Rift Blog Tour

Today, I'm very happy to be a part of the blog tour in honor of Andrea Cremer's recently released Rift. Every blog on the tour will introduce a few of the characters, and I'm excited about mine because I get to fangirl their celebrity lookalikes.

Sixteen-year-old Ember Morrow is promised to a group called Conatus after one of their healers saves her mother's life. Once she arrives, Ember finds joy in wielding swords, learning magic, and fighting the encroaching darkness loose in the world. She also finds herself falling in love with her mentor, the dashing, brooding, and powerful Barrow Hess. When the knights realize Eira, one of their leaders, is dabbling in dark magic, Ember and Barrow must choose whether to follow Eira into the nether realm or to pledge their lives to destroying her and her kind.

With action, adventure, magic, and tantalizing sensuality, this book is as fast-paced and breathtaking as the Nightshade novels.

Kael: Kael likes to laugh and can be found joking in some of the most inappropriate situations. Though he’ll play the fool to entertain his peers, Kael is as deadly as any of his fellow knights and has been a fine mentor to Alistair.
