So everyone, do you remember Kristen Cashore? The woman who wrote Graceling? Well, this is her companion book!
The story is centered around a young girl named Fire, who is the last of her kind. She is a human monster, like her father had been, and this is extremely troubling for her. Raptor monsters, insect monsters, and the like all want her blood. Fire is also appealing to humans because she is extremely beautiful. She covers her hair, so no man can be tempted by her looks. She even can completely take over one's mind, but refuses to use her powers in this manner.
In the Dells, King Nash is struggling to hold onto his throne while rebels are soon to send armies to try and defeat him. The Dells are at stake, and could crumple any minute, but no one knows which enemy may attack.
When a mysterious archer shoots Fire by accident, she senses some suspicion. She cannot grasp at his mind, and she does not know where he was from, or if he really tried to shoot him. Even more mysterious, he is killed later that night.
Fire eventually makes her way to King's City with Archer, her friend, and try to be of as much help as possible. Prince Brigan has so much hatred towards Fire, and in the beginning even despises her. Everyone tries to save the kingdom and learn more about this mysterious archer. Can the kingdom be saved? And will anyone ever learn of this archer and his purpose?
I know, not my best post, but still, the book rocks!
Enjoy!!
