Genre: 
Paranormal

FANTASY:  On the planet of Ryca, a sinister plot unfolds through myriad twists, turns, and mind-blowing happenings. Tamara is a princess born with a chip on her shoulder and none of the magic running rampant in the rest of her family. In addition, Ryca’s magic is being stolen and history is erasing itself. Or is there a diabolical plot to usurp the throne that will stun the reader? Tamara embarks on a journey to rescue her missing family members, which means traveling through other realms in order to be successful. The story unfolds delightfully as Tamara learns a lot about herself, her deceased father, and other key characters in this fascinating read by Shereen Verdam. 

Dragons, Malekeans, and Mind Readers—Oh, My! This expedition is busy, but all the elements necessary to create a wondrous fantasy novel are here: magic, a royal hierarchy, complex characters, great world building, and a focused, central conflict that plays out with painstaking clarity and excitement. From page one, the reader will be fully involved in watching these superb characters learn and grow. Watching? Yes! Ms. Verdam excels at showing rather than telling. Unfortunately, the grammar, punctuation, and vocabulary issues keep this tale from reaching a five-star status. More thorough editing and proofreading are highly recommended to this author. Reading book one is not necessary to understand this story in its fullest. Ms. Verdam does not disappoint in the areas of character and plot building, as well as a sheer talent in creativity. A wonderfully woven tale of love, magic, and fantasy guaranteed to keep a reader engaged!
