Today I’m excited to wish a happy book birthday to The Illuminated Kingdom, Book Four in the Voyages of the Legend series by friend and author Alina Sayre. Alina writes Middle Grade fantasy adventures with a touch of C. S. Lewis about them. Now, take a look at this lovely cover…
The Vestigia Roi has risen up to retake their home island of Rhynlyr, but all Ellie can think about is rescuing her missing brother, Connor. Guided by a dream of Connor’s whereabouts, Ellie disobeys the Council’s orders and stows away aboard the Legend. But a simple rescue mission quickly goes wrong as Ellie and her friends confront new monsters and old enemies. The crewmembers of the Legend soon find themselves waging a last, desperate battle to save not just Connor or Rhynlyr, but their entire world. As the One Kingdom hangs in the balance, Ellie and the Vestigia Roi must ultimately decide what they are fighting for—and how much they are willing to sacrifice for it.
Advance praise:
“…[an] astounding, imaginative world…” –Readers’ Favorite
