appeal to Kelley
Armstrong's legions of fans around the world and win her
many new ones.
