About this ebook

A mysterious key, a dark mage, and a thrilling journey of self-discovery and adventure

Elin has been searching for somewhere to belong her whole life it seems. Her parents abandoned her as a baby and every time her emotions run high, her magic slips her control, and she is forced to flee. Again and again.

She is found alone in the woods by a small group of Crystal mages and rangers. They are led by Kamaria, a mage who is desperate to prove herself, and the fascinating grey-eyed ranger, Kai. Elin joins them on a quest to a lost land and finds more than she bargained for! Danger and mystery, but also friendship and romance.

With renegade mages, assassins, and deadly creatures from legend standing in their way, Elin has to learn to control her wild magic, or a dark mage could be unleashed into the world.

it is so easy to slip into the world that this author has developed. The story is original, and the characters are so very real I feel I know them and am right there with them. I found it very difficult to put this book down, and I can't wait to travel alongside them to continue the adventure!

About the author

Jane Shand has always been an avid reader of fantasy and mystery and is an author of YA Fantasy.

She got hooked on fantasy after reading ‘Lord of the Rings’ at a young age and was determined to write books full of magic and adventure.

Her books always have magic, adventure, and some mystery. They are full of friendship and co-operation as well as danger and enemies. There will be a happy/satisfactory ending and some clean romance. Her books are all set in the same ‘world’ though on different continents and there is a thread/item that ties all the books together.

She lives in Hampshire, England with her family and two cheeky cats who would love to help her write.
