Description
In this first book of a trilogy, journey with clever Phoebe Douse, whose reluctance to believe peculiar events and stories is radically changed while attending a remote boarding school thousands of miles away in Scotland. There, Phoebe discovers the clandestine world of S3A2 led by powerful Ozmantahs, opens up to new and extraordinary friends, and experiences the extent of her own abilities through her connection to the timeless and coveted Fadrix. Ultimately, Phoebe will have to decide between her own ambitions and the lives of others.
Samuels weaves literary and genre fiction styles while readers are intrigued and entertained by the mystery and adventure that unfolds!
Advance Praise
"Samuels sets a leisurely pace and thoroughly develops the characters. This enhances the mystery, as it often involves trusting or distrusting fellow students and faculty members. The author rounds out her tale with increasing suspense … and a continually evolving backstory starting decades earlier…. As this is a series launch, the novel ends with copious material for sequels."
~ Kirkus Reviews
"The characters are phenomenal, each with their own special quirks and role they play in the story and in Phoebe’s life.… Phoebe Douse has mystery and action with themes of friendship, secrets, and trust, which will make for an addictive read from start to finish. You won’t be able to put it down until you reach the end!"
~ Liz Konkel for Readers' Favorite Book Review
"L. Samuels does a great job of delivering a fantasy genre novel with a classic literary feel. Phoebe is a well developed heroine thrust into an unusual world, urging her readers to discover and decide with her as different opportunities, both fantastic and dangerous, are presented to her."
~ K.C. Finn for Readers' Favorite Book Review
"The characters are wonderfully developed and sometimes it’s difficult to tell who is actually good. At no time did the author’s creative writing falter, it just got more fascinating."
~ Michelle Stanley for Readers' Favorite Book Review
"It’s an inspired blurring of fantasy and folklore. The world that Phoebe inhabits seems to go beyond a fictitious narrative. It glances upon a fascinating space that’s rarely experienced but familiar to the eye. ~ Nico This book has a very unique way of allowing my emotions to emerge…. Most of all, it captures my curiosity."
~ Marcia
